Why Cardano is down 1.6% today
Analysis
Cardano (ADA) slipped 1.6% over the past 24 hours as market participants digested mixed narratives: U.Today reported a new smart contract release ahead of an intra-era hard fork, but the update may not have provided an immediate catalyst for short-term buying. Meanwhile, CryptoPotato’s comparative piece on whether ADA is “undervalued” versus other alts framed the story more as a longer-term upside debate than a near-term driver, offering little support against broader selling pressure.
