Below is the information about the 3 most recent token unlocks $SUI (based on the monthly vesting unlock schedule for investors and early contributors, starting from May 2025). Each unlock is approximately 44 million SUI (about 1.2-1.3% of the circulating supply at that time).
I calculated the price volatility before each unlock based on price changes in the 7 days prior (from historical USD price data of SUI). Volatility is the percentage change in price from 7 days prior to the unlock date.
