Why Ethereum is down 1.5% today

Analysis

Ethereum (ETH) slipped about 1.5% over the past 24 hours as volatility around new local peaks triggered heavy derivatives liquidations, which can exacerbate pullbacks after sharp moves. CryptoPotato reported liquidations topping $750M across major assets including ETH, suggesting leveraged positioning was being unwound and adding short-term selling pressure.
