Why Ethereum is down 1.6% today

Analysis

Ethereum (ETH) slipped 1.6% over the past 24 hours as the broader market’s recovery looked shaky, with Bitcoin’s rebound stalling near $72K—often a headwind for ETH’s short-term momentum despite it recently reclaiming the $2K area. At the same time, multiple reports highlighted heavy whale accumulation and “pivoting” into ETH, but those inflows didn’t translate into immediate upside, suggesting buying interest was offset by broader risk-off pressure and profit-taking.
