Low sell pressure from insiders. Formula: 35% insider unlocked share (cap 30% of circ) + 25% unlocks next 30d (cap 20%) + 20% days of volume of next unlock (cap 10) + 10% last-round ROI multiple (5x = max) + 10% DEX liquidity vs market cap (0.5% = min).

What it means for a trade

The next tranche equals 0.04 days of average volume; the last disclosed round is under water, which weakens the incentive to sell.
