The recovery of Cardano’s price seems to be fuelled by institutional interest, as per a recent technical analysis by a pseudonymous TradingView analyst, ‘Risk_Adj_Return.’ Despite ADA’s previous performance slump, signs of recovery are now visible. This unexpected bullish shift has led to speculation about a potential surge to $1.7.

The analyst’s report suggests that several elements are driving ADA’s recovery. Notwithstanding its downtrend, substantial spot purchases hint at increasing interest from institutional investors. The analyst also pointed out that political happenings involving key figures like former US President Donald Trump might kindle further bullish sentiment for Cardano.

Even though many institutional buy-ins for Cardano have been succeeded by sell-offs, possibly from short-term traders, the sheer volume indicates that major players are keeping a close eye on the market. This renewed institutional interest is partly credited to the actions of the US Federal Reserve (FED) and broader macroeconomic signals.

Investors might be anticipating a change in monetary policy or clear signs of decreasing inflation in the forthcoming FOMC meeting, as these changes could enhance risk assets like ADA. Any synchronization between Cardano’s price action and the FED’s decision could be a major catalyst for upward momentum.

Despite these promising signs, ADA’s breakout potential is still hampered by macroeconomic uncertainty. The ongoing US-China trade war continues to cause market volatility, posing challenges for a prolonged rally. The current market decline and instability spurred by this trade war have kept many investors on the fence as they wait for stability.

Over the past two weeks, the crypto market has seen tumultuous conditions amidst an uncertain political environment. “The abrupt price fluctuation signifies this turbulence,” observes Glassnode in a research note issued in March.

Bitcoin’s realized volatility, a metric for daily price fluctuations, has recorded some of the highest values in this cycle, exceeding 80% on one- and two-week timeframes, as per Glassnode. The average true range (ATR) of the digital currency, a different volatility indicator, has reached a cycle peak of over 4,900, a significant increase from around 3,000 in late February, as indicated by TradingView data.

As of March 5, Bitcoin has witnessed almost a 30% slump from its December highs of approximately $109,000, the highest spot price ever recorded for the cryptocurrency. Altcoins, including Ether and Solana, have also suffered, dropping more than 50% from their highs, reports Glassnode.

On March 4, President Trump introduced a 25% tariff against major trade partners, Canada and Mexico. This bearish news came as a surprise for traders who were optimistic following Trump’s announcement on March 2 about the creation of a US crypto reserve featuring tokens like BTC, ETH, XRP, and Cardano.

Consequently, Bitcoin’s price fell to about $82,000 from a high of around $93,000 on March 3, according to Google Finance data. Other altcoins like ETH and SOL experienced even steeper drops, falling approximately 12% and 20% respectively.

The recent sell-off indicates that macroeconomic factors could potentially overshadow positive developments in the crypto industry, such as the dismissal of several lawsuits against crypto firms by the US Securities and Exchange Commission in February.

On March 4, cryptocurrency derivatives traders faced more than $1 billion in liquidations due to the extremely volatile spot prices.
