> The Binance spot reading was $2,250 15 minutes earlier, while Ether was up 0.32% over the prior hour.

Ether (ETH), the second-largest crypto asset by market capitalization, fell below $2,250 to $2,249 on Binance spot at 1:28 a.m. ET Friday, Oct. 30 (05:28 UTC).

Ether traded at $2,249 on Binance spot at that time. Ether was at $2,250 15 minutes earlier, making the latest reading $1 lower. Over the one-hour window, however, Ether was up 0.32%.

The readings use different baselines. The 15-minute comparison is the latest $2,249 price against the earlier $2,250 observation; the hourly percentage compares the latest reading with its value one hour before. The move below $2,250 and the positive 0.32% hourly change can both describe the market at once because they cover different periods.

Ether’s second-place market-cap ranking provides scale for the move: the price alert concerns one of the largest crypto assets by market value.
