Ether withdrawals begin to outpace deposits as the Shapella upgrade takes off, but ETH price continues to show strength.
For a brief moment on April 12, when Shapella was activated, the deposits to ETH staking contracts outpaced withdrawals. However, deposits have slowed down come April 13 while the withdrawals are going strong.The validators are required to update their staking software clients with withdrawal credentials changed to 0x01 from 0x00 and point to a valid Ethereum address. Once validators do that, the partial withdrawals, i.e. the withdrawals of rewards above 32 ETH, will be processed automatically.
Additionally, 875,325 ETH worth $1.85 billion are waiting for full exit. Adding to the amount already processed in the first 40 hours, over 1.42 million ETH will be withdrawn from the staking contract. However, the above statistics must be taken with a grain of salt because 62.8% are forced withdrawals from the U.S.-based crypto exchange Kraken in response to awith the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission to discontinue staking services.
Currently, 9.6 million staked ETH is in profits, which will remain most vulnerable to a sell-off. It also remains to be seen if more illiquid stakers move to withdraw their ETH, with over 34% deposited by them of the 17.4 million deposited in total.Technically, the ETH/USD pair looks bullish, having broken above the $2,000 resistance level. Buyers will look to target the support and resistance levels around $2,300 and the May 2022 breakdown levels at around $2,900.
