A reminder to everyone, besides the market being quiet during Christmas week, there is also a storm of large unlocks brewing.

The four coins H, XPL, JUP, and SOON will be unlocked in phases this week, especially on December 25, when H and XPL will directly release over $150 million worth of tokens. Sounds like a big number? Actually, that's the problem — a large number of chips entering the market at the same time could immediately put pressure on the buy orders.

Low market cap projects are the most susceptible. In the case of insufficient liquidity, once a concentrated sell-off occurs, a rapid drop will happen. Many people like to chase at high positions, and at this time, they often become the last buyers. This is especially true for cryptocurrencies that have already experienced a round of increases; the risks must be doubled in attention.

How to proceed more cautiously? It's best to stay away before unlocking. Those who already have positions should consider reducing their holdings in phases and wait for the market to digest the selling pressure before making further decisions. Don't be tempted by the upward movement; sometimes the whales use positive news to offload their shares.

From my perspective, the concentrated unlocking combined with a sluggish holiday market will definitely exacerbate volatility in the short term. However, this also creates opportunities for truly good projects — undervalued coins that have been mistakenly sold off may actually present good value at this time. The key is to clearly distinguish which are the real projects and which are purely garbage.

Stay calm and don't let short-term fluctuations disrupt your strategy; there is still a long way to go in the year-end market.
