This week, the market is expecting a liquidity influx of over $650,000,000. But remember: not every unlock means a dip. It's crucial to understand who is receiving the tokens and what percentage that is of the actual circulation.
Here's a detailed breakdown:
1️⃣ Sui ($SUI ) — A stress test for the institutions
📅 Date: May 1 | 💰 Amount: $40.39 million (1.08% turnover)
📊 Analysis: The majority of the release (19.32 million SUI) is going to Series B round investors.
Market logic: Since these are big players, they're unlikely to 'dump' everything on the market with a single order. Such unlocks often come with a local 'pump' before the date, allowing investors to exit at a better price.
Advice: If SUI holds the support zone around $0.90, this unlock will go unnoticed.
2️⃣ Jupiter ($JUP ) — Psychological pressure from the Solana community
📅 Date: April 28 | 💰 Amount: $9.77 million (1.53% turnover)
📊 Analysis: 72% of the release goes to the team.
Market logic: An amount of $10 million for JUP is relatively small compared to the daily trading volume (which often exceeds $100 million). The main risk here is not the team’s selling, but the panic of retail traders who will see unlock notifications on trackers.
Advice: Use potential volatility for short-term speculation, but fundamentally the project remains strong.
3️⃣ Sign ($SIGN ) — ⚠️ Critical inflation (High Risk)
📅 Date: April 28 | 💰 Amount: $7.05 million (20.78% turnover)
📊 Analysis: This is the most dangerous event of the week. The release of 1/5 of all tokens on the market in one day is a huge stress for the price.
Market logic: 150 million tokens are going to 'community incentives'. This is the fastest cash that usually goes straight into stablecoins. With such low capitalization ($35 million), the market may simply not withstand the selling pressure.
Advice: Be extremely cautious. Going long before this volume unlock is a very risky idea.
📉 Overall conclusion:
When you see an unlock of over 5-10% (like in SIGN), the price usually reacts negatively. However, for giants like SUI or Optimism (OP), where the release is around 1%, the market often perceives this as 'white noise'.
💡 PRO-tip: Keep an eye on funding rates for futures. If they're heavily negative a day before the unlock — the market has already priced in a drop, and a 'short squeeze' (sharp rise contrary to expectations) may occur.
📊 Poll:
Which token from the list do you think is the most 'solid' and ready for a rise despite the unlock?
1️⃣ SUI — I believe in Layer-1 🚀
2️⃣ JUP — the Solana ecosystem will endure 💪
3️⃣ SIGN — I will buy at the very bottom 📉
