Plan a leveraged trade on ADA

Pick a side, when you close and your leverage: we replay that exact trade on the past cases behind this ADA prediction and count how it ended.

Best historical window for ADA in setups like this: short, hold 7 days, 4× — profitable 57.6% of the time, typical +5.2%, liquidated 8.1% of the time (n=79).

The planner and its replay chart run in your browser: turn on JavaScript to replay your own ADA trade on these past cases.

Odds from similar past cases, not financial advice. Leverage multiplies losses too: a liquidated position loses its whole margin.

Why we think this

the reasoning, in short

Drivers

Starting point: across all past cases, coins were higher 30 days later 37% of the time. Each factor below shows how often that happened in ADA's situation; the call blends them with the closest match (79 cases) into 39% higher.

Large-cap

Large-cap coin ($9.5B market cap). Coins this size were higher 30 days later 43% of the time (6,555 cases), vs 37% across all cases.

higher 43% of the time in this situation vs 37% across all cases here 43% · normal 37% higher 30 days later

Bitcoin above its 50-day average

Bitcoin is above its 50-day average. In that situation, coins were higher 30 days later 39% of the time (82,194 cases), vs 37% across all cases.

higher 39% of the time in this situation vs 37% across all cases here 39% · normal 37% higher 30 days later

Up 21% over 30 days

Up 21% over the last 30 days. After a month like that, coins were higher 30 days later 34% of the time (35,679 cases), vs 37% across all cases.

higher 34% of the time in this situation vs 37% across all cases here 34% · normal 37% higher 30 days later

79% below its high

79% below its all-time high. Coins that far below their high were higher 30 days later 38% of the time (124,083 cases), vs 37% across all cases.

higher 38% of the time in this situation vs 37% across all cases here 38% · normal 37% higher 30 days later
