Many investors were surprised, but this was caused by a mix of factors: unlocked tokens, airdrop sales, and the market rethinking BARD’s value. 

The BARD price crash shows that just because a token is popular at launch, it doesn’t mean the price will stay high.

Selling Pressure After Listing

BARD went live on big exchanges like Binance, Coinbase, OrangeX, and Bybit on September 18. At launch, all tokens were unlocked. 

This allows early investors and presale buyers to sell right away. The result was heavy selling, which caused the Lombard price crash.

Trading volume was very high, $681 million in 24 hours. Experts say that when so many tokens are sold at once, the market can’t absorb it easily. 

Since 77.5% of the total tokens will unlock over time, more price drops could happen if buyers don’t step in.

Airdrop Sales Added to the Drop

Before the launch, Binance gave away 10 million tokens as an airdrop. 

This was only 1% of the total supply, but it made up 4.4% of the circulating currency. 

Many people sold their free cryptos immediately, which pushed the price down further.

This is common in crypto. Small airdrops can have a big effect on low-circulation tokens. In BARD’s case, it added to the  price crash.

Bard Price Prediction 

After listing, it’s price jumped at first but then fell to around $0.92–$1.05. This shows the market is trying to find a balance. If it holds above $0.92, it might recover. But if it falls below $0.90, more selling could happen.

Short-Term (1 to 2 Weeks)

Bullish Case: Over the next week or two, it may go up or down. If additional buyers step in, it may hit $1.10–$1.15. 

Bearish Case: But if profit-taking by early holders happens, it may slide back to $0.90–$0.92. 

Investors' response to token unlocks will determine whether the price crash slows or goes on.

Long-Term (3 to 6 Months)

BARD's price in the next couple of months will hinge on how well Lombard's LBTC Bitcoin DeFi platform does. 

Bullish Case: If it remains above $1.15, the price could go up to $1.25–$1.35. 

Bearish Case: But if it can't sustain $0.90, the price could go down to $0.85–$0.88, and that's when long-term buyers may come in.

Token Supply and Inflation

BARD has a total of 1 billion tokens, of which 225 million are available at launch. 

The project also contributes 7% fresh coins annually for the first year. 

Combined with unlocked coins and airdrop sales, this may maintain the price low for the time being. 

Investors should observe how new coins flow into the market. 

Recovery Potential

Even following the BARD price crash, some hope remains.
