Cardano's $ADA has posted four straight days of gains, with the token rising more than 30% over the past seven days. That performance stands out against the broader altcoin market, where most other top-20 tokens recorded weekly gains of between 1% and 18%.
The price rebound has coincided with a notable uptick in new network participants. According to on-chain analytics firm Santiment, Cardano added 14,783 non-empty ADA wallets between June 23 and July 4, a signal analysts have taken as early evidence of returning retail confidence.
U Today reported that ADA fell to $0.138 on June 25, a level last seen in December 2020, before recovering sharply. Santiment described the move as a price decoupling after "peak FUD" created rifts in the community the prior month.
The wallet growth follows a bruising June for the asset. Crypto News noted that the pressure had been building for weeks, with ADA dropping below $0.20 on June 4 amid failed funding votes, cancelled ecosystem plans, and warnings from founder Charles Hoskinson about possible project failures. Santiment noted that "retail support has been one of ADA's strongest traits" through difficult market periods.
The $0.20 level is now the immediate test for bulls. Analysts note that a clean move above that mark would open the door toward the daily 200-day moving average near $0.27. Failure to hold it, however, could leave the token exposed to a fresh pullback.
Wallet growth alone does not confirm a sustained recovery. A broader return of trading volume, improved DeFi activity, and higher transaction demand would be needed to support a durable move higher. For now, the data points to a market moving away from last month's fear, though the degree of conviction behind that shift remains to be tested.
