The altcoin market anticipates a potentially volatile week ahead, with token unlocks exceeding $250 million planned across sixteen different altcoins. Solana (SOL) and Dogecoin (DOGE) are particularly noteworthy due to their precarious positions from a technical analysis perspective. Solana is slated to unlock $61.83 million worth of SOL tokens, while Dogecoin will release $14.69 million worth of DOGE. These unlocks could intensify existing selling pressure in what is already a sensitive market environment, potentially impacting the valuation of both altcoins.

The Dogecoin Element

Dogecoin is currently oscillating around a critical support level of $0.145. Despite a slight short-term recovery, the price remains below the 50, 100, and 200-day exponential moving averages (EMAs), suggesting that the prevailing trend is not upward. The Relative Strength Index (RSI), currently at 31, indicates oversold conditions, raising the possibility of a technical bounce.

However, the impending unlock of 95.89 million DOGE tokens could be a decisive factor in Dogecoin’s delicate balance. Absent strong buying interest, this increased supply could push the token's price below its $0.145 support, potentially testing the $0.12 level. Ideally, investors would like to see a swift move above $0.18; failure to achieve this could lead to further depreciation.

Pressure on Solana

Solana is facing an even larger token unlock, with 465,770 SOL tokens, valued at $61.83 million, scheduled for release. This influx of supply presents a risk of further price declines for SOL. Currently trading around $134 and below the 200-day EMA, Solana is struggling to maintain support in the $130 region. With the RSI in the 30s and overall momentum weak, the altcoin appears particularly vulnerable.

If the $61 million worth of SOL enters the market and Solana fails to hold its current support, accelerated selling could occur. Technical analysis indicates that if SOL cannot rise strongly above the $150-155 range, it could potentially fall as low as $120. Such a decline would not only affect SOL but also contribute to broader negative sentiment within the altcoin market.

Furthermore, significant coin unlocks are expected throughout the week for other cryptocurrencies including BLASK, ACX, VENOM, SOON, ALT, WLD, TAO, TIA, AVAX, SUI, MORPHO, ETFI, DOT, IP, and JTO.
