### 4. *What’s Driving It*
- Profit-taking after the push to $5K.
- Broader crypto sentiment tied to Fed news and Bitcoin’s stalling near $111K-$113K.
- ETH still benefits from ongoing network activity and ETH burn from EIP-1559, which makes it deflationary when usage is high. dbbf
ETH is consolidating after a big run. If it holds $2,060 and BTC recovers, a retest of $2,200-$2,300 is likely.
