Ethereum traders reduce their bullish bets as ETH struggles reclaim $3K By Cointelegraph

Ether (ETH) is still in troubled waters after failing to break a five-week-long descending channel top for the third time in a row. The March 2 test of the $3,000 resistance was followed by a 17.5% correction in five days, which signals that buyers are somewhat reluctant to defend the price.

To date, Ether suffers from high network transaction fees, even though it dropped from $19 in mid-February to the current $13 per transaction. While this is less than peaks seen previously, $13 per transaction is still incompatible with most games, nonfungible token and even decentralized finance transactions.
