In an interesting move, Cardano (ADA) has rebounded by almost 4% in the past 24 hours, in what seems to be an uptick in activity among large ADA holders. The price of ADA started the week on a bearish note and spent the majority of the week trending downwards. Particularly, the ADA price fell by about 9.5% to bottom out at $0.33260. However, the crypto has rebounded and has increased by about 6% from this low.

A huge part of these transactions were recorded in the past three days, with $6 billion movements coming on October 11 and $5.8 billion on October 10.
