Guide: How to Use Token Unlocks in Your Strategy
What are Token Unlocks?
Crypto project tokens are often locked (vesting) for team, investors and partners. When the vesting period ends, these tokens are released — creating potential selling pressure, as recipients can sell on the market.
Cliff vs Linear
Cliff: Entire amount released at once — maximum price impact.Linear: Gradual release over weeks/months — diluted impact. High-value cliff unlocks are the most dangerous.
How to Trade?
Before the unlock: Consider reducing positions or opening short. The market usually anticipates selling pressure 3-7 days before.After the unlock: If the price already dropped, it may be a buying opportunity when selling pressure is exhausted.
Price Impact
Unlocks representing more than 5% of circulating supply tend to cause significant drops (5-20%). Unlocks for team/investors have a higher chance of selling than unlocks for ecosystem/staking.
