Highlights

Worldcoin increased circulating supply and trading activity through the unlocking of 69 million WLD tokens set for September 7, 2026.
Eightco Holdings holds about 302 million WLD tokens, making up 29% of its treasury and reflecting notable institutional participation.
WLD trades with strong bullish technical momentum, an expected range of $0.4386 to $0.4958, and a very high probability of further upward movement.

Trading surge and volatility rise as token unlock fuels liquidity

Worldcoin's recent performance is primarily driven by the unlocking of 69 million WLD tokens on September 7, 2026, a move that significantly increased the circulating supply and heightened market activity, according to Headtopics and Diariobitcoin. The token unlock contributed to a substantial surge in trading volumes and open interest, both of which exceeded 30-day averages as reported by Diariobitcoin, amplifying liquidity and volatility in the market. In addition, data from Techedgeai highlighted that Eightco Holdings maintains a treasury balance of nearly 302 million WLD tokens, or roughly 29% of its digital asset holdings, underscoring notable institutional involvement in the asset.

Mixed technical signals persist amid upside bias and elevated volatility

On the technical front, WLD trades above the MA-20 ($0.4669) and MA-50 ($0.4369) on the hourly chart, and sits well above the MA-200 ($0.3584) on the daily timeframe. Immediate support is observed at the Ichimoku Kijun level of $0.4598. MACD shows a strong buy signal and ADX confirms a buy, reflecting robust underlying momentum. At the same time, RSI stands at 55.4, supporting a modest bullish bias, while Stochastic RSI indicates oversold conditions and CCI remains neutral. Bull/Bear Power points to buyers dominating intraday action, yet the price has drifted near the session low following a daily gain of 9.26% and a notable gap of $0.0502, with volatility elevated. The mixed readings across oscillators and momentum measures indicate some uncertainty despite strong upward flows.

Upside breakout risk rises as consolidation range narrows

Over the next two to three sessions, WLD is expected to trade within a range of $0.4386 to $0.4958, with the probability of an upward move considered very high and a downward break viewed as much less likely. The baseline expectation is continued consolidation within this band, with a bullish scenario unfolding if price breaks above $0.4958 and a bearish scenario if WLD falls below $0.4386 for a sustained period.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, analyst at Traders Union, believes the recent WLD token unlock has set the stage for continued bullish momentum. He sees strong institutional presence and above-average trading activity as healthy signs of fundamental interest. Macro sentiment and liquidity flows both support the case for further upside. "With robust fundamentals and growing market participation, I expect Worldcoin to consolidate with a clear upward bias in the near term."

In a recent review, analysts highlighted Worldcoin's shift to bullish momentum as renewed demand and major ecosystem upgrades drove the token above its critical technical levels. The current technical landscape confirms this positive trend and adds heightened volatility around the recent token unlock, with $0.4958 emerging as an important upside level to monitor for continued gains.
