Trump’s win is viewed as bullish for the crypto market following his promise to foster a crypto-friendly business environment, boosting risk-on sentiment.
In addition to the political factors, the Federal Reserve’s decision to reduce interest cuts by 0.25% on Nov. 7 has added tailwinds to the crypto market as the Fed cites easing labor market conditions and increasing confidence that inflation is moving sustainably toward the 2% target.

Lower rates generally boost market liquidity and support asset valuations, creating a risk-on environment where investors seek higher returns, including crypto.
ADA sees a spike in funding rates
ADA’s bullish price action on Nov. 8 is preceded by a jump in open interest-weighted funding rate. The chart below shows that ADA’s 8-hour OI-weighted funding rate has increased to 0.0159% on Nov. 7, the highest since June 2024.
This suggests a high appetite for long positions as ADA’s price gained around 17% over the last 24 hours.

ADA’s rally on Nov. 8 was accompanied by short liquidations totaling $1.67 million against $247,484 in long liquidations, with that tally continuing at the time of publication.

In other words, short traders were caught off-guard by ADA’s rise to $0.438.
Cardano price more gains ahead
Cardano’s gains today are part of a technical rebound that started on Nov. 5. Notably, the latest rally has seen the layer-1 token break above its multimonth descending trendline resistance, as shown below.
ADA has witnessed various failed attempts to rise above this resistance, the most recent being its 32%-plus gains between Sept. 6 and Sept. 27, which was capped by sellers at $0.42.

As a result of this technical setup, the next logical target for ADA bulls will be the April 22 range high of $0.52, a 19% uptick from the current price.
