Why Ethereum is down 1.2% in the last hour
Analysis
Ethereum (ETH) slipped ~1.2% over the past hour as traders likely cooled off after a sharp run-up that pushed BTC and ETH to multi-week highs, a move that also triggered heavy short liquidations and can be followed by quick profit-taking and mean reversion. Separately, a reported 18% jump in Ethereum open interest raised “bull trap” concerns, which may have encouraged short-term de-risking and added downside pressure.
