The Ethereum validator exit queue peaked at just over 1 million ETH on Friday as the asset maintained its price gains, and selling pressure and profit-taking increased.<\/p>\n
This is only natural, considering that Ether has more than doubled in price in a little over two months after spending a couple of years in the doldrums.<\/p>\n
The big increase in the exit queue led to a lot of FUD about a massive Ether sell-off and price crash, but this is largely unfounded because the entry queue for staking has also surged.<\/p>\n
The entry queue hit its highest level since 2023 on Sunday at 787,255 ETH worth around $3.4 billion, according<\/a> to ValidatorQueue.<\/p>\n Forget the ETH unstaking FUD.<\/p>\n Entry queue just hit 787k ETH ($3.5B). Recent highs!

Probably much more,\u201d because Wall Street needs it for decentralized rails. He also said that Ether will flip Bitcoin as the monetary base.<\/p>\n No such bullishness is happening at the moment on spot markets as weak retail hands continue to sell, sending the asset down 1.4% on the day as it trades at $4,380.<\/p>\n Ether has now retreated almost 12% from its peak of $4,950 a week ago, but remains within its range-bound channel that formed three weeks ago when the asset broke above $4,000.<\/p>\n Analysts are still confident that Ether has a long way to go in this bull run despite it stalling at current levels.<\/p>\n ETHEREUM IS TRACKING GLOBAL LIQUIDITY<\/p>\n Accumulation is done.
