Deep Dive
1. Token Unlock Pressure (Bearish Impact)
Overview: A $716,190 ACE unlock (2% of supply) occurred on September 14, 2025, as part of scheduled vesting for team/investors (Millionero). Approximately 51% of ACE’s max supply is now circulating, up from ~15% at launch.
What this means: Unlocks often trigger selling pressure if recipients liquidate holdings, especially in low-volume markets. ACE’s 24h volume fell 56% to $35.2M ahead of the unlock, amplifying price sensitivity.
What to look out for: Next unlocks in Q4 2025 and vesting schedules through 2027.
2. Technical Resistance (Mixed Impact)
Overview: ACE faces resistance at its 7-day SMA ($0.6277) and pivot point ($0.6284). The MACD histogram remains positive (+0.0169), but RSI 14 (54.45) shows neutral momentum.
What this means: Short-term traders may be taking profits after ACE’s 14% weekly rally, while the lack of bullish momentum above key levels suggests consolidation. A close below the 30-day SMA ($0.5519) could signal deeper correction risks.
3. Altcoin Sentiment Divergence (Neutral Impact)
Overview: The CMC Altcoin Season Index rose 63% in 30 days, but ACE’s 24h drop contrasts with the trend. Bitcoin dominance held steady at 57.37%, indicating muted rotation into smaller caps.
What this means: ACE’s GameFi niche may lack immediate catalysts compared to narratives like AI or RWA. Mixed reviews of Fusionist’s Steam/Epic launch (Millionero) highlight dependence on sustained player engagement for token utility.
Conclusion
ACE’s dip reflects a combination of token unlock anxiety, technical profit-taking, and lagging altcoin momentum. While its deflationary token model (biweekly burns) and Binance backing provide long-term support, short-term risks center on unlock-driven liquidity shifts.
Key watch: Can ACE hold the $0.58 Fibonacci support (38.2% retracement level) to avoid a retest of September lows?
