The past week has witnessed a downward trend for DYDX, with a decline exceeding 10%, and recent whale activity has contributed to this negative sentiment, especially following the token unlock event today.
A substantial amount of 150 million $DYDX ($505.5 million), constituting 81.63% of the circulating supply, was unlocked just hours ago. Among this, 83.19 million $DYDX ($280.35 million), equivalent to 46.15% of the circulating supply, was released to investors.

Additional movements involve golda.eth (0x6d0) selling 87,174 $DYDX for 280,829 $USDT, while Address 0xFAD sold 66,000 $DYDX for 210,173 $USDC, and Address 0x17b sold 75,000 $DYDX for 237,184 $USDC.
Traders are being advised to exercise caution, especially as supply on exchanges often indicates an intention to sell, while a decrease in supply off exchanges suggests an intent to hold.
Despite these developments, DYDX has experienced continued declines following the token unlock, with its current trading price at $3.05. The market remains dynamic, and investors are urged to stay vigilant amid these fluctuations.
