$MERL December Unlock Wave Incoming, Watch Out for This Selling Pressure

This month won't be calm for MERL holders. Nearly 70 million tokens will be unlocked throughout December, and it's not a slow release—they'll hit the market on a few concentrated dates.

The timing is very tight.

On the 12th, 15th, 16th, and 19th, within just over a week, this batch of tokens will enter circulation. The problem is, the current token price is already weak, and with such a large increase in supply all of a sudden, can the buy side handle it?

The market fears supply-demand imbalance the most. 70 million tokens may sound like just a number, but when it hits actual trading depth, it's enough to cause significant volatility. Especially those early participants receiving unlocked allocations—how will they act? It’s unlikely they’ll hold onto everything.

Such concentrated unlock periods have always been price-sensitive times. It doesn't necessarily mean a crash is coming, but if your risk appetite is low, you definitely need to stay alert during this stage.
