Bearish
Large token unlocks significantly increase circulating supply, often triggering selling pressure. Historically, major unlocks like GT’s have led to short-term price dips when recipients liquidate holdings. The $116 million GT release alone adds 5.42% to its circulating supply at once. High-percentage unlocks in HUMA (30.93%), ORDER (17.74%) and SOPH (14.73%) further amplify potential volatility. In the short term, demand may struggle to absorb this influx, resulting in bearish pressure. Established platforms like Gate.io could absorb part of the supply, providing some support, but traders should brace for downward moves around unlock dates. Long-term impact depends on project fundamentals and broader market sentiment. Monitoring trading volume and price action will be key.
