Cardano's ADA has been under sustained selling pressure since losing a key support level in mid-May, with short positions making up about 75% of derivatives exposure. Despite increased trading activity, much of it reflects bearish bets rather than renewed buying interest. The Cardano community is growing frustrated, shifting focus from price to concerns about ecosystem growth, developer activity, and user adoption. Without renewed confidence in Cardano's development and usage, ADA faces challenges in reversing its downtrend despite potential for a relief rally.
