Why Ethereum is down 1.6% in the last hour

Analysis

Ethereum (ETH) slipped 1.6% over the past hour as the market digested mixed macro and narrative headlines without an immediate bullish catalyst. While Decrypt reported Tom Lee’s BitMine made its biggest Ethereum buy yet in 2026, the move may have been treated as already priced in or insufficient to offset short-term selling pressure.
