Cardano's Wednesday session took a hit after a 150,000,000 ADA transfer — about $63.3 million — moved between two unknown wallets, as reported by Whale Alert.
The market noticed the size, the timing and the fact that it came during a slow trading stretch. As a result, in the next 15 minutes, ADA price slipped from about $0.421 to $0.414 on shorter time frames before settling near $0.417-$0.418.
The daily chart was already pointing down. ADA has been on a bit of a slide since early October, moving from the $0.95-$1.05 range into a decline that stretched through November. This close near $0.417 keeps the Cardano token inside that same path, where each bounce fades quickly and buyers do not hold ground for long.
The transfer is now the main topic of conversation. When a holder moves 150 million ADA during a weak stretch, traders naturally assume the wallet may be preparing options — selling, rotating or simply positioning for whatever comes next. We do not have any solid confirmation, but it is rare for major players to move funds of this size without a clear reason.
Cardano's December history does not offer much relief
The month looks strong in the numbers because of one exceptional year, while most Decembers were mild or negative. With ADA near multimonth lows, the market is more willing to think this month could be quieter than usual.
If ADA breaks below $0.41, the chart shows it heading toward $0.38-$0.40, which was the support zone in November. Keeping the current range helps stabilize prices, but if there is more activity on the wallet, traders might see it as an early sign of selling and adjust their positions.
