Ethereum’s Exciting Gold Rush with a Wodehousian Twist! 😂

by

The Ethereum network, which has recently been looking like a jittery dowager trying to escape a social faux pas, is showing signs of stabilizing. After a relentless three-month spell of ETHs slipping like unset flatirons through fingers-posting countless exit tickets-the entry queue is now pushing forward with a vim and vigor that puts even the most enthusiastic debutantes at a garden party to shame.

What does this artful handoff from exit to entry mean for ETH‘s price? We seek guidance from the oracle-like analysts who, as one might expect, are neck-deep in charts and jottings, each with a magnifying glass to their eyes, trying to decipher the tea leaves and crypto leaves alike.

The Elusive Pleasure of Doubling ‘When’ Unstaking Pressure Weakens

The intricate ballet of Ethereum’s entry and exit queues is indeed a sight to behold. Our plucky analysts once feared that an ever-thickening entry queue would spell doom-there was talk of uncovering pressure that might cause a sort of Great Wobble in price. Oh my! But how the tides have turned. ValidatorQueue data now toast to the triumph of entry overtaking exit since the memorable tenth of September.

I daresay we’re witnessing approximately 745,600 ETHs, likened to suave suitor ants at a summer ball, waiting in the entry queue, while a more modest group of about 360,500 ETHs remains in the exit ritual. It’s a game-changing twist that could make even Bertie Wooster’s hair stand on end (at least metaphorically; you can’t actually get a wire brush through social standings).

An analyst by the majestic moniker of CryptoHuntz described the preceding period as nothing less than the famous “Great Migration” of ETHs, akin to a skirmish at a diplomatic gala, that brought a considerable dip in price from a soaring $4,800 to what seems nowadays the humble $3,000.

“The Great Migration is over… finally, the selling pressure from the last three months is drying up. Demand to enter ETH staking is back in the driver’s seat. Nature is healing,” CryptoHuntz spiritedly noted.

Enter Abdul, Head of DeFi at Monad, bearing good tidings. Drawing from the annals of history, he suggested that Ethereum’s exit queue might play out its end act by New Year’s Day. Abdul pointed, quite rightly, to the instance of June as a harbinger of good fortune; at that point, the entry queue had managed a rather impressive coup-ETH promptly doubled in price shortly after.

Update:

ETH validator entry queue is now bigger than the exit queue, for the first time in six months

The last time this happened in June, ETH doubled in price shortly after

Thus, one can’t help cheering for the aforementioned comeback narrative. The situation gets spruced up a bit more by the choice of Tom Lee, chairman of BitMine-ethical encryption hotshot and the proprietor of the world’s most significant ETH treasury, no less. BitMine has decided to dabble in staking their token treasure, like a shrewd investor eying a promising Jazz club, with a stately 74,880 ETH.

But does all this culminate in a cheerful change of seasons? One can’t be completely certain. Several omens remain, with disheartening signals suggesting US investors still harbor some exit strategies. It’s all very well, but one should hang on to one’s hat, as it’s still too soon for a parade through the meadows and meadows alone!
