<a href="https://x.com/Token_Unlocks/status/1839222035672871373" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Historical data</a> compiled by Token Unlocks revealed that some tokens had extreme price movements, with $PENDLE and $ENA experiencing the largest price fluctuations. $PENDLE experienced the largest positive price movement last year, with a 234% increase.&nbsp; 
The price increment occurred while the token only unlocked 4.2% of its total supply. The Token Unlocks report implied that the price increment attested to $PENDLE’s strong position in the crypto market, backed up by strong market confidence in the project.&nbsp;&nbsp; 
Conversely, the $ENA token experienced the largest negative price movement over the last year. The analysis revealed that $ENA’s price fell by 66.73% while only 2.9% of its supply was unlocked. According to the report, the decrease in the price of $ENA illustrates the volatile nature of token releases.&nbsp; 
The $RPL and $OSMO tokens also recorded significant negative price changes of -63% and -62%, respectively. $RPL and $OSMO had 4.3% and 4.9% of their respective supplies unlocked, respectively. 
Also, $LDO’s price dropped by -52%, while $BAL dropped by -54.5%. $LDO and $BAL, respectively, had 0.009% and 6.5% of their total supply unlocked. The price drop came about despite the tokens having a very limited amount available to the public.&nbsp;

Several tokens released over the last year had moderate price movements following unlocks. Tokens such as $AAVE experienced a 44% price gain after its unlock. The $AAVE token achieved this milestone with only 2% of its total supply in circulation. According to the report, the token’s price gain reflected its demand in the market. The high demand may have offset any downward pressure.&nbsp; 
$MASK had a similar moderate price movement, with a 35% price increase and 2.9% of its total supply. According to the report, $MASK and $AAVE’s price movements reflected investor confidence in their long-term value, keeping price volatility in check.&nbsp; 
Token Unlocks urged investors to consider other influential factors, such as timing, supply, and demand, in predicting token prices, adding that these factors make predicting future outcomes difficult.
