The Ethereum Network’s gas fees are at a six-month low, despite a jump in Ether price over the weekend. The combination of both indicates a potential rally may be coming sooner for ETH than expected. The average fee for an Ethereum translation fell as low as $1.12 on April 27, according to Santiment on X.“Traders historically move between sentimental cycles of feeling that crypto is going ‘To the Moon’ or feeling that ‘It Is Dead’, which can be observed through transaction fees,” Santiment wrote in the post.
