The token has moved within a $1.61\u2013$2.05 range in the last seven days, holding near the lower end as traders prepare for its next major event.<\/p>\n<p>LayerZero\u2019s (ZRO) 24-hour spot volume rose to $51.17 million, a 174% jump from the previous day, showing a sudden rise in trading activity. In derivatives, trading volume climbed 180% to $81.25 million, while open interest grew 14.5% to $53.29 million, according to CoinGlass <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.coinglass.com\/currencies\/ZRO\/futures\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">data<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The rise in open interest means more traders are taking new positions, often a sign that markets are bracing for sharper moves once the unlock goes live.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ZRO token unlock could add short-term pressure<\/h2>\n<p>Data from Tokenomist shows that 25.71 million ZRO, worth about $44.22 million, will <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/tokenomist.ai\/layerzero\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">unlock<\/a> on Oct. 20, representing roughly 7.9% of the circulating supply. So far, only 33% of ZRO\u2019s total supply has been released, which means this round could create some short-term selling pressure.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<p>Even so, ongoing developments could help balance the market. LayerZero has recently expanded to Sui (SUI) Network, Starknet (STRK), and Agora AUSD, connecting to over $90 billion in liquidity. These launches tend to boost ZRO\u2019s trading volume in the following weeks. The project\u2019s Stargate V2 bridge is also allocating half of its fees to ZRO buybacks.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">LayerZero price technical analysis<\/h2>\n<p>ZRO shows poor short-term momentum on the daily chart, trading below all of the major moving averages. The relative strength index is close to oversold territory at 39, indicating that a possible bounce in the token may be imminent.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">LayerZero daily chart.
