Why Ethereum is down 2.9% today
Analysis
Ethereum fell 2.9% over the past 24 hours as the market digested selling pressure headlines, including The Block’s report that Vitalik Buterin’s ETH sales reached $35 million, exceeding the planned 16,384 ETH allocation. At the same time, Decrypt noted a broader market rebound led by Bitcoin near $69K that liquidated shorts, which can leave ETH lagging or choppy as positioning resets rather than sustaining a clean upside move.
