Why Ethereum is down 1.3% in the last hour
Analysis
Ethereum (ETH) dipped 1.3% over the past hour as traders appeared to take profits amid mixed near-term signals: despite ongoing accumulation headlines like Bitmine’s purchase of another 12,532 ETH, the market didn’t sustain upside momentum in the very short term. At the same time, broader market softness—highlighted by BTC sliding—likely weighed on sentiment even as ETH was described as a relative “crowd favorite.” A longer-term supportive development (Interactive Brokers expanding Ethereum staking via Zerohash) may not have been enough to offset immediate selling pressure within the hour.
