$SOL is back near 94. The previous 4-hour candle jumped directly from 102.77 to 87.36—within a single day it first surged to the top, then dug a hole, and then pulled back again. In a backdrop where the price has risen 25% over 7 days, this kind of move is a textbook example of heavy churning at high levels.
First, let’s talk about the trend—it hasn’t broken. Price is riding above the 20/50 moving averages. The contract direction, momentum, and the 4-hour qualitative indicators are all pointing upward. For spot, net inflow over the past 3 hours is still positive: 12 out of 12 are green. Large orders in the tens of millions of dollars continue to come in. The news flow hasn’t lagged either—there’s the narrative around network upgrades, tokenized stocks, and ETF inflows. On the bigger picture, the bulls haven’t left.
But at this level, I actually won’t rush to chase. On the order book, the depth of buy orders is only about 40% of the sell side. On the derivatives side, active sell pressure is in the lead; active buys account for only a little above 40%. On-chain lending has surged within 12 hours—leverage is being loaded at high speed. RSI is at 82, which is overbought; ATR is maxed out; volatility is already in a dangerous zone. The bulls aren’t uncommitted—it’s just that the crowd is too crowded.
In plain terms: the trend is still strong, but in the short term both turnover/churn of positions and leverage are already at high levels, putting the market in an awkward spot. If it dips toward 90–91, that zone has been tested repeatedly before, and it’s an observation area for a pullback. If it moves up, it only counts as a “second start” when it builds volume and reclaims 100.
So I won’t chase here, and I won’t short either. Wait for a pullback to stabilize around 91–92, or for a volume-backed push that breaks back up to 100—then we’ll do the next leg. For the middle part, just watch.
