Cardano joins altcoins to watch as it expands in Japan through a partnership with Pacific Meta to support local business adoption. ADA price dropped 4% on October 2nd, hitting $0.239 in one hourly candle. Technical indicators show RSI at 30.55 and Chaikin Money Flow at -0.10, signaling capital outflow. Open Interest fell to $258.6 million, with Funding Rate at -0.0103, favoring short sellers.

Is Cardano [ADA] an integral part of the big player story now? The answer is yes.

The Cardano Foundation recently announced Pacific Meta as an Enterprise Integration Partner in Japan, with the goal of helping Japanese companies figure out where Cardano can actually solve business problems and build solutions.

Under the arrangement, the two organizations will share responsibilities. The Foundation handles the infra and technical support. Pacific Meta takes care of the local side: understanding how Japanese enterprises operate, helping with go-to-market, and doing the hands-on systems integration.

AD

AMBCrypto previously reported that Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson expects Midnight [NIGHT] (the privacy-focused network), to become bigger than Zcash [ZEC].

The pitch here is selective privacy. The thing is, Hoskinson didn’t really say what “bigger” means here. Price? Market cap? Users? Network activity? It’s anyone’s guess.

ADA crypto price drops 4% as shorts take over

Has any of this done much for ADA’s price?

Cardano fell to $0.239 in a single hourly candle on the 2nd of October. That’s a reset of most of the day’s gains. Earlier, ADA tested at $0.26 before sellers pushed it back.

At press time, the RSI fell to 30.55, teetering at the edge of being oversold and well below its signal line at 51.59. The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) also dropped to -0.10; more capital is flowing out of ADA than coming in.

Open Interest fell to about $258.6 million after the drop; some traders closed their positions. Meanwhile, Funding Rate was at -0.0103, so short sellers are now paying to hold their bets against ADA.

A short-term bounce isn’t off the table. But for now, bears have the upper hand.


Final Summary

  • Cardano Foundation partners with Pacific Meta.
  • ADA price drops; funding is negative and shorts took control.
