$SOL SOL roller coaster is taking off again! Will it surge or be liquidated? Do you dare to take on the 'emoji pack' market of the whales?”
Today, the five-minute K-line of SOL moved like an ICU monitor, with a daily amplitude of 0.20% glued around $147. The morning opened at $147.38, briefly touched $147.57, then was slammed down to a close of $147.18, clearly showing the traces of whale manipulation. The BOLL bands have narrowed to the $0.8 range, with the middle band at $147.17 acting as a meat grinder for bulls and bears, the upper band at $147.57 pressing down hard, and the lower band at $146.76 hanging a long stop-loss order. The MACD is flatlining, with the DIF and DEA nearly overlapping, indicating that this pattern is either the calm before the storm or a prelude to whale maneuvering.
1. On-chain data shows
The market maker Wintermute has placed an order for 3,000 SOL at $147.2, but the follow-up volume is only 500 SOL, clearly a tactic of false support and real dumping, coupled with the SOL perpetual funding rate on Coinbase dropping to -0.003%, indicating that the bears are starting to pay protection fees.
2. News front
DeFi Development Corp. submitted a $1 billion registration statement to the SEC, explicitly stating that they will use the raised funds to purchase SOL. This operation directly reassured the market—a large institutional fund is entering to support the price, turning the $145-$147 range into an area of value. However, on-chain data hides a trap: while Jito's staking volume surged by 12%, the on-chain GAS fee for SOL dropped to a new monthly low of $0.0005, clearly indicating that the ecosystem's activity is artificially inflated, with whales using good news to offload. Even more suspiciously, a giant whale canceled the staking of 17,000 SOL and transferred it to an exchange within two days, a move valued at $2.568 million, obviously indicating that smart money is playing a high-position cash-out game after getting insider information.
