The MELANIA token, a memecoin linked to US First Lady Melania Trump, is under scrutiny after blockchain data suggested that its developers may be behind a series of major sell-offs.

According to blockchain analyst EmberCN, the project’s team has allegedly offloaded over 31 million tokens over the past month, raising concerns about insider-driven activity.

Since March 16, wallet addresses associated with the MELANIA project have reportedly moved 31.685 million tokens from community and liquidity pools. These were converted into 138,800 SOL, worth around $18.4 million at the time of the transactions.

EmberCN revealed that the token sales were executed through a method known as unilateral liquidity provisioning. This approach allows sellers to convert tokens into crypto, often without requiring a buyer on the other end.

Meanwhile, the actions appear to have put significant downward pressure on the token’s value.

According to CryptoSlate’s data, MELANIA, which peaked at over $13 after its launch earlier this year, dropped more than 96% to an all-time low of $0.38 on April 20.

Despite the dramatic drop, MELANIA has shown a slight rebound. As of press time, the token’s price has recovered around 14%, trading at approximately $0.5223.

Cardano is currently trading around a key daily demand zone, with bulls attempting to step in and stabilize price action after weeks of decline. The broader crypto market remains under pressure, driven by persistent macroeconomic instability and heightened global uncertainty. As financial markets continue to react to inflation fears, trade tensions, and erratic policy moves, altcoins like ADA have been hit especially hard.

Analysts are warning that the downtrend could continue, with little indication of a shift in sentiment in the near term. Many believe Cardano may follow the broader altcoin market, which has seen deep corrections across the board.

Adding to the bearish outlook, on-chain data from Santiment reveals that whales offloaded nearly 200 million ADA throughout March. This significant sell-off by large holders has only added to the downward pressure, fueling concerns that more downside may be ahead if bulls fail to reclaim key levels.

As Cardano trades near support, the next few sessions will be crucial. Whether bulls can defend this zone and push ADA higher — or if continued whale selling leads to further losses — remains to be seen in a market that’s showing few signs of stability.

Cardano Struggles As Whale Selling Intensifies

Cardano has seen a sharp decline, losing more than 45% of its value since March 3 amid a wave of selling pressure that has rocked the broader crypto market. As macroeconomic instability continues to drive uncertainty across financial markets, altcoins like ADA have taken the brunt of the damage. Now trading near a critical support zone, Cardano faces growing pressure from both retail sentiment and large-scale holders exiting their positions.

Bulls are in a difficult position, needing to step in and defend current levels to avoid a steeper correction. If ADA fails to hold support, analysts warn that a drop toward the $0.50 mark is likely — a level not seen in months and one that could confirm a shift into a deeper bearish phase.

Adding to the bearish outlook, top analyst Ali Martinez shared insights revealing that whales sold nearly 200 million ADA during March alone. This kind of large-scale selling from top holders typically signals fading confidence and adds further downside pressure to already struggling price action.

With market sentiment still fragile, Cardano’s next move will likely depend on whether bulls can reclaim momentum — or if continued whale selling and macro fears drag the price lower. Holding current levels is essential to prevent ADA from sliding into even more critical territory in the days ahead.

Price Action Details: Bulls Defending Critical Demand

Cardano (ADA) is currently trading at $0.68 after failing to hold the $0.75 level, signaling a continuation of bearish momentum. The recent drop also pushed ADA below the 200-day moving average (MA) and exponential moving average (EMA), both sitting around the $0.72 mark — critical indicators that have now flipped into resistance. This loss has further weakened the short-term structure, leaving bulls with limited options.

The next key level to watch is $0.62. Bulls must defend this zone with conviction to prevent a deeper selloff and attempt to form a base for recovery. Reclaiming levels above $0.72 would be the first step in regaining control, but without immediate buying pressure, the outlook remains fragile.

If Cardano fails to hold above $0.62, analysts warn that a sharp decline into the $0.57–$0.55 range could follow. This would mark a significant breakdown and could trigger panic selling, especially as overall market sentiment remains shaky.

With ADA under pressure and technical levels breaking down, the coming days will be crucial. Bulls must act swiftly to reclaim lost ground, or risk watching Cardano slide further into lower demand zones.

Recent on-chain data from Glassnode reveals that retail investors, defined as addresses holding 1 BTC or less, have significantly ramped up their Bitcoin purchases in the past two months. Although this interesting trend among retail traders is very bullish for the leading cryptocurrency, it has been contrasted by a deviating trend among whale addresses, who have been offloading Bitcoin at an accelerating rate during this timeframe.

Retail Investors Accumulate Bitcoin At Record Pace

Data from on-chain analytics platform Glassnode reveals that retail investors have significantly increased their Bitcoin purchases since mid-December. On average, these smaller investors have been accumulating 10,627 BTC per day, a 72% increase compared to last year’s daily average of 6,177 BTC. 

This increase in Bitcoin accumulation contrasts with the ideal behavior of retail traders, who aren’t known for their buying behavior. For instance, Glassnode data shows that retail addresses sold massively into Bitcoin’s strength as it surged past $100,000 for the first time in November 2024.

Whales Increase Bitcoin Sell-Offs At 9x Higher Rate

While retail investors are aggressively accumulating Bitcoin, the next cohort of traders (whales holding over 1,000 BTC) have been offloading Bitcoin at an accelerating rate. This trend is also relayed through data from Glassnode, which shows that these high-volume holders have sent an average of 32,509 BTC per day to exchanges since November 24.

This is a dramatic 9x increase in potential sell-side pressure from these large-volume addresses compared to their yearly average.

The timing of this offloading aligns with before and after Bitcoin’s surge past the $100,000 mark in early December. This trend suggests that long-term holders took advantage of this psychological milestone and have been doing so since then, especially as Bitcoin continues to revisit the level from time to time.

What These Shifting Dynamics Mean For Bitcoin’s Price

The diverging behavior between retail investors and whales presents a complex scenario for Bitcoin’s price trajectory. On one hand, strong retail accumulation indicates a growing belief in Bitcoin’s long-term value, which could provide a solid foundation for future price appreciation. Retail investors stepping in to buy suggests that positive market sentiment is at a high for Bitcoin.

However, the sheer volume of Bitcoin being offloaded by whales introduces a considerable risk of short-term price corrections. If this selling pressure persists and is not met with sufficient demand, Bitcoin could continue to experience significant pullbacks after every brief uptrend.

Bitcoin’s price action since it first broke above $100,000 in early December has been full of ups and downs. It has already been two months since Bitcoin attained this milestone, but it continues to struggle with the weight of liquidity around the zone. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $96,945.
