Cardano traded around $0.279 on October 6 after a weekly gain. Open interest rose roughly 25% to $304 million, and aggregate futures open interest across tracked venues stood near $696 million. Measured in ADA rather than dollars, open interest still rose about 13%. Whale activity increased, and the rally is tied to new leveraged positions rather than only short covering.

Key points

  1. Cardano open interest rose roughly 25% to $304 million during the rally.
  2. Open interest measured in ADA rather than dollars still increased about 13%.
  3. Reports question a short-squeeze explanation and point to new leveraged positions entering.

Why it matters

Open interest and whale transactions show leveraged positions building in ADA near $0.28, a zone that previously acted as resistance. One report notes a weekly close above roughly $0.277 would strengthen the breakout structure.

What's unclear

Reports differ on the weekly gain, citing almost 9% on one side and 11.1% over seven days on the other.
Scenarios pointing to $0.30 from an analyst and an AI model are not confirmed by current price action.
