Cardano(ADA)remains one of the cryptocurrency market’s notable players despite the token being on the brink of falling out of the top ten digital assets by market cap.
In the last 24 hours, the cryptocurrency has gained 3.34%, presently priced at $0.342. Cardano has shown a modest recovery following some recent downward pressure having lost 11% over the past week.

In spite of its 24-hour gains the DeFi token is trading below its 200-day simple moving average (SMA), a key indicator often seen as a gauge of long-term market trends and one that, in its current position, suggests a prevailing bearish sentiment.

Technological Cardano developments
However, despite the bearish ADA price market dynamics, Cardano is on the brink of a significant technological milestone with the near completion of its Node Version 9.1.0 upgrade. Now 70% complete, this update is crucial for the anticipated Chang hard fork, a major network upgrade that promises to enhance Cardano’s on-chain decision-making capabilities.
At 70% of Cardano’s validators or Stake Pool Operators (SPOs) update to the new node, the Chang hard fork will move forward, potentially reshaping the network’s future and price performance.
