The Cardano (ADA) price has been outperforming the rest of the crypto market today with more than 12% gains while extending the rally to $0.83. This comes amid a staggering 145% surge in the Cardano whale accumulation over the past month. Over the last week, ADA has gained nearly 54% being among the top-performing altcoins, with investors soon eyeing a rally to the crucial milestone of $1.0.
Cardano (ADA) Whale Accumulation Triggers Price Rally?
Crypto analyst Ali Martinez pointed out a significant surge in the Cardano whale activity and accumulation. This shows growing confidence in Cardano’s native token ADA. According to Martinez, wallets holding over $10 million worth of ADA have increased their positions by an impressive 145.72% over the past month.

Furthermore, the Cardano blockchain has also witnessed a healthy uptick in decentralized finance (DeFi) activity on the network. Cardano’s Total Value Locked (TVL) has surged to $479.8 million, approaching its all-time high as the blockchain continues to gain traction, as per the data from DeFiLlama.
This growth comes amid ADA’s rising price and increased activity across decentralized exchanges (DEXes), lending platforms, and other protocols within the Cardano ecosystem. The momentum underscores the expanding utility and adoption of Cardano’s DeFi infrastructure.
This surge in the DeFi activity along with bullish Cardano on-chain metrics shows that the ADA price rally can continue further from here.
Is ADA Preparing for a Mega Rally to $6?
Blockchain analytics platform Santiment reported that ADA is already decoupling from the altcoin pack with the price approaching an 8-month high. The ADA-to-Bitcoin price ratio is also nearing an 8-month peak, reflecting growing strength against the leading cryptocurrency. Santiment noted that current ADA transaction and whale activity levels were last observed in June, just before a 26% surge in the ADA/BTC pair.
As of press time, the ADA price is trading at $0.786 with a market cap of $27.54 billion and daily trading volume surging by 25% to $2.27 billion.

On the other hand, crypto analyst Ali Martinez noted that the Cardano price is showing very similar patterns to the 2020 bull run. Sharing a chart earlier in November, he showed that ADA could be heading for a 2000% rally all the way to $6 while hitting a new ADA all-time high. Martinez wrote:
“I believe Cardano is following a similar pattern to 2020. If history repeats, we might see a pump around November 18—about two weeks after the US elections—and a potential market top by September 2025”.
