ETH Falls Below $2,400, Down 4.53% on the Day

A 4.53% single-day slide through $2,400 is less about the level itself than about the momentum signal it sends for the second-largest crypto asset, which often sets the tone for the broader altcoin complex. The move matters most for traders holding leveraged ether positions and for token issuers who benchmark treasury or collateral values against ETH. With the item offering no stated catalyst, the open question is whether this proves a routine intraday dip or the start of a deeper repricing; follow-through in the next session, and whether the level holds as resistance or support, is what's worth watching.
