Cardano (ADA) had no problems pulling off a 5% spike in roughly 24 hours despite the delay of the Vasil Hard Fork upgrade. Analysts forecasted that the hard fork can help ease Cardano out of its bearish stance but it seems the coin didn’t struggle a bit despite the postponement.

Over the past 24 hours, Cardano’s value has jumped by 5% as it now trades at $0.58% in sync with the current crypto market price momentum. Over the past couple of weeks, ADA was seen to have fluctuated wildly as the coin’s being jerked sideways brought about by the mounting buying and selling pressure.

In all likelihood, ADA seems to be mirroring the current crypto market trends as it adds and shaves off value.

Vasil Hard Fork Moved For August Launch

Vasil Hard Fork was supposed to be launched in June and then moved to the end of July. However, IOG, Cardano developer, made some announcements that there will be some delays and the upgrade will be rolled out by August to give way to smooth transitions in networks.

According to Kevin Hammond, Technical Managerof IOHK, the purpose of the delay is to ensure that everyone is all set for the upgrade including API developers, stakeholders, and exchanges. This upgrade will set the stage allowing many developers to easily build on Cardano.

Still, ADA outlook remains to be optimistic as the network constantly works to improve the network. And this upgrade is expected to push the token up to its next target of $1. Everyone is banking on the likelihood that ADA price will spike once the upgrade is launched similar to what happens following upgrades on other DeFi tokens.

Cardano Unable To Keep Up With Strong Crypto Recovery?

Cardano has developed a strong community that supports the coin following the rollout of smart contacts. It’s only Achilles heel at this point would be the recent crashes that assailed ADA’s value.

Nevertheless, Cardano was able to muster an all-time high back in 2021 when the coin surged at $3.10 but it was a flash in a pan, as the price declined shortly.

The plunge continued yet stopped when ADA’s value hit $0.51 as it has been trending with the observation that it may not be able to keep up with the recovery that the crypto market is enjoying at the moment. And so, the bearish sentiment continued for ADA.

The CoinMarketCap community has predicted that Cardano will most likely trade at $0.7311 come August 31 of this year. Others forecast that ADA may surge by 19% in August.

They say journalists never truly clock out. But for Christian, that's not just a metaphor, it's a lifestyle. By day, he navigates the ever-shifting tides of the cryptocurrency market, wielding words like a seasoned editor and crafting articles that decipher the jargon for the masses. When the PC goes on hibernate mode, however, his pursuits take a more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical) turn.

Christian's journey with the written word began long before the age of Bitcoin. In the hallowed halls of academia, he honed his craft as a feature writer for his college paper. This early love for storytelling paved the way for a successful stint as an editor at a data engineering firm, where his first-month essay win funded a months-long supply of doggie and kitty treats – a testament to his dedication to his furry companions (more on that later).

Christian then roamed the world of journalism, working at newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He finally settled down at a local news giant in his hometown in the Philippines for a decade, becoming a total news junkie. But then, something new caught his eye: cryptocurrency. It was like a treasure hunt mixed with storytelling - right up his alley!

So, he landed a killer gig at NewsBTC, where he's one of the go-to guys for all things crypto. He breaks down this confusing stuff into bite-sized pieces, making it easy for anyone to understand (he salutes his management team for teaching him this skill).

Think Christian's all work and no play? Not a chance! When he's not at his computer, you'll find him indulging his passion for motorbikes. A true gearhead, Christian loves tinkering with his bike and savoring the joy of the open road on his 320-cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed demon who hit 120mph (a feat he vowed never to repeat), he now prefers leisurely rides along the coast, enjoying the wind in his thinning hair.

Speaking of chill, Christian's got a crew of furry friends waiting for him at home. Two cats and a dog. He swears cats are way smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but he adores them all anyway. Apparently, watching his pets just chillin’ helps him analyze and write meticulously formatted articles even better.

Here's the thing about this guy: He works a lot, but he keeps himself fueled by enough coffee to make it through the day - and some seriously delicious (Filipino) food. He says a delectable meal is the secret ingredient to a killer article. And after a long day of crypto crusading, he unwinds with some rum (mixed with milk) while watching slapstick movies.

Looking ahead, Christian sees a bright future with NewsBTC. He says he sees himself privileged to be part of an awesome organization, sharing his expertise and passion with a community he values, and fellow editors - and bosses - he deeply respects.

So, the next time you tread into the world of cryptocurrency, remember the man behind the words – the crypto crusader, the grease monkey, and the feline philosopher, all rolled into one.
