Cardano (ADA) has lately been experiencing a prolonged series of losses. The token has been sitting still, trading at lower price ranges, despite the evolving crypto market dynamics. This has led investors to question whether Cardano is still a viable crypto asset, putting more pressure on the token to perform better.

Per a recent Santiment report, average Cardano wallets that have been active in the past year have netted a return of -43% on their investments. However, this extreme MVRV is also hinting at a potential buying opportunity for investors.

“Average wallets that have been active on the Cardano network over the past year are netting a return of -43% on their investments. Memes aside about the altcoin’s major -71% price decline since September. This extreme negative MVRV value is generally an indicator of $ADA being in an ‘opportunity’ or ‘buy’ zone.”

Santiment further shared how this particular narrative, where a coin’s consistent price plunge may sometimes reverse its fortune, as investor sentiment towards the token may turn around at the last moment.

“In a zero-sum game. When average returns are severely negative, this is an indication of a looming turnaround. With coins always averaging 0% on MVRVs (average trading returns) across any timeframe. So when other traders are in severe pain. Key stakeholders and professional traders are intrigued by this due to the lowered risk of buying or adding on to their positions.”

A Rising Bottom Signal?

The coin, on the other hand, is also encountering a stark bottom signal, as Cardano’s finding rate on Binance is encountering more shorts than longs.

“On top of this, Cardano’s funding rate on Binance is seeing the largest ratio of shorts (compared to longs). Since June 2023. Traders are clearly expecting that the #12 market cap will continue to decline in value. Historically, this is another bottom signal.

Cardano’s Future?
