SOL surged to 121.6 and got pushed back down. Trading volume exploded, but the price couldn't rise—is the short-term bearish momentum about to kick in?
Guys, the more I look at this move in $SOL , the more something feels off.
On the 4-hour chart, it's up 0.42%, closing at 120.78. But zoom in on the 15-minute candles: the highs of the last four candles over the past hour have been sliding lower—121.28 → 120.9 → 120.84 → 120.81. Each rebound is weaker than the last, and the latest swing high is already around 120.9. The bulls are clearly running out of steam.
The most concerning thing is volume. Total trading volume in the last two hours was up 120.63% compared with the preceding two hours—more than double—yet the price is stuck around 120.8. When volume surges like that and the price doesn't rise, it points to one thing: someone is aggressively selling into the strength, and all the buying is getting absorbed.
The key levels are clear: 121.6 is a hard ceiling overhead. As long as SOL can't reclaim and hold above it, the bearish case remains valid. Below, 120.1 is the target for this move. If that breaks, the floodgates open.
My approach is simple: around 120.9 is a short entry, with a stop-loss above 121.6 and a target of 120.1.
Of course, if SOL shows some strength and reclaims 121.6, I'll admit I'm wrong and exit—no stubbornly holding the trade.
At this point, with price-volume divergence and lower highs, I'm siding with the bears in the short term. Do you think SOL can hold above 120? Let's discuss in the comments.
