Last 12 Hours for OP Token Unlock

Optimism, a Layer-2 scaling solution, will release tokens worth $34.79 million with the token unlock event scheduled for tomorrow.
The amount of tokens that will be unlocked in the event, which will take place tomorrow (August 30) at 07:00 AM, corresponds to 3.4% of the total supply of OP tokens. As the event approaches, investors eagerly await the token unlock, and at the time of writing, OP token is trading at $1.43.
OP Chart Analysis
The channel formation that has been ongoing since the middle of June on the 4-hour chart continues after a bear trap. It remains a matter of curiosity how the token unlock will affect the price, which is currently at a critical point. It is worth mentioning that there is an expectation of selling and a potential price increase after the token unlock.
The support levels that need to be considered for OP are respectively $1.38, $1.17, and $1.04. Especially the $1.38 level should be closely monitored as it is both a channel formation and a previously tested support. The resistance levels that need to be monitored for OP are respectively $1.63, $1.81, and $2.05. The $1.63 level is significant as it is above the 4-hour EMA 200 average, and if the $2.05 level is broken, the channel formation will work, leading to a significant price increase.
