IntoTheBlock reported that the number of large transactions on the Cardano[1] blockchain had increased by an enormous margin, which indicated[2] that there was increasing institutional demand. Santiment also noted an uptick in the number of whales on the network. However, a little over half of the addresses on the network[3] are out of the money, meaning they are holding ADA at a loss.

The longer-term market structure for ADA had been bearish as it went on a strong downtrend from September to early March. In the past few weeks, the price has broken out of a descending wedge pattern (white) and broken past the $1 level. The $1 level has been a strong area of resistance, both technically and psychologically in the past.
Yet, the bulls were able to push past this area, retest it to find some demand, and push toward $1.26. The next level of resistance lies at $1.39, with a bearish order block at $1.38 (red box) from late December.
Further north, the $1.6-$1.62 level would be the next area to look toward, should ADA succeed in pushing past $1.26 and $1.4.
