Why Cardano is down 1.9% today

Analysis

Cardano (ADA) slipped 1.9% over the past 24 hours as traders digested the rollout of a major protocol hard fork, which can trigger short-term “sell-the-news” positioning even when the upgrade is viewed positively. U.Today reported that the hard fork was going live (and separately that it was set to go live within hours), keeping attention on near-term execution risk and post-upgrade follow-through rather than longer-term fundamentals.
