EIGEN Token Facing Sell-Off Pressure Amid Large Unlock
EIGEN's recent performance shows signs of weakness. The token dropped 4.28% over the last 24 hours, lagging behind the broader market which fell just 1.06%. Despite a positive momentum over the past week, near-term headwinds are building.
Two key factors are weighing on EIGEN right now. First, a substantial token unlock is flooding the market—36.8 million tokens worth roughly $14.4 million hitting circulation. That's classic unlock pressure playing out: fresh supply typically triggers selling from early holders and market makers hedging exposure.
Second, Bitcoin dominance has climbed to 59%, which tends to drain capital from altcoins. When BTC dominance runs this high, traders rotate funds back into the flagship asset, leaving projects like EIGEN vulnerable to outflows.
The combination creates a tough near-term setup. Traders watching EIGEN should monitor if support holds or if this dip extends further.

Another large unlock coming, things just got worse... BTC bloodsucking at 59%, altcoins have no way out.

Oh no, it's the old routine of large unlocks again. Should have known it would turn out this way.
Bitcoin dominance skyrocketed to 59%, small coins are cooling off. This wave of chopping leeks really is clever.
Can EIGEN hold its bottom this time? Feels uncertain.
36 million tokens poured in, market makers must be crying...
This is the true portrayal of unlock season, nothing new.

It's another unlock and dump. I should have known better than to touch it.

Once again, it's the big unlock causing trouble, the old tricks in the crypto world... When BTC is sucking blood, small coins have no way out.

It's the same old trick again, large unlocks dumping, BTC bleeding, and EIGEN caught in the crossfire.
