These investors lost over half a million dollars as the price dip triggered massive liquidation. Notably, investors in the Cardano space were betting on higher figures after ADA reached a peak of $0.2941. The anticipation was high that ADA could finally breach the $0.30 resistance and attempt upward movement. However, the price slipped suddenly to leave bulls disappointed. As of this writing, Cardano exchanges hands at $0.2762, which represents a 2.88% decline in the last 24 hours. The coin’s outlook is further worsened by crashing volume. Cardano’s trading volume has dipped by 25.86% to $581.92 million within the same time frame. However, the asset’s Relative Strength Index (RSI), which stands at 72.12, signals overbought conditions, and this offers consolation of a possible rebound. In Cardano’s liquidation, those betting short on the asset suffered a mild loss of $8,470 within the same period.

Its price drop leaves its market cap at $10 billion and has been displaced by Hyperliquid (HYPE), whose market cap stands at $10.47 billion. It is worth mentioning that this displacement can easily be overturned if ADA rebounds in price. So, the Top 10 battle remains in contention amid the ongoing fluctuation on the crypto market. The last time ADA slipped from the Top 10, it was able to reclaim it when open interest surged in the Cardano ecosystem. A repeat could see that reoccur. #Cardano
