Unlock schedules dem mainly dey act as short-term catalyst for liquidity and possible sell pressure. For SUI and SIGN, di article highlight say wetin don unlock big relative to their released supply (1.08% for SUI, 20.78% for SIGN), we fit raise di chance for intraday volatility around di unlock dates. But overall impact on price direction no clear one side: JUP unlock small relative to im released supply (1.53%), and wetin market go do depend on whether dem go sell di unlocked tokens sharp sharp or demand go soak am up.
For medium term, long-term effect dey less certain because token unlocks dey scheduled and people sabi am before; traders normally don price those expectations earlier. With plenty projects wey dey unlock too (OP, TREE, ZORA, plus others), correlation effects fit amplify volatility for the wider market, but that no mean say e go guarantee steady bullish or bearish trend specifically for SUI, JUP, or SIGN. Overall, di most evidence-based stance na neutral—expect event-driven volatility rather than a directional outcome.
