Cardano’s total value locked dropped close to 30% in June, sliding from $129 million to $92 million — a fall that closely tracks ADA’s own price decline of 27% over the same stretch. Yet one platform inside the ecosystem is pushing back hard against the idea that the network is finished. DexHunter, a Cardano-based DEX aggregator, took to X to argue that the blockchain is more alive than ever, citing a sharp spike in trading activity as proof that user engagement remains strong despite ADA’s price weakness. Related Reading: Security Milestone: XRP Lending Protocol Completes Military-Grade Assessment A Surge, Then A Pullback Daily DEX trading volume on Cardano shot up from roughly 6 million ADA to 25 million ADA across four days, one of the steepest volume increases in recent months. DexHunter attributed that spike to heavy trading in tokens including NIGHT, STRIKE, and SNEK, as well as stablecoins such as USDCx. Volume has since retreated to around 7.45 million ADA, down 11% in the most recent 24-hour period. They say: Cardano is dead We say: Cardano is more alive than ever$STRIKE$ASCEND$ATLAS$SURF$SURGE The ecosystem is exploding???? pic.twitter.com/aCp8D80jAv — DexHunter ???? (@DexHunterIO) June 6, 2026 Alongside the volume data, DexHunter shared charts tracking the performance of several Cardano-native tokens. ATLAS rose 18% in a single day. STRIKE gained 3%. ASCEND added 1.20%. SURF was the exception, falling 2.67% during the same window. Based on that activity, DexHunter declared the ecosystem is exploding. Broader Headwinds Weigh On The Network The platform’s upbeat take comes against a backdrop of mounting pressure on Cardano. ADA hit a multi-year low of $0.14 earlier this year, and a string of setbacks has fed speculation about the network’s long-term prospects. Analytics platform TapTools shut down. A major ecosystem contributor exited after declaring bankruptcy. Input Output CEO Charles Hoskinson stepped back from public engagement for a period, and governance disputes have continued to draw criticism from within the community. Against all of that, DexHunter maintains the underlying activity tells a different story — one of continued user participation even as ADA’s market performance has disappointed. Related Reading: A 400 Billion Shiba Inu Surprise: Whale Wallet Springs Back To Life Signs Of Life In A Difficult Market ADA was trading at around $0.16 at the time of writing, still deep in the red compared to levels seen earlier this year. Whether the recent volume spike reflects a genuine shift in momentum or a short-term burst driven by a handful of tokens remains an open question. What the data does show is that trading activity on Cardano’s decentralized exchange layer is still moving, even if the numbers have pulled back from their recent peak.

Bitcoin’s crash over the weekend has brought the $60,000 level back into the market conversation, but crypto analyst Merlijn The Trader believes the real opportunity may come at a lower price. Technical analysis comparing the current Bitcoin structure with the 2022 Wyckoff accumulation phase shows that buying the current bounce would be a costly mistake because the real accumulation window has not even opened yet. Bitcoin’s Wyckoff Setup Points Below $60,000 To understand where Merlijn The Trader believes Bitcoin is headed, it helps to understand where it has been. Merlijn’s analysis is built around the Wyckoff accumulation model, using Bitcoin’s 2022 bottoming structure as the reference point. Back in that cycle, Bitcoin formed a spring around $15,500, recovered into the $23,000 region, where eager buyers rushed in, believing the worst was over. However, it was not. The price action then delivered a secondary wave of selling that crushed late buyers before the genuine markup phase began. Related Reading: Analyst Charts Ethereum Long-Term Roadmap To $16,000 – There’s No Need To Panic The analyst believes the 2026 structure is developing in a similar way. His chart shows Bitcoin currently trading around the same stage where the market previously moved through a sign of strength, lost momentum, and later dropped into the spring phase. The important message is that any bounce from the current region may not be the point where traders should become aggressive on their buying. Another important message from the analysis is that the $60,000 level may be misleading. Bitcoin fell below that level during the recent selloff, and it is important as a support because it is close to the 200-week moving average. Bitcoin Price Chart. Source: @MerlijnTrader On X The DCA Zone That Could Matter Most The Wyckoff setup by Merlijn identifies five phases: Phase A stops the downtrend via a selling climax, Phase B builds the cause as institutions accumulate within the range, Phase C delivers the spring, which is a final shakeout below support, Phase D marks up within the range with a last point of support and a sign of strength, and Phase E is the breakout and uptrend. Related Reading: Bad News For Bitcoin: Historical Lows Show The Bottom Actually Lies Below $30,000 Merlijn’s chart places Bitcoin inside this structure in 2026, with the Spring phase still ahead. The analyst’s projection is that a Spring to $50,000 is incoming, followed by a bounce rally to the $65,000-$70,000 range. That bounce, he warns, will once again lure in bulls who will buy into what appears to be a recovery, the same trap that caught investors in 2023. Merlijn places Bitcoin’s dollar-cost averaging zone between $48,000 and $59,000. This range is the part of the chart where he expects the better long-term entries to appear. Therefore patience is required, and the conclusion is that the best time to begin buying Bitcoin may come when fear is strongest inside the $48,000 to $59,000 range, not when it produces its first bounce back above $70,000. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $62,891.
