THIS WEEK 190 MILLION DOLLARS IN TOKENS ARE BEING UNLOCKED AND THIS IS NOT A SMALL EVENT.
This week nearly 190 million dollars worth of tokens are entering the market. Whenever such a large amount of new supply appears within a few days it almost always affects short term price behavior even for strong projects.
The main focus is on SUI where almost 79 million dollars worth of tokens are being unlocked. On paper this is only about 1.5 percent of its market cap but markets do not move on percentages alone. They move on psychology liquidity and trader positioning. Such a large supply creates pressure and traders feel it.
After SUI we see BEAT with about 44 million dollars unlocking and ENA with roughly 20 million dollars. BEAT is especially sensitive because this unlock is more than 15 percent of its market cap which means even small selling can cause sharp price swings. ENA has a smaller percentage unlock but it is still large enough to create volatility.
Weeks like this often produce messy price action. Traders usually build short positions before the unlock. Long positions get shaken out and emotional decisions appear on both sides. Once the unlock happens and the new supply is absorbed the market usually becomes calmer.
For short term traders this is a week for discipline and risk management not for chasing every move. For long term investors these periods often offer the best opportunities to build positions in strong projects at better prices.
Token unlocks do not change the future of a project but they definitely change the mood of the market. And this week the mood is cautious. #CryptoNews #CryptoMarketPrediction
