Valentine upgrade went well? 

Apart from the aforementioned announcements, Cardano recently pushed its much-awaited Valentine upgrade.

After the launch, ADA’s price gained upward momentum as its weekly price increased by more than 10%. According to CoinMarketCap, at the time of writing, ADA was trading at $0.3936 with a market capitalization of over $13.6 billion.

However, the bullish sentiment changed in the last 24 hours, as ADA’s daily chart was red. A look at ADA’s on-chain metrics revealed a few factors that might have played a role in the recent downtrend.

For instance, after the Valentine upgrade, ADA’s development activity declined, which was a negative signal. Its MVRV Ratio also registered a downtick.

Moreover, ADA’s weighted sentiments were also negative. Thus, reflecting bearish sentiment in the market. ADA’s Binance funding rate also plummeted in the last few days, but it managed to regain its demand from the derivatives market, which was a positive update.

The coming days can bring better news

Though the last 24 hours did not align with the best interests of investors, the coming days can bring good news, as suggested by several of the market indicators.

The MACD displayed the possibility of a bullish crossover. Apart from that, ADA’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) both registered slight upticks and were headed further above the neutral mark, which was bullish.

The Exponential Moving Average (EMA) Ribbon also remained bullish as the 20-day EMA was well above the 55-day EMA.
