Why Ethereum is down 1.4% in the last hour
Analysis
Ethereum (ETH) slipped 1.4% over the past hour as broader market risk-off moves triggered heavy derivatives unwinds, with reports of roughly $700M in crypto liquidations as BTC and ETH sold off ahead of the FOMC (CryptoPotato). Sentiment also faced pressure from a security-focused headline noting Ethereum led crypto hack losses in H1 2026, which can weigh on near-term confidence even without a new incident (Cointelegraph).
