Cardano (ADA) has experienced a tough 2023, posting a limited +50% recovery, with Hoskinson's pet project struggling to keep pace with rivals such as Solana (up +110% this year) - many are wondering if it's too late for this once high-flying network.
The 7th biggest cryptocurrency is currently trading at $0.39 (a 24 hour change of -0.18%) as consolidation seems set to form a bullish double-bottomed pattern on the daily chart.
This comes following a -15% retracement from local top at $0.46 on April 15.

The MACD provides a degree of confirmation to this idea, signalling minor bearish divergence at -0.0026.
With price action attempting a retest of the MA 20 on the STF, Cardano is facing a make-or-break moment pushing up to $0.425 (+7.76%) would see ADA regain bullish technical structure.
However, rejection here could send ADA tumbling to a lower level of support around $0.35 (-11.3%).
This leaves Cardano (ADA) with a difficult outlook, as the Risk: Reward ratio sits unfavourably low at 0.69.
