This new update was reflected on Cardano’s on-chain metrics. As per Santiment’s data, ADA’s development activity surged substantially last week, displaying the efforts made by developers to improve the network.

A look at Santiment’s chart revealed that investors’ confidence in Cardano increased over the last week. This was evident from the rise in its weighted sentiment. Additionally, ADA also became a topic of discussion in the crypto community as its social volume surged.

ADA’s chart did not reflect achievements
However, at press time, the aforementioned positive updates did not impact ADA’s price, as its daily and weekly charts remained red. As per CoinMarketCap, ADA was down by over 8% in the last seven days.
At the time of writing, it was trading at $0.2599, with a market capitalization of more than $9 billion.
But, the scenario might soon change as CryptoQuant’s data revealed that ADA’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) was in an oversold position, which was bullish. Its MVRV Ratio improved slightly over the last week. Whale activity was also high, as evident from ADA’s stable whale transaction count.
Moreover, its funding rate was red. The price generally moves the other way than the funding rate, giving hope for a price uptick.
