Why Ethereum is down 6.2% today

Analysis

Ethereum (ETH) fell 6.2% over the past 24 hours amid broad, risk-off selling across crypto over the weekend, with reports noting roughly $200B wiped from the total market as major coins slid in tandem. At the same time, AMBCrypto highlighted β€œFTX-era” liquidation stress and signs of deleveraging in ETH markets, which can amplify downside as forced selling accelerates.
