Exalts/Eternal price drop

Every day I check prices of those 2 orbs, and they're dropping their value since about a week.

Eternals went from 3ex to 2ex per each, and offers like 10ex for 5 eternals are common on trade channels.

Exalts dropped from 30 chaos to 25-24 yesterday (from 30 last week, and even 50 in Anarchy), and it looks like the drop continues.

I wonder if it's because of

"

The Anarchy and Onslaught leagues end in just less than two days. We've previously posted information about what happens when they end here. We'll be deploying a patch just after that time which will adjust some drop rates, rebalance Rogue Exiles, and other follow-on effects from the leagues ending.

which didn't occure yet (but some people still remember it), or from other reasons.

the leagues merged but currency wasn't wiped wich mean more currency wich obviously mean that it won't be as valueble

Because chaos orbs are the bases of progression in the form of re-rolling awful forced mazed maps.
Anyone who grinded maps could tell you this weeks ago.

Chaos orbs have a more effective sink than exalts.

It is commonly know from a long time, does not explain last week's price drop by 20-30%. This drop could be made by speculants with tons of currency starting feeling that it's safer and better to store wealth in commonly used and rather static value Chaoses, or Ex/Et just went to the same boat that GPCs did, when people realised they're highly overvalued.

They also drop more common, it's not that issue.

Regrets went down too, but it's obvious because of free skill tree respec incoming.
Fuses went down obviously because of fusing probability changes from one of the last announcements.

Looks like Chaos orb is gonna to be will be a safe haven now (what an irony considering the name).

I am wondering how you didnt notice until now that currencies rate are fully manipulated by RMT sites... That's why exalt:chaos rate is regulary moving between 1:25 and 1:50.
