Whale Accumulation Sparks Potential Breakout for ONDO, Analysts Predict 47% Price Surge

Increased interest in Ondo Finance’s native token, $ONDO, has manifested in the form of both large-scale investors and savvy traders making strategic moves in the anticipation of a breakout.

Over the past day, optimism about a near-term price move has intensified as whale activity with notable purchases and accumulated positions by other traders have surfaced. Analysts are now giving their take on Ondo’s prospects, with the general consensus being that ONDO is nearing a key technical level where a breakout could yield a price surge of up to 47%.

Whale Activity and Investor Sentiment

One of the most significant occurrences in the ONDO market over the last 24 hours is the purchase of 349.9K $ONDO ($365.8K) by a whale known as 0x9fc1. This large-scale purchase indicates strong bullish sentiment from this high-net-worth individual, suggesting at least a potential shift in market dynamics. Notably, this whale has been accumulating $ONDO since February 15 and now holds a total of 1.11 million $ONDO tokens, worth around $1.08 million.

The fact that the accumulation is happening at this level points to the likelihood that the whale expects prices to rise appreciably in the future. If ONDO can reach and sustain values above certain key resistance levels, it seems that it could be in for some significant price gains. Whale behavior functions as a kind of organic price forecasting, and if any entity is likely to know what’s coming next in the price chart, it’s a whale.

Not only did we see the whale activity, but we also saw another notable participant, Smart Trader 0xbf0b, make a strategic investment in $ONDO. This trader purchased 28.6K $ONDO ($30K) in the past 24 hours. Even though this amount is smaller when compared to the whale’s purchase, it is still significant, especially given the trader’s past success. Previously, Smart Trader 0xbf0b made a notable $107.6K (+65%) profit from trading $TRUMP and $14K (+162%) from $CRV. These past gains demonstrate the trader’s ability to identify promising opportunities, which further makes us confident in ONDO’s potential for growth.

Technical Analysis Signals Potential Breakout

In addition to the big buying, technical analysts are seeing something rather enticing in terms of favorable formations and indicators for ONDO that suggest it could very well be on the verge of a worthwhile breakout. Prominent analyst Ali Martinez surmises that ONDO is extremely close to executing a 47% price move given that it looks set to break out from a descending triangle formation. This formation is one of the most commonly recognized — and lucrative — bullish formations technically. Hearing prominent analysts talk about ONDO in this way only heightens its allure.

In addition, the TD Sequential indicator, which identifies market trends and potential reversals, is showing multiple buy signals on the 4-hour chart for ONDO. This indicator has been a reliable predictor of price movements in the past, and its current bullish signals suggest that ONDO could move upward in the near future. Whales have been accumulating ONDO. They are not the only large investors who have been buying the token, though. Recent reports have indicated that hedge funds and other institutional investors have also been investing in ONDO. The combination of these large purchases, the bullish price structure, and the current buy signals from key indicators have led many analysts to believe that a sharp price move is coming soon for ONDO.

Market Sentiment and the Future of ONDO

ONDO’s price isn’t just being pushed up by technicals; it’s also being driven by investor interest in the project. Ondo Finance is a DeFi platform offering up all kinds of innovative financial products. And its native token, $ONDO, is at the center of all these operations. The DeFi space is growing by leaps and bounds, and attracting all kinds of institutional interest. So tokens like $ONDO (which actually offers some utility) and is backed by a bunch of large investors and traders, seems to me anyway as being well-positioned for long-term success.

Obtain whale accumulation continuously climbing, along with whale accumulation = good guys. Accumulation = price go up. Accumulation guys show they’re bullish. They’re buying this token.

Whales are divers. They have lots of space (i.e., room to invest). If they’re investing, it means this guy could haul away and disappear (in a good way, by going up) and become an “increasing visibility and adoption” story.

Yet, any cryptocurrency carries intrinsic risks, and the market can shift fast. This is especially true for traders who are basing their decisions on what might seem like obvious setups. If you view the current price action through the lens of a descending triangle, the easy trade to see is going short if and when we break down below the triangle. But what if we don’t? What if the price breaks the pattern to the upside instead? Here’s what can happen, and why if we don’t break down, we could be headed toward a period of consolidation or correction.

Conclusion

The recent smart money inflow and whale investments into $ONDO, along with favorable technical setups, have created the conditions for what could be a breakout event. Analysts expect the price to move 47% as the token nears an important resistance point. With ONDO approaching this key level, both institutional and retail watchers are eyeing the market for what could be the start of a nice, juicy rally for a relatively new token. Whether this breakout occurs or not will likely be determined over the next several days.
