Ethereum Exit Queue Surges — Watch for Selling Pressure
I see the Ethereum PoS network showing a growing imbalance: exit requests near 818,000 ETH while new join requests are about 362,000 ETH. The exit queue outpaces joins by a wide margin, suggesting more validators want to leave than enter.
This divergence increases the risk of near-term selling pressure on staked ETH and could reflect waning confidence or reallocation of capital. The rise in joins does show some ongoing interest, but it currently isn’t enough to offset exits.
Analysis
Recommendation
I recommend monitoring the exit/join trend closely and avoiding initiating large long positions until exits normalize; consider reducing exposure or using hedges if already long.
