#layer1 Community Insights & Market Sentiment

$SOL has broken below 100.

From 109 onward, it has been smashed down in a straight line. In 5 days, it fell by almost 10%. This isn’t a slow bleed—it’s accelerating downward. In the 4-hour timeframe, there have been 6 consecutive bearish candles, with virtually no real rebound in between. The last candle directly stabbed into 98.26, closing at 99.65.

The market signals are very clear: the shorts are controlling the order flow. The 100 integer level held for several rounds, but this time it was simply kicked through. 98.26 is the 24-hour low and also the new low for this leg down. Support levels failed one after another, and the bulls couldn’t organize any effective counterattack.

Market sentiment is fearful. Over the past 24 hours, trading volume reached $2.1 billion USD—not small—but it’s all sell-side pressure. The funding rate is -0.0031%. The shorts are paying for positions, which indicates the desire to short is still strengthening. I haven’t seen the funding rate turn sharply negative, meaning the shorts aren’t yet crowded to the point where a reverse squeeze would be triggered. There is still room for further downside.

Whale behavior is reflected in volume and price. The second-to-last 4-hour K-line had 6.5 million contracts in volume, the largest bearish breakout volume recently. It was dumped from 101.98 straight down to 100.02. Volume spikes like this after a breakdown usually mean big money is distributing—not something retail traders could smash down with. After that, volume shrank to 1.89 million contracts, suggesting the bulls have already given up resistance. The shorts don’t need to spend too many chips to keep pushing downward.

The volume-price structure is deteriorating. Downward move with expanding volume, rebounds with contracting volume—this is the classic volume-price alignment of a short trend. The 24-hour range is 6%, from 104.35 to 98.26, with increasing volatility. The weighted average is 101.5; the current price at 99.65 is far below the weighted average, meaning most buyers from today are now trapped. Trapped positions will become pressure on future rebounds.

K-line details. On the 4-hour timeframe, the 98.26 candle has a very short lower wick, a long real body, and the close is near the low. This isn’t a “bottoming and rebounding” signal—it’s damage done, but not enough dumping yet. The previous candle was also a big bearish candle with a small lower wick; the two together form an acceleration-down pattern. To see a potential selloff slowdown in the short term, at least one 4-hour candle with a long lower wick or a doji would be needed. There isn’t one yet.

Nini’s plan:

Current price: 99.65. Bias: bearish. If 98 can’t hold, the next support to watch is around 95. A rebound into the 101–102 range is a resistance zone—don’t chase longs. Wait until a volume-confirmed selloff-stabilization signal appears.
