Why Ethereum is down 1.0% in the last hour
Analysis
Ethereum (ETH) slipped about 1.0% over the past hour as derivatives positioning looked increasingly stretched, with ETH open interest nearing an all-time high while the spot-to-futures ratio hit a record low. This setup can amplify downside moves as leveraged traders de-risk or get liquidated when price dips.
