It is also down about 5% over the past week, extending losses that began in late 2025. Year-to-date, the token is down roughly 1%, in line with broader market weakness.<\/p>\n<p>Market sentiment remains cautious. Ongoing geopolitical tensions between the US and Iran continue to weigh on risk assets, including ADA.<\/p>\n<h2>Key Support Holds for Now<\/h2>\n<p>ADA is hovering near a support zone around $0.32, marked as S1 on the weekly chart shared by Crypto Crew University. This level has held before and is now being tested again. It sits below the 21-week and 50-week moving averages, which means the longer trend is still down.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/16.0.1\/72x72\/1f4ca.png\" alt=\"\ud83d\udcca\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ADA?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ADA<\/a> 1W Update!<br \/>\nPrice sitting at S1 (~0.32), major decision level.<br \/>\nBelow 21 &amp; 50 MA = trend still heavy.<br \/>\nSRSI needs a cross to confirm momentum.<\/p>\n<p>This chart needs proof, not prediction.<\/p>\n<p>If you were trading this, what would invalidate your bias?<br \/>\nWe\u2019re debating it live inside\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/aVsIUpRlZ7\">pic.twitter.com\/aVsIUpRlZ7<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Crypto Crew University (@CryptoCrewU) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CryptoCrewU\/status\/2016843688211628333?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 29, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The Stochastic RSI has yet to form a bullish cross, meaning there is no strong signal of a shift in momentum. Traders are waiting to see if this support holds or breaks.<\/p>\n<p>On the daily chart, ADA is moving within a downward channel. The price recently bounced from $0.33 and is now testing short-term resistance at the 20-day EMA ($0.37) and the 50-day SMA ($0.38). These levels need to be cleared for any near-term move higher.

A close above the downtrend line could open the path to $0.50. Meanwhile, the RSI is near 44, showing weak momentum. A push above 50 may help confirm a breakout if buyers step in.<\/p>\n<h2>Large Holders Accumulate While Retail Sells<\/h2>\n<p>According to Santiment, large ADA wallets, holding between 100,000 and 100 million tokens, added more than 454 million ADA over the past two months, as we previously <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/450000000-ada-in-2-months-is-cardanos-price-on-the-verge-of-a-rally\/\">reported<\/a>. At current prices, that\u2019s about $160 million. Smaller holders with 100 ADA or less have sold 22,000 tokens over the past three weeks.<\/p>\n<p>On January 29, ADA recorded a net outflow of $3.36 million from exchanges. More tokens left platforms than entered, which often means users are moving funds into wallets for holding or staking.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1427316\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1427316\" style=\"width: 2560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Screenshot-2026-01-29-at-3.48.46-PM-scaled.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1427316\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Screenshot-2026-01-29-at-3.48.46-PM-scaled.png\" alt=\"Cardano (ADA) Spot Inflow\/Outflow\" width=\"2560\" height=\"698\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Screenshot-2026-01-29-at-3.48.46-PM-scaled.png 2560w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Screenshot-2026-01-29-at-3.48.46-PM-300x82.png 300w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Screenshot-2026-01-29-at-3.48.46-PM-1024x279.png 1024w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Screenshot-2026-01-29-at-3.48.46-PM-768x209.png 768w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Screenshot-2026-01-29-at-3.48.46-PM-1536x419.png 1536w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Screenshot-2026-01-29-at-3.48.46-PM-2048x559.png 2048w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Screenshot-2026-01-29-at-3.48.46-PM-90x25.png 90w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Screenshot-2026-01-29-at-3.48.46-PM-150x41.png 150w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Screenshot-2026-01-29-at-3.48.46-PM-2000x545.png 2000w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Screenshot-2026-01-29-at-3.48.46-PM-1600x436.png 1600w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Screenshot-2026-01-29-at-3.48.46-PM-1400x382.png 1400w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Screenshot-2026-01-29-at-3.48.46-PM-1200x327.png 1200w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Screenshot-2026-01-29-at-3.48.46-PM-1000x273.png 1000w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Screenshot-2026-01-29-at-3.48.46-PM-900x245.png 900w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Screenshot-2026-01-29-at-3.48.46-PM-800x218.png 800w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Screenshot-2026-01-29-at-3.48.46-PM-700x191.png 700w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Screenshot-2026-01-29-at-3.48.46-PM-600x164.png 600w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Screenshot-2026-01-29-at-3.48.46-PM-500x136.png 500w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Screenshot-2026-01-29-at-3.48.46-PM-400x109.png 400w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Screenshot-2026-01-29-at-3.48.46-PM-200x55.png 200w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Screenshot-2026-01-29-at-3.48.46-PM-100x27.png 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1427316\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cardano (ADA) Spot Inflow\/Outflow 1.29.
