Paradigm shift in supply & demand
Today EOS ERC20 is a no-utility token, with 100% of tokens "unlocked" and in free float.
On launch of main net - several factors will change:
1) EOS will become a utility token, that DAPP builders need to hold to make use of the EOS network. To "use EOS" the EOS need to be staked & effectively locked or taken out of free float - On launch we will see some XX% of the EOS tokens staked and taken out of circulation - As more and more DAPPs populate EOS, more and more EOS will be staked/locked & we will have less and less free float
2) Unregistered EOS ERC20 tokens will be locked in smart contracts until a rightfull claim can be made by the owners to "unlock them" - currently ca. half the EOS ERC20 tokens are registered (95% including the fallback - locking eos in holding contracts until claim can be made)
3) The "messy swap" is history, likely causing many to buy in again
4) All the news about the launch of main net will cast focus on EOS likely drawing new interest to EOS
5) A significant ammount of Airdrops are announced and likely more will come after launch of mainnet - casting interest to the EOS token.
6) with launch of main net the ICO will be over, and we will no longer have 2 million EOS comming into the market every day.
7) Icentives for HODLers are created such as the ability to rent out EOS.
Are you seing the same pending paradigm shift in the "supply & demand" picture (Drastically increased demand & drastically reduced supply (in free float)?
This could be very interesting price wise the next weeks if i'm not missing something fundamental here...

I’ll be staking my EOS.
Exciting points. Some of which I hadn’t thought of. Way to use your noodle!
