On the flip side, a rejection from the $0.2719 resistance level could see YGG price pull back towards the lower boundary at $0.1906. In the dire case, the slump could extend below this support level to possibly tag the low at $0.1147.

Meanwhile, YGG community members are bracing for the cliff token unlocks event scheduled for October 27. The event will see 12.58 million YGG tokens worth approximately $3.50 million to the market.
