Per IntoTheBlock data, Cardano whales have become more active in the previous 24 hours, with a 213% increase in large transactions.

The ADA price is now attempting to recover after plunging to lows at $0.78 on March 11. At the time of publication, ADA was trading at $0.792 as per CoinMarketCap data. Cardano remains down 74.35% from all-time highs of near $3 reached in September 2021.
Large investors, known as whales, appear to be bargain hunting as the Cardano network hints at significant development. It might be worth noting that every market cycle has an accumulation phase, during which prices flatten and contrarian investors see an opportunity to buy at a discount.
When this market cycle is finished, the next one, the "Mark-Up Phase," begins. This refers to a phase in which the market has been stable for a while and is beginning to move higher.

Bitrue (BTR), a cryptocurrency exchange, has announced yet another significant addition to its trading pairs based on Cardano (ADA).

The overall value of the Cardano network (including staked governance tokens) has risen rapidly from around $199.74 million to $262 million.
