Over the last seven days, SEI has moved within a $0.1241\u2013$0.1477 range and is now down 6.4% on the week.<\/p>\n<p>Even though prices have been sluggish, trading activity is picking up. Sei\u2019s (SEI) 24-hour volume jumped 21% to $48 million, indicating strong interest as the token tests support. Derivatives <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.coinglass.com\/currencies\/SEI\/futures\" target=\"_blank\">data<\/a> from CoinGlass shows futures volume jumping 41% to $125 million, while open interest fell 3.3% to $100 million.<\/p>\n<p>This mix often points to short-term traders increasing activity while positions are being closed, rather than fresh leverage building in one clear direction.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Token unlock could add pressure to Sei price<\/h2>\n<p>A new event could put further pressure on the token. According to Tokenomist <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/tokenomist.ai\/sei-network\" target=\"_blank\">data<\/a>, 55.56 million SEI tokens, worth about $6.94 million, are set to unlock on Dec. 15. The release amounts to about 1.08% of the circulating supply, although the team has yet to confirm the final details. <\/p>\n<p>In the past, such unlock events have often added short-term pressure, as newly available tokens can trigger extra selling, especially when prices are already on a downward trend.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<p>Despite the cautious tone, Sei has seen several developments that continue to shape its longer-term narrative. Last week, the project announced a partnership with Xiaomi that would see a Sei-powered wallet and stablecoin finance app pre-installed on select smartphones sold outside China and the United States starting in 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Canary Capital has updated its filing for a staked SEI exchange-traded fund following regulator feedback, keeping the path to institutional exposure open for next year. Activity on-chain is also picking up, with decentralized exchanges and perpetual markets seeing more movement.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sei price technical analysis<\/h2>\n<p>From a technical perspective, SEI remains in a clear medium-term downtrend. Price has continued to post lower highs and lower lows since the sharp breakdown from the $0.28\u2013$0.30 zone. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sei daily chart. Credit: crypto.news<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The price is bouncing between $0.12 and $0.13 in recent candles, suggesting that selling pressure has subsided. Although there is some relief from this sideways movement, the trend hasn\u2019t shifted decisively.<\/p>\n<p>The Bollinger Bands significantly widened during the sell-off, indicating the extreme volatility that drove down prices. Since then, the bands have started to get narrower, which indicates a decrease in volatility. The price is now moving close to the middle Bollinger Band.<\/p>\n<p>This shows that buyers are attempting to stabilize the market, yet they haven\u2019t gained full control. The 20-day moving average has been keeping each rebound in check, acting as a clear barrier for now.<\/p>\n<p>Volume confirms this picture. The biggest spike happened with the breakdown candle, marking a period of heavy selling. Following that, trading has been more uneven and subdued, indicating reluctance on both sides.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The relative strength index sits around 40. It has been climbing from oversold levels near 30, suggesting that downward momentum is slowing rather than gaining strength.<\/p>\n<p>If SEI loses the $0.12 support on a daily close, downside risk could open toward deeper lows as the unlock adds pressure. On the other hand, a sustained move above the 20-day average, supported by rising volume, would ease bearish control and allow a short-term recovery to develop despite the supply overhang.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sei price is consolidating near the $0.12 level as traders brace for a $7 million token unlock and watch for signs of a short-term price shift.
