Why traders care Token unlocks increase available supply and can coincide with selling by recipients or portfolio rebalancing, creating short-term downward pressure and heightened volatility. The magnitude of any market impact depends on recipients’ behavior, existing liquidity and current token prices — so estimated values and overall figures may shift with market moves and data sources. Bottom line SUI, JUP and SIGN dominate this week’s calendar and could influence short-term market dynamics. Traders and market makers will be monitoring on-chain flows and order-book activity as these allocations hit wallets. Read more AI-generated news on: undefined/news
