Cardano’s Funding Rates Hit Yearly Low: Is a Rebound on the Horizon?

Jane Kariuki 4 February 2025
Cardano
  • Cardano (ADA) recently experienced a 24% price drop to $0.67, along with its funding rates hitting a yearly low of -49%, signaling strong bearish sentiment and declining DeFi activity.
  • However, oversold indicators like the RSI and Bollinger bands suggest a potential rebound if ADA can reclaim key resistance levels, though risks of further losses remain.

The cryptocurrency market has had a turbulent start to February 2025, with Cardano (ADA) facing a steep price drop of 24% on February 3, sinking to $0.67. Along with this decline, Cardano’s funding rates hit their lowest level in over a year, raising concerns about the asset’s future trajectory. Could this indicate an extended bearish trend, or is a price reversal on the horizon?

Understanding Funding Rates and Their Impact

Funding rates serve as a crucial indicator of market sentiment, reflecting the balance between long (buy) and short (sell) positions in the futures market. When these rates turn negative, as seen with Cardano’s -49% funding rate, it signals that traders are overwhelmingly betting against the asset. This bearish outlook may suggest further declines, but it can also set the stage for a potential “short squeeze” if the market unexpectedly reverses direction.

ADA’s Struggles Amid Market Downturn

The broader cryptocurrency market suffered a 10% drop in total market capitalization on February 3, further compounding ADA’s woes. The significant price drop led to the liquidation of over $31 million in long positions, the second-largest liquidation event for ADA in the past year. These liquidations intensified selling pressure, accelerating the price decline.

Factors Driving ADA’s Decline

Several key factors have contributed to Cardano’s recent struggles:

  • Bearish Market Sentiment: The dramatic drop in funding rates reflects a growing lack of confidence among traders.
  • Declining DeFi Activity: The Total Value Locked (TVL) on Cardano has plummeted to $312 million, its lowest level since November 2024, signaling decreased demand for the blockchain’s ecosystem.
  • Technical Weakness: The steep price drop has resulted in ADA breaking below key support levels, intensifying fears of further losses.

Signs of a Potential Reversal

Despite the negative outlook, some indicators hint at a possible rebound:

  • Oversold Conditions: The Relative Strength Index (RSI) for ADA has fallen to 25, a strong indication that the asset may be undervalued and due for a bounce.
  • Bollinger Band Break: ADA’s price has dipped below the lower Bollinger band with increased trading volumes, another potential sign of an oversold market.
  • Key Resistance Level: If ADA can reclaim the $0.84 resistance level, it could signal a shift in momentum, favoring a price recovery.

The Risk of Further Losses

While a recovery remains possible, the risk of further declines cannot be ignored. A drop below the critical support level of $0.31 could trigger additional selling pressure, pushing ADA to even lower price levels. Traders and investors should closely monitor these key levels to assess the market’s next move.

Conclusion: What’s Next for ADA?

Cardano is at a crossroads. Its yearly low in funding rates and declining DeFi activity point to significant bearish pressure, yet oversold technical indicators suggest a possible turnaround. Whether ADA stages a comeback or continues its descent depends on market sentiment and key price movements in the coming weeks. As always in the volatile world of crypto, staying informed and vigilant is essential for navigating uncertain times.
