Cardano's ADA Breaks Out: Futures Data Points to Fresh Long Demand, Not Just Short Covering

AI Market Summary

Santiment data suggests Cardano's recent rally is supported by fresh positioning rather than a short-covering squeeze. During the Oct 3–5 move, ADA open interest rose ~25% to above $300m, while ADA-denominated positions increased ~13%, implying new longs entered as price advanced. This combination typically reflects improving risk appetite and can tighten liquidity if leverage continues to build.
