Solana (SOL) Price Tanks 7% Amid FTX Cold Wallet Transfers
Solana's price, though correcting, remains above crucial support at $59. We anticipate a swift recovery, pushing SOL to surpass $70.
Amidst a period of mild consolidation across the wider cryptocurrency market, Solana (SOL), a prominent competitor to Ethereum Layer-1, is undergoing a notable price correction today. As of the latest update, the Solana (SOL) price has experienced a 7% decline, currently trading at $60.32, with a market capitalization of $25.5 billion.
Why Is Solana Price Down?
Solana has witnessed a massive price rally over the past month and so, becoming the sixth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap. The recent SOL price drop also coincides with a massive transfer taking place through an FTX cold wallet.
In a recent development reported by Lookonchain, an address closely associated with the FTX cold wallet, identified as 4Axqyo…HswTAh, unstaked a significant amount of 1.5 million SOL (equivalent to approximately $90 million) today at 7:55 UTC+8.
The entirety of this unstaked amount was subsequently transferred to the address 3vxheE5…5mgkom. According to Lookonchain, there is speculation that the receiving address, 3vxheE5…5mgkom, may be linked to Coinbase’s internal address.
As we know, crypto exchange FTX has been holding a massive amount of Solana before its bankruptcy filing last week. Now, the exchange has been liquidating its holdings in order to repay the creditors.
However, this hasn’t deterred Solana investors from embarking on a bullish price rally.
SOL Price Action and DeFi TVL
In the latest market update, SOL is currently quoted at $60.10, registering a 6.87% decline in the past 24 hours. Despite this minor setback, SOL has demonstrated resilience over the week, marking a 12.23% increase, and an impressive 46.84% surge over the last 30 days.
Recent market dynamics reveal an unsuccessful attempt by the SOL price to breach the $65.3 mark. Moreover, the asset has recently dipped below the critical support level of $62.5. Analysts suggest that a potential bullish scenario could materialize if the price successfully breaks above $63.4, paving the way for a retest of the $65.3 resistance level.
In the event of a bullish breakthrough, market observers anticipate a potential ascent towards the $79.1 level. Conversely, a dip below the $59 level could signal a downward trajectory, potentially testing the support level at $56.4. Investors and analysts are closely monitoring these key levels for potential market shifts. Cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez warns of potential correction for Solana!
TD Sequential signals sell on
SOL weekly chart, and RSI is overbought. A profit-taking surge could lead to a retracement to $47.6. SOL needs a weekly close above $68.4 to counter the bearish outlook, targeting $108.
Moreover, Solana, renowned for its exceptional throughput and scalability, is making waves in the decentralized finance (DeFi) realm. The recent surge in Total Value Locked (TVL) to an impressive $655 million showcases Solana’s growing influence and confidence within the DeFi sector.
This milestone not only reflects numerical success but also highlights Solana’s emergence as a formidable player in decentralized finance. While DefiLlama’s October statistics placed Solana’s TVL at around $326 million, a recent update reveals a remarkable doubling to over $655 million, marking the highest TVL in over a year and signaling robust and sustained growth.
