Cardano (ADA) has bucked the general market trend with an 11% price surge over the past week. Amid rising prices, transactions involving the altcoin have become profitable, prompting long-term holders to sell some of their coins.
Although profit-taking activity is underway, the 11th altcoin by market capitalization seeks to maintain its uptrend.
Cardano Long Holders Lock in GainsTransactions involving Cardano have returned significant profits over the past week, driven by a double-digit price rally despite broader market downturns.
On Thursday alone, the ratio of daily on-chain transactions in profit to loss has reached 1.53. This indicates that for every ADA transaction resulting in a loss, 1.53 transactions have generated profits.

According to Santiment, these metrics tracking the behavior of long-term holders saw a decline on September 11. A drop in suggests that long-term holders, who typically buy at lower prices, are selling to take profits. This selling reduces the average age of the coins in their possession.

This bearish line emerges when an asset faces significant selling pressure and struggles to break above a price level, which forms strong resistance. With strong demand backing its price rally, ADA’s attempt to break above this resistance line might be successful.
If Cardano’s price breaks above the trend line, its value may surge by another 34% to trade at a two-month high of $0.47.
