#Cardano fam, I don’t know if it’s just me but when I see large Crypto influencer accounts go bearish that makes me even more optimistic about the medium to long term. As always my belief is that 2026 is going to surprise most. Max pain is to the upside imho.

Hope all is well,…

Why I’m Not “Buying the Dip” on ADA Just Yet 📉🛑

I’ve been staring at this Daily chart for $ADA for a while now, and I know what most people are thinking: “It’s at the bottom of the bands! It’s deep in the red! This is the perfect entry!”

Meanwhile, the ADA trader in the post above explains why he will not buy the ADA price dip just yet. As we can see from the post above, he says that ADA on the daily chart may look like the perfect entry, but that does not mean that ADA is ready to move up. The asset looks to be pinned in a dark red zone at the moment, and he does not believe this to be the floor, instead, he says it looks like a weight.

He explains that this could be a zone of maximum pressure and exhaustion, where a lot of traders get stuck in ‘sideways purgatory’ for weeks. He says he is not waiting for the bottom price, but just wants to see if ADA can prove that it has the strength to climb out of this red hole. Thus, he is waiting to see ADA make a decisive break and a daily close above the $0.45 price level.

Long-Term Bullish Cardano Altcoin Pump?

In conclusion, he says that until ADA escapes that zone, the bears are the ones holding the keys. So, his plan would mean buying at slightly higher prices with confirmed momentum than buying at the ‘perfect bottom’ and hope that it doesn’t leak lower. He finishes his post by reminding the masses that Trading isn’t about being the first one at the party, but rather about making sure the party is actually happening before walking through the door.
