【In 48 hours, 4.2 billion transactions—this number had me staring at it for half an hour】
Trading volume is amplified—this isn’t just any kind of amplification. It’s the kind where “market funds are actually doing real work.”
Here’s a detail. In the past 48 hours, BTC broke below 79k, and XRP led a bunch of mainstream coins down with it—except SOL and BNB, which held steady. What does that mean? It’s not that SOL is inherently that strong. It’s that funds have conviction in these two sectors. When BTC is rising, SOL follows along to drink from the gravy. When BTC pulls back, SOL takes the hit—this kind of divergence is something I’ve seen in 2021 with LUNA. Back then, the divergence ultimately turned into a breakdown. This time the structure is different, but the underlying logic is the same: there are sectors acting as a shield.
Now look on-chain. Over 48 hours, Solana processed 4.2 billion transactions, and the RWA scale surged to nearly $4 billion. I stared at this number for half an hour—not because it’s big, but because it points to a real issue: people are truly using this chain. Not DeFi volume recycling—actual assets on-chain, real transfers. Not FOMO-style pumping, but activity supported by business logic.
SOL’s current price is $104, down about 64% from its ATH. Valuation has been repaired to this level. The sentiment index is 71: the market isn’t crazy, but it’s also not calm. At this point, you can’t really say it’s expensive, but calling it cheap doesn’t quite fit either.
When would I be wrong?
First, SOL catches up on the downside. When BTC pulls back, if SOL starts to fall along with it instead of holding up, it means funds are withdrawing—and the logic changes.
Second, on-chain data turns downward. If the 4.2 billion transactions drop below 2 billion in the next cycle, it shows this burst of activity is just a short-term effect.
Third, the overall market turns bearish. If expectations of the FED raising rates really heat up, and BTC can’t hold 79k, then no matter how tough SOL is, it still has to bow.
My take? ➡️ Volatile, but on the strong side.
It won’t surge nonstop, but it also won’t fall that far. Money is still in the sector, fundamentals are still there, and the valuation-repair logic is still intact. In plain terms, this is a “still playable” phase.
I’m not just hyping it. Back in 2017, when I got wrecked by being cut, it was also this kind of mindset—“the fundamentals look pretty good.” This time I’ve learned my lesson: you can watch from the sidelines, but don’t go in with heavy positions. What about you—what’s your mindset now? Are you willing to chase this move? Or are you like me—able to see it clearly, but when it’s time to place the order, you end up backing out.
