$SOXLB Faces Heavy Selling — Can Bulls Defend $54.89?

$SOXLB is trading at $55.89, down 17.29% over 24 hours after a sharp sell-off from the $66.91 area. On the 15-minute chart, the rebound from $52.43 has lost momentum, and price is now consolidating near the $54.89 support zone.

I’m watching $58.08 as the first major resistance. A strong reclaim could open the door toward $60.00, but if buyers fail to defend $54.89, another test of $52.43 becomes possible. For now, the short-term structure remains weak until price starts making stronger recovery moves.

Volume is significant, with $53.73M in 24-hour USDT trading volume and 920,584.26 SOXLB units traded. The heavy turnover alongside the decline suggests intense market activity, but it doesn’t confirm that selling pressure is finished.

My Trading Plan

I’m not rushing into a dip-buy here. I’d first want to see $SOXLB hold $54.89 and reclaim $56.50–$58.08 with improving momentum before considering an entry. For DCA, I’d wait for price to stabilize near support rather than automatically buying every dip.

If $52.43 breaks, my bullish setup is invalidated, and I’d reassess before committing more capital. Since SOXLB is a 3x leveraged ETF, volatility and losses can be amplified, making disciplined position sizing especially important.

The key question now: Is this consolidation building a recovery base, or is the market preparing for another leg down? I’m watching $54.89 support and the $58.08 reclaim for the next clear signal.
