CryptoQuant data show 38.8% of altcoins are trading close to their all-time lows, the highest level since September 2022 when the metric peaked at 65.7%.

Cardano (ADA) is trading around $0.2687 within a daily range of $0.2684 to $0.2876, with price below the Donchian Channel basis line at $0.283 and subdued momentum. The upper Donchian band sits near $0.313 and the lower band around $0.254, while the Relative Volatility Index is close to 34.9 versus a signal line near 32.4 and below the neutral 50 mark, indicating weakening but not yet reversing conditions. Analyst Ali Martinez highlights $0.245, $0.112, and $0.051 as key downside levels, with $0.245 as the nearest structural support and $0.051 as a longer‑term macro zone, while resistance is seen near $0.538 and then around $1.186. ADA has gained 4.4% over the past 7 days but fallen 6.5% over 14 days, and a more durable recovery would require the token to reclaim the Donchian midline and build momentum toward the upper band.

Lido said it has prepared a fix to undergo audit and be deployed during the next scheduled onchain governance vote in late March or early April, after which deposit functionality is expected to resume.
