Analysis
Ethereum (ETH) slipped about 1.1% over the past hour as markets digested a wave of forced unwinds following a sharp move to new local peaks. CryptoPotato reported liquidations topping $750M across majors including ETH, and this kind of leverage flush can trigger short-term pullbacks as positions are closed and volatility spikes.
