I just reviewed recent important token unlock milestones and want to share a few points to keep in mind. Actually, these last weeks of the year are usually quite sensitive for the market, especially when moderate-scale unlocks occur.
Looking at the token unlock schedule during this period, there are a few notable points. SUI unlocks about 0.55% (~$79M USD) with the current price around 1.11, BEAT unlocks 2.12% (~$44M USD) — this rate is quite high relative to its scale, so BEAT holders should be cautious. ENA also has 0.63% unlocking, EIGEN about 2.07% — these figures aren't very large but still worth monitoring. KMNO and OP also have small unlocks around 2.2% and 0.75%.
In reality, this isn't a particularly heavy unlock week, but the issue is that liquidity is often thin at this time, and market sentiment tends to be conservative. I’ve noticed that when combining unlocks with weak market conditions, prices tend to react more strongly than usual. Unlocks don’t always lead to immediate dumps, but the risk definitely increases.
For short-term traders, it's best to avoid FOMO before these milestones. If you're holding long-term, see this as an opportunity to observe capital flows, to watch who is selling and who is absorbing. Ultimately, preserving capital remains the top priority right now.
