Cardano ADA $0.80 24h volatility: 3.1% Market cap: $28.85 B Vol. 24h: $2.10 B extended its bullish streak on Thursday, July 17, closing at $0.8101 with a strong 5.98% gain. The price surged past the critical 200-day moving average ($0.7476), forming its first daily close above that level since March. Volume jumped to $290.88 million, confirming renewed spot demand.
The rally was fueled in part by increased derivatives activity. According to market data, Cardano’s Open Interest spiked 12.06% in the past 24 hours, climbing to $1.45 billion. This sharp increase in leveraged exposure, without an equivalent surge in liquidations, suggests that bulls are confidently increasing positions rather than chasing liquidations or reacting to volatility.
