Will Altcoins Crash Now?
Large token unlocks can exert downward pressure on prices when the newly available supply is sold into the market. While in some cases these events are anticipated and priced in, the immediate effect can be bearish.
Projects with high-percentage unlocks, such as LAYEY and CYBER, are particularly vulnerable to sharp declines.
Big names like SOL, FTN, and WLD could see increased trading volumes, making them the top crypto to buy in current conditions.
Analyst Darkfost noted last week that mid- and small-cap tokens are currently showing the weakest performance of the cycle relative to Bitcoin BTC $119 979 24h volatility: 1.2% Market cap: $2.39 T Vol. 24h: $53.50 B .
❌The altseason hasn’t really started yet.
Looking at this chart comparing BTC, large caps (top 20), and mid/small caps, we are currently seeing the weakest altcoin performance of this cycle.
The strongest move, which looked more like a "true" altseason, happened in early 2024… pic.twitter.com/pS3AFrwZTJ

His chart showed that the last strong altseason occurred in early 2024, when these tokens briefly outperformed BTC. Since then, each peak has been weaker, indicating declining momentum.

With over $650 million worth of tokens entering circulation this week, the added supply could dampen any immediate rally attempts .
