Ether Falls Below $2,500 to $2,496 on Binance Spot Market

Ether (ETH) fell below $2,500 and traded at $2,496 at 4 a.m. ET (08:00 UTC) on Oct. 22, crossing the threshold after trading above it 15 minutes earlier.

An in-house collection of Binance spot prices placed ETH at $2,514 15 minutes before the $2,496 reading. The two observations bracket the move through $2,500: the earlier price was above that level, while the later price was below it on the same exchange.

At the time of the 4 a.m. observation, ETH was down 0.76% from one hour earlier. That percentage covers a full hour, while the comparison between $2,514 and $2,496 covers the final 15 minutes. The two figures therefore describe different time spans leading into the $2,496 reading.

Ether is the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. The Binance spot readings show it moving from above $2,500 to below that level within the observed 15-minute interval.
