Ethereum fees at $0.02 for 3 weeks straight — is this bullish or bearish?

Gas fees on Ethereum mainnet have never been this low. 3-5 gwei on average. Two possible reads:Bullish readActivity is migrating to L2s (Base, Arbitrum, Optimism) which settle on L1. ETH remains the security layer, L2s pay. The ecosystem is expanding.Bearish readLess mainnet activity = less EIP-1559 burn = ETH becomes inflationary again. Net supply +0.3%/year currently.I'm long ETH but starting to doubt. Are L2s capturing value at the expense of L1?

On-chain analysis: Bitcoin whales have been quietly accumulating for 6 weeks

Glassnode data that nobody's looking at:Addresses >1000 BTC added 47,000 BTC in 6 weeksExchange reserves at their lowest since 2019MVRV ratio at 1.8 — historical accumulation zone, far from euphoria (>3.5)Hash rate at ATH despite the halving — miners aren't capitulatingPrice is stalling around $95K but smart money is buying. Distribution by retail, accumulation by institutions. This pattern preceded every major rally.
