Unfortunately we are in a situation where ETH will not recover all by itself, people do have a "free market" situation where as long as you keep paying tons of money for transactions, you will keep increasing the price as well, and people are idiots who accept paying more than needed instead of waiting so the price keeps going higher and higher, or there are rich people who do not care about whats going on as well.

It means in the end we are living in a free world where people are free to spend 200$ on transactions if they want to, and that is not going to solve the problem, they are not going to just suddenly say "if we all stop for a while, the price will drop again" and this is why someone else has to take control of this. That is where eip 1559 comes into play and by this July it will be cheaper again and ETH will be just few dollars to move money around.
