The Cardano price has been in red-hot form over the past few days, making a highly anticipated return to above $1 on Friday. This recent bullish momentum made ADA the best-performing asset among the top 10 largest cryptocurrencies in the past week.

While this burst of positive price action could be linked to the improving climate of the altcoin market, it appears that the increased activity of large holders (whales) is responsible for the latest price surge.

Prominent crypto analyst Ali Martinez revealed in a new post on the X platform that the Cardano whales have become increasingly active in the market over the last few days. This on-chain observation is based on the increase in the holdings of investors who own between 10 million and 100 million coins.

According to data from Santiment, Cardano whales acquired more than 40 million ADA tokens (worth about $42.8 million at the current market value) in 48 hours. This level of buying activity highlights the strong faith in the asset’s promise despite the sluggish market climate.

As seen with the price action over the past few days, increased whale activity can have a positive impact on the price of Cardano. Hence, sustained buying activity could see the altcoin’s price to its highs of early December 2024. What Next For Cardano Price?

As of this writing, the Cardano price sits just above the $1 mark, reflecting a nearly 2% decline in the past 24 hours. However, this negative performance has barely impacted the altcoin’s weekly gain, which currently stands at around 26%.

In another post on X, Martinez revealed that the Cardano price is playing out like it did in the previous cycle. During the last bull cycle, the ADA token grew exponentially in less than a year, reaching the current all-time high price of $3.09.

The analyst believes that if the altcoin follows the recent historical pattern, a move to $4 could be imminent. However, from the highlighted chart, the Cardano price might travel as high as $6 before hitting a major roadblock.
