69% of binance's top traders are long cardano, with a long-short ratio near 2.23, one of the highest readings since early december. this strong bullish sentiment from informed traders, coupled with the $1.25 billion market cap success of cardano's associated token, midnight (night), indicates significant positive momentum building for ada.
The data on top trader positions is sourced directly from binance, a major exchange, reflecting institutional/whale sentiment. the success of midnight is a verifiable market event.
Despite ada currently drifting near $0.36, the heavy long positioning from top traders suggests they are anticipating an 'eventual reversal' and accumulating during a low-volatility phase. the success of the 'new ada' (midnight) further enhances the ecosystem's narrative.
The accumulation by professional accounts during low-volatility phases, positioning for an 'eventual reversal' and 'early cycle setups,' typically implies a longer-term play rather than an immediate price surge.

The dual momentum between ADA and NIGHT paints an unusual picture: ADA itself continues to drift near $0.36, down almost 60% from October highs, yet top traders appear to be positioning for an eventual reversal rather than further weakness.
