The fuss around the Ethereum is pure speculation and crypto market traders don't want to be on another side of the market while the price of Ethereum keeps declining. The gas fees can be monitored with various sites and after checking the average gas fee you can set the right amount of the GWEI in order to accelerate your Ethereum transactions speed. The pending transactions are higher than an average day in the recent market crash and it will hold its status for a long time in my opinion.
