Ethereum$ETH has slipped by around 1.5% over the past 24 hours, and the decline comes at a time when institutional investors appear to be pulling capital from the market.

One of the main concerns is the growing selling pressure. Ongoing $ETH sales linked to Vitalik Buterin, combined with noticeable institutional outflows, are adding weight to the bearish narrative. When large holders and institutions reduce exposure, it often weakens short-term confidence and increases downside risk.

From a technical perspective, the chart structure also leans negative. Indicators such as the RSI remain in a weak zone, while the MACD continues to show bearish momentum. This suggests that sellers are still in control and that the market hasn’t yet established a clear reversal signal.

On top of that, broader market uncertainty is adding to the cautious sentiment. Prediction markets are pricing in higher macroeconomic risk, and there’s a growing probability that #ETH could see further downside before any meaningful recovery begins.
