Why Ether is struggling to hold $3K as data tilts bearish

Ether price wobbled as weak onchain activity, low futures demand and aggressive selling by holders favored a potential ETH price drop to $2,300.
Ether (ETH) has oscillated around $3,000 for the past three weeks, a consolidation period following its flash crash to $2,620 on Nov. 21. Ether traders are now questioning the likelihood of a further correction if support at $2,800 is lost.
Key takeaways:
Ether slid below $3,000 again due to a lack of futures demand and aggressive selling by long-term holders.
