On-chain analytics firm Santiment reports that leveraged short positions for various cryptocurrencies have increased significantly recently. They note that altcoins are increasingly showing signs of over-shorting and negative funding rates, suggesting a short liquidation that could lead to a price spike.

This is possible given that when BTC starts propelling the market higher, altcoins that liquidate significantly in the near term tend to use those liquidations as bullish catalysts.

ADA peaked at $1.64 on Jan. 18 amid optimism about the Cardano blockchain. The price was rejected and then fell, fueled by a sell-off in the market.

However, ADA fundamentals remain quite strong as Santiment reports that the Cardano blockchain is actively developing and increasing daily active addresses (DAA).

DAA is a useful metric for tracking network activity over time. In general, a growing DAA signals greater blockchain usage, while a declining indicator indicates less demand for the network. This metric tends to correlate with price activity. As a result, the DAA can often act as a precursor to price action.
