XPL's recent performance has been quite surprising, with a rather aggressive trend. Not withdrawing sell orders earlier was indeed a bit regrettable, but looking at the order book is quite interesting—when buy orders flood in, the price tends to fall; conversely, when no one is buying, support becomes particularly strong.

From a short-term perspective, this coin should mainly be traded with quick in and out moves. The reason is straightforward: nearly ninety million tokens are unlocked every month. With this scale in the market, it’s quite difficult to stabilize the price.

In the long run, unless XPL can capture enough market share in the stablecoin payment sector—at least over half—continuous unlocking pressure will remain, making it hard to sustain a lasting increase in price. That’s why projects like this should keep their cycles short and wait until the wind turns.

XPL-7,94%

900 million unlock amount, who can withstand this? It will inevitably lead to a dump sooner or later.

Damn, it's the same trick again. Buying in actually causes the price to drop? Clearly, someone is playing psychological warfare on this level. It's driving me crazy.

With a monthly unlock volume of 90 million, it has to be released regardless of how strong the market is. --- Buyers come in and it drops? How weak is this order book? --- Instead of waiting for the stablecoin track, it's better to quickly enter and exit for short-term trading. --- Not canceling sell orders is really uncomfortable, but in the long run, XPL still seems uncertain. --- Trying to stabilize the price under this unlocking pressure? Haha, you're overthinking, brother. --- Market share over half? First, digest the unlocking volume before talking. --- There are still short-term opportunities, just don't think about bottom fishing. --- With a volume of 90 million per month, going long really means betting that XPL can dominate the payments sector in the future. --- This logic in the order book is a bit counterintuitive; the less people want it, the more it holds firm. --- Once the hype passes, it immediately reverts to its true nature; that's just how these coins are.

Hey, wait a minute, buying pressure increases but the price still drops? Is this market playing us? Unlocking ninety million tokens per month—who can withstand that? Short-term happiness might be more realistic. Unless XPL can really capture half of the stablecoin market, just wait for the unlocks to hit and crush the price. Quick in and out within a month, wait until the hype dies down—long-term holding is too risky. These kinds of projects are best seen as cash-grab activities; cashing out is the way to go.

If I had known yesterday, I would have cleared everything. Now it's a bit awkward. It's actually stable when no one is buying, but it drops when people buy? This market makes no sense. With 90 million tokens unlocking every month, it's a miracle if it can hold up. A short-term leek harvest machine, waiting to be diluted in the long run—that's the fate of XPL. Unless it can truly rank in the top three in the payment sector, sooner or later it will be a mess again.

90 million unlock amount, this really is a curse --- Buying in causes it to fall instead, this order book is toxic --- Quick in and out is the right way, don't think about holding this thing long-term --- Unless you seize half of the market, otherwise the unlocking pressure will eventually crush it --- If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have added to my position out of impulse; this unlock amount is truly incredible --- Seeing it rise makes me want to buy more, but then it gets hammered down again, a typical retail mentality --- The competition in the stablecoin payment track is so intense, how can XPL surpass half? --- This is the fate of short-term speculative coins; once the hype is over, everything is gone

90 million tokens unlocked monthly? How does this thing burn? Seeing buying pressure every day but the price still drops, it's really absurd. I'll pass on short-term trades and wait for the right opportunity. The XPL track is too competitive; without at least half the market share, you're just doomed to be cut down. The logic of the order book is reversed; it's really off the charts. With nearly 10,000 tokens unlocked each month, it's no wonder the price can't stay stable.
