As Bitcoin returns to the $90,000 mark and the cryptocurrency market consolidates overall, Ethereum (ETH) has shown an independent downward trend. According to market data, the ETH price has broken below the key psychological level of $3,100 today, currently reported at $3,072.81, with a 24-hour decline of 2.75%. This drop has significantly weakened its performance compared to most mainstream assets during the same period.

Market analysis suggests that the weakness of ETH mainly stems from a recent "finality delay" technical issue on its network, where some transaction confirmations take hours, raising concerns among investors about the network's stability. This issue has shaken the confidence of some investors in Ethereum as the most stable and reliable trading network, leading to capital outflows.
