How whales trade ADA
Layer 1 tokens such as ADA tend to move with ecosystem news: launches, airdrops, grants and token unlocks. A cluster of large buys that persists across several candles often appears before trend moves, while isolated prints are usually noise.
This page opens with a $10K minimum order filter, which you can change under "Min order". On the chart, bubbles mark large orders (green for market buys, red for market sells, a gold ring above $1M), the volume pane splits buying from selling, CVD tracks the running difference, and the liquidations pane shows forced orders.
Reading the ADA radar
- If the buy share in the top bar stays above 60% for several minutes, aggressive buyers are in control.
- Large sell bubbles landing at the high of a candle, followed by a falling CVD, often mark short-term exhaustion.
- A burst of long liquidations after a drop can mark capitulation, while a burst of short liquidations after a rally can mark a squeeze.
