Next week, the crypto market will be quite eventful. Starting from January 13th, popular tokens like CHEEL, CONX, ARB, and TRUMP will undergo large-scale unlocks one after another. The most noteworthy is TRUMP — on January 18th at 8:00 AM, 50 million tokens will be unlocked, accounting for nearly 12% of its circulating supply, with a value of up to $271 million. Meme tokens are inherently known for their volatility, and such a large unlock and release can be expected to exert short-term selling pressure. Historical experience shows that many similar tokens have experienced significant technical corrections after major unlocks.

Another detail that is easily overlooked is that the unlock scale of DBR on the 17th is actually more aggressive, with 618 million tokens released, accounting for 14.81% of the circulating supply, even exceeding TRUMP’s dilution. Although the per-token value is low, this concentrated release at such a scale could still trigger chain reactions of selling. In comparison, tokens like ARB and SEI have unlock proportions that are less eye-catching, but simultaneous unlocks by multiple large holders can also have a significant impact on market liquidity.

However, unlocks themselves do not necessarily mean negative signals. The key lies in who holds these tokens — if they are mainly long-term holders, the market impact will be limited; but if early investors are releasing large quantities, short-term pressure is unavoidable. My advice is to focus on tokens with unlock proportions exceeding 5% and plan risk management strategies in advance. After all, this wave of unlocks next week will reveal which tokens can withstand liquidity tests and which may follow the trend for adjustments. Let’s wait and see.

CHEEL-0,98%

ARB-3,45%

TRUMP-3,23%

DBR-7,17%

If I had known Trump was going to unlock this much, I really shouldn't have bought in...

TRUMP's 12% really could cause a dump, and it will be another bloodbath. This is the first time I've noticed DBR's data, 14.81% is really fierce, even more aggressive than TRUMP. Unlocking doesn't necessarily mean bad news, that's true, but we all know that early investors in this circle usually can't wait, so they'll still dump when the time comes. Pay close attention to anything above 5%, this suggestion is reliable. I've already listed it out, just waiting to see who can hold up next week. MEME coins are inherently fragile, and this wave will probably cut another wave of leeks. The real disgusting part is the simultaneous unlocking of multiple tokens, which directly evaporates liquidity, and there's no way to escape when the time comes. Honestly, compared to TRUMP, I'm more worried about the release of low-priced, large-volume tokens like DBR, which can silently cause a dump. I'm already mentally prepared for the show on the 18th at 8 o'clock, ready to take the hit. Although the unlocking ratio for ARB isn't exaggerated, if it moves together with the trend-followers, it could be quite risky. The real test is who can hold on without selling. If long-term holders really lie flat, the market impact won't be significant. Next week, the entire crypto space will be holding back, waiting for this wave of chip releases and turbulence to pass.

It's the unlocking season again. Will TRUMP's 50 million coins really crash the market this time? Who knows. DBR's scale is even more formidable; this is the first time I've noticed it, with a 14.81% dilution... feels easy to forget. Long-term holders' chips are completely different from those released by early investors, and that's correct. Next week, those holding more than 5% need to stay vigilant; it feels like a change is coming. It's hard to say which will break first—TRUMP, DBR, or ARB. Let's wait and see. Unlocking isn't necessarily a bad thing; the key is who is selling. That's the core issue. This set of arguments seems to be validated every time in historical experience, but this time might be different... Liquidity is now under test; let's see who can withstand it.

Once again, the unlocks are coming one after another. My wallet is feeling very exhausted. This wave of DBR at 14.81%, even more fierce than TRUMP? It all depends on who is dumping. Early players sell out, and small investors get wiped out. Anything over 5% must be watched closely, or else next week you'll be caught in a trap again. That 50 million TRUMP tokens, worth 271 million USD, is just hanging over our heads. Meme coins are basically casinos, and this time it's even more outrageous. The key still depends on who holds the chips. Whether long-term holders sell or not, early investors are the ones with the knives. It's just history repeating itself. After the big unlock, a correction is inevitable. This rule hasn't changed, and this time it won't be any different. Next week, it's best to cut losses. Instead of betting on whether it can withstand, it's better to get out early. Really. The hardest part is when liquidity dries up. Multiple coins dump at the same time, and then you can't even run. Let's wait and see which coin can survive and come out alive. The others will probably need to adjust.

Here comes another unlocking event, this time is DBR more fierce than TRUMP? Is it true or false --- TRUMP's 12% sounds scary, but DBR's 14.81% is the real killer. Did anyone notice this detail? --- Wait, unlocking doesn't necessarily mean a drop. It depends on who holds the chips. Long-term holders can just hold on without issue. --- Next week might be a bloodbath, with ARB and SEI unlocking together. Can the market liquidity handle it? --- Pay close attention to those above 5%. This is a key tip—be sure to have a stop-loss plan in advance. --- DBR is the dark knight. Although the price is low, its large volume means the chain reaction will be hard to withstand. --- This week, a rain of unlockings. Is a technical correction already inevitable? Will history really repeat itself? --- Seeing TRUMP rise so fiercely, I should have expected an unlocking event. Now it's a bit late to react.

ngl, the TRUMP unlock timing seems almost too predictable—like, have we learned nothing from previous dumps? fundamentally speaking, what matters here is holder composition, not just the raw numbers. my students always miss this nuance. anyway, gonna short the obvious plays and wait for the actual capitulation 🍿

Another wave of big unlocks, I bet DBR will dump first.

Next week there's going to be another bloodbath. DBR and TRUMP, these two stupid things are going to dump together. I bet five cents it's going to drop. Seriously, they say this every time before unlock, and yet a bunch of people still take the bait. I'm speechless. ARB, this old scam stock probably going to play dead again. Anyway, I've already seen through it all. I'll just sit and watch the show on the morning of the 18th at 8 AM. Maybe there will be a surprise, who knows? If it actually holds up this time, I'd be shocked. The historical precedent is right there in front of us.
