📉 ETH at $3,300, but the sentiment remains bearish: what's the problem?
These sentiments are confirmed by the options market. The put option premium ( exceeds the call option premium ), indicating caution.
The chart shows blockchain activity over the past 30 days, and here’s what we see for Ethereum: – active addresses +53% – transactions +28% – fees –31%
In other words, network usage has increased, but payments have decreased.
Why is this a problem for ETH: • Part of Ethereum’s fees are burned • Fewer fees = less ETH leaving circulation • Less burning = weaker price support • Staking becomes less attractive
What else is putting pressure on the market: • Weak institutional demand • Inflows into ETH-ETF are minimal • Activity in dApps and meme coins has decreased
Ethereum is alive and in use, but the network economy is currently not working to drive the price up.
