According to IntoTheBlock data shared by Ali, Cardano whales or large holders have scooped up 560 million ADA worth $218.4 million in the past two weeks.

On April 3, Ali made a specific categorization as he reported that Cardano whales holding 1 million to 10 million ADA had bought nearly 150 million ADA worth $57 million since February.
At the time of writing, ADA was marginally up in the last 24 hours to $0.388. While ADA's price consolidates, Ali believes ADA has the potential to move to $0.60 if a textbook head and shoulders pattern on its daily chart is validated.
