Ministerial Instructions respecting invitations to apply for permanent residence under the Express Entry system – February 5, 2020
The positive thing is that the pace of new candidates having 450+ has been slowed down. Previously the number of candidates entering the pool was higher than the draw size and that was the major factor pool size kept on increasing despite frequent draws.
Stay positive and hope we will see the score in 460s in March and April.

No, dude. It has not slowed down at all. 3061 candidates either joined or increased their score to a minimum of 472 (but not more than 600) since last draw. The number of candidates with scores above 451 but below 470 doesn't matter as they will be stuck until the 470+ (472 to be precise) are cleared out. Think about this, 3061 candidates had scores higher than 472 and they all were probably new.

Do you know it was much more during the past few months? At least we have reached the breakeven point where the number of high scoring candidates is adding up at the same pace as the number of ITAs. If this reduction will continue, you will see the score dropping down in the future.
I am maintaining the pool count since October 19 and I am pretty sure about my calculations.
Further, I am an Accountant with hands-on exposure to number crunching.

It's simple math. There were 10k candidates in the pool with 450+ score in Ocotber. Pool size of 450+ increased from 10k to 20k because the inflow of applicants was more than the ITAs issued, however, if you see the pool table of last two draws, there is roughly a change of 100 candidates in 450+ tier which means that almost 3500 profiles are added in between the two draws. If the pace further slows down and the number of ITAs remain same, CRS is bound to drop in the future.

Really? 2622 candidates had a score of 471 and above (but less than 600) in the last draw (136th, Jan 22)
2833 candidates had a score of 473 and above (but less than 600) in the draw before that (135th, Jan 08)
Only 2760 candidates had a score of 469 and above (but less than 600) in the 134th draw (Dec 19, 2019)
Tell me, how was this number much higher during the past few months? The number for 136th draw dropped a bit, but spiked back up to 3061 candidates having score better than 472 but less than 600. Tell me how this is a positive thing. When the cut-off goes up, it is always a bad sign for candidates waiting in the pool for quite some time. It usually means newer candidates are getting higher scores.
