Kaito [KAITO] has been declining over the past few days. The asset has lost roughly 57% of its accumulated gains over the past week, a trend it has continued over the past day as it lost another 11% as of writing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Notably, this downward performance, which has lasted more than a week, has been whale-driven.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The whale retail delta remained around 0.242 on the chart, as whales possibly consider the asset overvalued and are selling it until it finds fair value.<\/span><\/p>\n

Token unlock could have incentivized selling<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

A token unlock, a periodic event where more of an asset\u2019s supply is released to the market to facilitate certain activities, including development and community benefits, is set to happen for Kaito.<\/span><\/p>\n

The next token unlock is scheduled for the 20th of August, with 32.6 million KAITO tokens set to be released to the market, representing 3.26% of the token\u2019s total supply.<\/span><\/p>\n

Usually, when demand remains limited following an asset\u2019s token unlock, its price tends to decline notably. A similar scenario could be the case for KAITO, especially as sentiment across the crypto market remains broadly bearish.<\/span><\/p>\n

The assumption is that investors are selling their KAITO holdings ahead of the unlock to avoid absorbing larger losses after the unlock. <\/span>The token holders chart has remained largely flat over the past week, implying that few new holders have entered the market to purchase KAITO.<\/span><\/p>\n

Likewise, this confirms that whales are not completely selling their KAITO holdings but are instead selling a portion of their wallets, possibly to maintain exposure to the asset.<\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s a warning for KAITO bulls<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Perpetual market data shows a clear warning for traders who remain bullish despite the overwhelming bearish dominance in the market: trade with caution.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is based on liquidation data, which points to a growing disparity between short and long positions. At the time of writing, the gap between the losses of these two groups of traders had widened to a 21-fold difference.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Liquidation<\/a>
Source: CoinGlass<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Long positions recorded total liquidations of roughly $767,190, while short positions saw losses of $35,340. A gap of this size suggests that optimistic traders may need to exercise caution before betting long on the asset.<\/span><\/p>\n

For now, traders should treat the market with caution if they expect to take long positions.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Final Summary<\/h2>\n
    \n
  • Kaito has lost another 11% in the past day as whale selling continues to weigh on the asset.<\/span><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n
    • The upcoming 32.6M KAITO token unlock could add further selling pressure as market sentiment remains bearish.<\/span><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
