Investor Strategy for Token Unlock Volatility
The emissions trend suggests that investors should pay close attention to these unlocks, as they can affect both price and trading strategies.
Historically, large unlocks have caused short-term volatility, with traders changing their positions based on anticipated sell-offs and market absorption capacity.
The current sectoral shifts show that projects with strong fundamentals will likely handle the liquidity surge better than speculative plays.
