The cryptocurrency market is currently experiencing a stagnant phase, with most altcoins not moving in a clear direction. The market showed little reaction to the July personal consumption expenditures (PCE) data released yesterday. Particularly, the July inflation data indicated that the price increase continued to slow down in line with the Federal Reserve’s 2% target. This situation raises the possibility of interest rate cuts in September.
Avoid These 3 Cryptocurrencies
Despite the potential for interest rate cuts, risky assets like cryptocurrencies remain stagnant. Bitcoin (BTC) continues to consolidate below the $60,000 resistance level. While the current situation may offer an investment opportunity, there are cryptocurrencies that investors should avoid trading due to the potential for increased volatility in the coming week. The first of these is Immutable.
The cryptocurrency Immutable (IMX) has shown resistance recently and increased by about 8% last month despite overall market fluctuations. However, with an upcoming token unlock on September 6, 2024, 32.47 million IMX will be released into the market. These tokens represent 2.06% of the cryptocurrency’s market value and are worth approximately $47.23 million. Although technical indicators mostly signal bullish for IMX, the increased supply due to the unlock could change sentiment and trigger new volatility.
Be Cautious with HFT and SUI
Altcoin Hashflow (HFT) is facing a similar situation. A token unlock is scheduled for September 7, 2024. 15.83 million HFT tokens will be released into the market. This release, representing 4.33% of the current market value, is worth approximately $2.27 million. Historically, tokens with significant unlocks like HFT often experience increased selling pressure. At the time of writing, Hashflow was trading at $0.14 and had dropped more than 23% in the last month.
The cryptocurrency Sui (SUI) is facing a token unlock on September 3, 2024. With the unlock, 83.88 million SUI will be released into the market. This release, representing 3.23% of the current market value, will be worth approximately $67.97 million. At the time of writing, SUI was trading at $0.81.
