Why Ethereum is down 1.9% today

Analysis

Ethereum (ETH) fell 1.9% over the past 24 hours amid broader weekend crypto weakness, as reports noted roughly $200B in market value was wiped out while major assets including BTC, ETH, and XRP sold off (CryptoPotato). Separately, AMBCrypto highlighted elevated liquidation stress and potential deleveraging dynamics reminiscent of prior high-volatility periods, which can add downside pressure as leveraged positions unwind.
