When Fujifilm starts to release more current gen models in the market later this year, can we expect the price of the used market to drop or normalize? Or are some of these older first & second gen cameras (X-Trans I & II) going to remain high because of the rarity of them?

It really depends.  I would think they are going up because Fuji's name is mentioned by influencers a lot.  Also, not being able to buy new cameras due to new cameras not being in stock has caused many older cameras to go up.  I think there will always be a few digital cameras that are considered classic and will maintain a higher price than they should, but I think if stores had stock of all of the latest cameras, I do not think we would have seen these price increases.  That said, these cameras are all pretty good still and maybe people are just realizing that.
