Can Cardano (ADA) Price Bounce Amid Rising Risk Appetite?
Cardano (ADA) derivatives traders seem confident that the altcoin’s price will soon recover much of its recent losses, according to data obtained by BeInCrypto from Coinglass.
ADA, like many cryptocurrencies, has faced challenges over the past few days, currently trading at a seven-day low of $0.35. Despite the underwhelming market conditions, these traders appear unfazed. The question remains: Will their optimism prove to be the right call?
Confidence in Cardano Recovery Hit Extreme Heights
According to data from the derivatives information portal Coinglass, the 4-hour Long/Short ratio for Cardano (ADA) currently stands at 2.91. The Long/Short ratio measures the buying volume (longs) relative to the selling volume (shorts) on futures contracts.
This ratio provides insight into market sentiment among traders. A ratio below 1 indicates bearish sentiment, while a value above 1 suggests that more traders are taking long positions, expecting the price to rise.
For Cardano, the current ratio indicates that nearly 75% of traders holding ADA-related contracts expect the price to rebound, while only 25% anticipate another decline. This strong bias toward long positions reflects optimism among traders that ADA will recover from its recent downturn.

However, it’s not just traders in the derivatives market who are optimistic about ADA’s potential recovery. On-chain data from IntoTheBlock suggests that ADA holders are also confident that the altcoin will regain its losses.
To provide context, BeInCrypto examines the Coins’ Holding Time, a metric that tracks how long a cryptocurrency has been held without being sold or transacted. When this metric decreases, it indicates that holders are selling.
In ADA’s case, the Coins Holding Time has increased by 64% over the past seven days and by an impressive 103% over the last 30 days. This rise suggests that holders are maintaining their positions, which could help stabilize ADA’s price and prevent another downturn — barring any unforeseen negative developments in the market.
ADA Price Prediction: Bulls Need to Defend Key Support
While Cardano’s price has dropped 15% since Saturday, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator suggests that relief might be on the horizon. The MACD is a technical oscillator that helps traders identify buying and selling trends and gauge momentum.
A negative MACD indicates bearish momentum, while a positive reading signals bullish momentum. In Cardano’s case, the positive value of the MACD, despite the recent price decline, suggests a bullish divergence. If this divergence holds, it could precede a price increase.
However, there are crucial levels to monitor. For ADA to confirm the bullish outlook, it needs to stay above $0.34. If it fails to do so, a deeper correction to $0.31 could occur. On the other hand, if bulls defend the $0.34 region, ADA could start an upward move toward $0.39 in the short term.

Meanwhile, a significant price decrease could spark massive long liquidations and potentially drive a long squeeze. For those unfamiliar, a long squeeze happens when traders expecting a price increase are forced to sell to prevent further losses.

WisdomTree Europe Launches XRP ETP
ETF issuer WisdomTree’s European division just announced a new ETP based on XRP. This product is currently available in four EU countries, which has led XRP’s price to jump slightly.
ETPs are a common issuer strategy to earn revenue without ETF approval, but Europe will not necessarily approve one even if the US does so.
WisdomTree’s XRP ETP
WisdomTree, one of the Bitcoin ETF issuers in the US, announced that its European branch is offering an exchange-traded product (ETP) based on XRP. This new product is currently available in Germany, Switzerland, France, and the Netherlands. A growing number of issuers have filed for an XRP ETF, but WisdomTree is taking a slightly different tack.
“The WisdomTree Physical XRP ETP offers a simple, secure, and low-cost way to gain exposure to XRP, one of the largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. Backed 100% by XRP, XRPW is the lowest-priced XRP ETP in Europe, providing direct spot price exposure,” the announcement claimed.
The possibility of an official XRP ETF is growing with the current bull market, and Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse considers it “inevitable.” Still, it hasn’t happened yet, and ETP offerings allow issuers to somewhat address customers’ requirements. BitWise, which has also filed for an XRP ETF in the US, recently acquired a European ETP issuer to enter the same market.
WisdomTree, however, is no stranger to this market strategy. In May this year, it won approval to offer ETPs based on Bitcoin and Ethereum to British investors.
The UK has not yet approved a full ETF for either of these assets, but WisdomTree still gained market access. Even a fraction of the XRP market could also prove lucrative; the asset’s value spiked today.
WisdomTree Europe’s strategy page does not describe any further actions upon full approval. Even if the US approves an XRP ETF under the SEC’s new leadership, that won’t necessarily benefit WisdomTree’s European branch. For now, these ETPs built on XRP will have to suffice for this market.
