Recruiter didn’t get back to me after I counter offered

Context:
They gave me the offer literally right after the final interview, apparently was a strong hire( according to the recruiter)
They accepted my base salary expectations and added 10k signon
Then sent me the benefits doc, I went through the benefits and noticed benefits are way lower than my current benefits. Discussed it and they asked for my explanation to 100% accept the offer I countered with 60k more than the initial expectations .
I countered on Friday and still haven’t heard back.
Are they walking away? My counter was too high or it’s a normal process? Like they want to hold me up in the air?

They can still come back but it's not looking good.
I think the issue was asking for 60k more but the reason being benefits, not another offer or something more concrete.
They should’ve just said “no, this is the final offer.” It’s also only been like 2 days, just wait a few more before panicking.
