This post examines ADA/USD price and volume movement from Jan-01 to Feb-26.
The year starts with ADA around 0.1 USD. During the first week, strong buying pushes the price to 0.35 USD. In fact, a substantial amount of all the volume so far in 2021 occurred in the first week.
For the remainder of January, ADA trades sideways within a very narrow channel about 0.1 USD wide. There are several high-volume movements - on January 22 and January 29 - but these did not affect the price much.
In the first week of February, ADA begins to gain substantially on USD. It does not look like there's a lot of volume driving this gain.
By February 11, ADA is trading above 0.9 USD - and there is some moderate volume moving around 0.9 USD.
During the final week of February, ADA manages to stay above 0.9 USD, even as the price oscillates dramatically into the low 1 USD range.
