Why Ethereum is down 1.5% in the last hour
Analysis
Ethereum (ETH) slipped about 1.5% over the past hour amid broader quarter-end positioning, with Tom Lee attributing recent crypto weakness to “window dressing” flows that can pressure risk assets in the short term (CoinDesk). The dip came despite continued institutional accumulation signals, including Bitmine adding another $43 million of ETH (CoinDesk) and Sharplink reporting $62.4 million in ETH purchases last week (Cointelegraph), suggesting buying interest hasn’t fully offset near-term selling pressure.
