Why Cardano is down 1.9% today
Analysis
Cardano (ADA) slipped 1.9% over the past 24 hours as traders appeared to take a cautious stance despite protocol progress, with U.Today reporting a new smart contract release ahead of an intra-era hard fork—an update that can sometimes prompt “sell-the-news” positioning rather than immediate buying. Meanwhile, CryptoPotato’s comparative piece framing ADA among “undervalued” alts is more thematic than a clear catalyst, offering limited near-term support as broader altcoin sentiment remains mixed.
