Reducing immediate selling pressure can support price — but only temporarily if demand is unchanged.

Constraining circulating supply through vesting, lockups, or emission control can tighten float and improve early supply-demand balance. If real demand exists, reduced sell-side pressure can enhance price stability and upward momentum.

However, artificially suppressing sellers without strengthening demand drivers simply defers pressure. Unlock overhangs, concentrated ownership, or weak utility will eventually reassert themselves.

Sustainable price improvement requires structural demand exceeding accessible supply — not just delayed distribution.
