Such pressure could incite a drop that continues its monthly losses of more than 17%. Moreover, it could have the asset falling below the psychological $0.50 level with which it has matinainted for weeks. In response to the impending event, XRP has seen its trading volumes surge almost 30%.

All of those represent massive volatility for the asset. Yet, the biggest question pertains to whether or not the fears will manifest for investors. The presence of the unlock has many worries, but its routine nature may have it already priced into the market.

Only time will tell, but the reality is that May has not arrived with much optimism for a plethora of tokens. Moreover, the market sentiment could increase volatility for investors and showcase a much more unpredictable market overall.
