Solana's Ecosystem and the Winds of ChangeIn the tapestry of today's financial markets, I see patterns that most do not. The current state of the Solana ecosystem reminds me of the housing market before the 2008 crash; not in its vulnerability, but in the potential for exponential growth, masked by the noise of the day-to-day market fluctuations.
Solana's Rise and the RWA Sector
Solana, with its high transaction throughput and low costs, has positioned itself as a beacon for developers and users alike. It's not just about speed; it's about utility. The Real World Asset (RWA) sector on Solana, particularly with projects like Parcl, offers a unique opportunity. Parcl enables investors to engage with real estate markets through tokenization, providing liquidity to an otherwise illiquid sector. This is akin to giving a farmer access to the stock market, only without the intermediaries that often siphon off value.
The potential here is vast, as it democratizes access to real estate investment, which has traditionally been the preserve of the wealthy. Solana's infrastructure supports this with its scalability, making it an ideal platform for such financial innovations. The growth in this sector could mirror the growth in tech stocks during the early internet boom, but with a foundation that's more robust and less speculative.
The ETF Approval Horizon
Now, about the ETF. The winds of regulatory change are upon us. With a new SEC chair who understands the transformative power of blockchain technologies rather than fear-mongering about them, we're looking at a landscape where a Solana ETF could not only be approved but could potentially redefine institutional investment in cryptocurrencies.
This isn't merely speculation; it's about understanding the shifts in regulatory climates. Much like how I foresaw the mortgage-backed securities debacle, I see a clear path for Solana ETFs, driven by the necessity for financial institutions to adapt or perish in this new digital economy. The approval of such an ETF would inject significant liquidity into Solana, potentially increasing its market cap and solidifying its position against other blockchain networks.
The future of Solana, particularly with its RWA initiatives and the potential ETF approval, could be a defining moment in blockchain's integration into traditional finance. But remember, we navigate these waters not for the calm but for the storm of opportunity they promise.

SOLUSDC
Testing the Hypothesis Again: High Risk, High Stakes SOLUSDCPrevious Trade Reflection
The previous trade didn’t go as planned, and the loss serves as a reminder of the heavy impact fundamentals can have on the market. Short positions, in particular, carry significant risks, and this was no exception. Failure is always a possibility, and that’s part of the trading journey.
Trump’s Memecoin Hype
Donald Trump recently launched his own memecoin, and the hype surrounding it boosted Solana’s ecosystem significantly, as the memecoin operates on Solana. While this is great news for the ecosystem and technology, it unfortunately didn’t align well with my particular trading setup.
Testing the Hypothesis Again
Despite the challenges, I’m revisiting this trade with caution. The price has spiked significantly, which makes it highly risky, but I currently have no other trade setups on my radar. This is a test of conviction and adaptability, and while the risk is sky-high, the potential for learning—and possibly profit—makes it worth the effort.
As always, proper risk management will be key here. Let’s see how this unfolds.
Risk Warning:
This trade is extremely high-risk. Please approach with caution and always consider your risk tolerance before entering similar setups.
The Case for Shorting SOLUSDT: Key ObservationsRecently, SOLUSDT has shown an impressive 28% recovery within just five days, but this level of volatility might signal a perfect setup for a short position. After analyzing the current conditions, here’s why I believe it’s time to consider shorting SOL:
1. High Volatility Signals Instability
While a 28% recovery in just five days may seem like a bullish sign, such rapid movements often indicate market instability rather than sustainable growth. Volatility on this scale can quickly lead to corrections, as prices struggle to find support at higher levels.
2. Weak Trading Volumes
Despite the sharp recovery, trading volumes remain weak. This suggests that the rally is not backed by strong buying momentum, which is critical for sustaining upward trends. Without sufficient volume, the market may struggle to push through key resistance levels.
3. Moving Averages (MA) Passed
All key moving averages (MAs) have been surpassed during this recovery, but this doesn’t necessarily indicate strength. In many cases, sharp upward movements beyond MAs can lead to overextension, creating a natural pullback as traders take profits.
4. Upper Bollinger Band Breach
The price has reached the upper Bollinger Band, a common indicator of overbought conditions. This typically signals limited upside potential and increases the likelihood of a pullback or correction.
5. Previous High Acting as Resistance
The current price is testing a significant resistance level—the previous high. Historically, such levels act as strong barriers, especially in the absence of sufficient volume or momentum to break through. This resistance further strengthens the case for a potential reversal.
Duration:
This is a short-term trade. Shorting crypto is inherently risky, especially with a fundamentally strong asset like this.
Target:
The goal is to achieve 100% profit. The entry is made on Binance with 25x leverage, using a $43.35 margin, resulting in a total position size of $1,083.
Risk:
This trade is classified as high risk, as shorting is always more dangerous than taking long positions. Proper risk management is essential.
For Solana, the $74-$110 range.For Solana, the $74-$110 range seems like a solid Spot entry point, with long-term targets of $800-$1000.
Why $74-$110? Because Coinbase has large limit buy orders set at $74 and $85 for Solana.
Waiting for the stock market and crypto market to drop.
The right moment to enter Spot is coming soon.
SOL Cup & Handle pattern approaching the key breakout area.SOLANA has been building a massive cup-and-handle pattern for over four years and has yet to break out. There was a small, false breakout after the November 5th election of President Donald Trump, but the pattern has not yet played out to its full potential.
I believe that during the upcoming 'alt-coin' season, up until mid-2025, we will see SOL, at a minimum, 2X to 3X in value. On the extreme side, it could even rise as high as 10X.
Either way, SOLANA holders will be more than satisfied, assuming there are no unpredictable events that could hinder SOL's inevitable rise through price discovery to new all-time highs.
Good luck, and always use a stop loss!
#Solana #SOL price is holding up better than #BTCCRYPTOCAP:SOL is holding up better than CRYPTOCAP:BTC
At least this conclusion can be drawn from the behavior of the assets in Q2 2024.
While #BTCUSDT price is being adjusted, #Solana buyers have managed to repel sellers' attacks 4 times over the past 3 months.
So:
1️⃣ as long as the #SOLUSDT price is trading above $120, this is a "long picture", perhaps even with sky-high targets of $650+
2️⃣ consolidation of the #SOLUSD price below the "red zone" can stimulate a good shedding to $90, and maybe even to $70
(maybe #FTX liquidators will find a large CRYPTOCAP:SOL "stash" and decide to sell it... and the crypto media will blow this event out of proportion, or something like that...)
So, what are your expectations for the #SOLUSDC price by the end of this year?
There is currently a MASSIVE Cup & Handle in SOLANA!!SOLANA (SOL) has been building a massive cup-and-handle formation on the weekly chart that has taken 3 years and 8 months to achieve. If SOL breaks out of this pattern to the upside, the gains could be unbelievable!
Good luck, and always use a stop-loss!
SOLANA has formed a Cup & Handle Pattern on the weekly/daily.SOLANA known for making some incredibly big moves over short periods of time. It is currently forming the handle of a large Cup & Handle formation, which could signal substantial price appreciation over the coming year or so.
Good luck, and always use a stop loss.
Solana Breaks Inverse H&S Neckline & Clears TriangleTraders,
Multiple indicators show Solana on the way to final target now of $230-250. My followers were given a signal at $120-140 and should easily double their $$$.
We have an inverse h&s pattern inside a bullish triangle. Additionally, a double bottom pattern forms the right shoulder. This all shows us clearly that it will be hard to stop Solana.
We have a little resistance rn and may retest the top side of our triangle, but in less than a week I anticipate further price action to the upside as we continue to smash through levels like we're karate chopping balsa wood.
Best,
Stew
SOLANA (SOL) is forming a massive, multi-year Cup & Handle!Solana is forming a MASSIVE Cup & Handle formation that could lead to major gains over the next few years. As many know, Solana has a potentially infinite supply of coins that can be created, which is one of its major downsides, in my opinion. As far as trading, and not investment perspective, I think Solana will make some mind-boggling gains over the next 3 to 5 years.
Good luck, and always use a stop-loss
Is it time for short Solana(SOL)? Analysis of price momentumEach spike can target 102% to 132% if momentum is maintained.
Currently, X has reached the target of 102, in general, the supply is increasing sharply between the range of 102 to 132 percent.
But we have another confirming factor which is the daily pivot supply area
For this reason, it is possible to short solana with a loss limit above the daily supply area.
Considering that we have hit the daily supply area, the TP can be 3 to 5 times the daily ATR, which is 1.7 and 2.7 times for our trade, respectively.
Solana (SOL) formed bullish Gartley for upto 25.50% pumpHey dear friends, hope you are well, and welcome to the new trade setup of Solana (SOL) coin with US Dollar pair.
Previously we caught almost 16% pump of SOL agains Bitcoin as below:
Now on a daily time frame, SOL has formed a bullish Gartley pattern for the next price reversal.
Note: Above idea is for educational purpose only. It is advised to diversify and strictly follow the stop loss, and don't get stuck with trade
Solana ProjectionsTraders,
As projected Solana did break to the upside of our area of confluence which was the intersection of our 50 day, 200 day, and descending TL (black). As you know, I had been waiting for this break before making an entry. The confirmation candle came but the move was too quick for my liking. I am not about chasing. So, here's what I am now waiting for: Solana tags resistance at HKEX:25 - HKEX:26 , Solana then pulls back for a classic retest of previous resistance (now support), and then, Solana takes off towards our target area. All of this should take quite a few weeks/months.
I will be looking to enter at either a retest of our 50 day/200 day or descending TL. Stay tuned.
Stew
Solana BreakoutTraders,
As expected, Solana has now broken above the neckline of our inverse H&S, the 50 day, and the 200. This is a great sign for sure but still, caution is warranted until two things happen: the expected pullback on BTC / BTC.D occurs, we understand how altcoins will respond to Bitcoin's pullback.
In Solana's case, I can see it now coming back to retest those three previous resistance areas as support. This may be one area where I look for entry.

SOL to $30Please 1st of all click the boost 🚀 button if you want me to post more ideas and follow me to support my work! It's absolutely for free. Don't be just a taker, be a giver! 👍🏻
Solana broke out of this triangle 📐 to the upside so there is chance for run to 30.30 and even higher. I traded the initial breakout and I wouldn't chase the market now. One can set BUY LIMIT order to previous range high @ 23.63 to catch🎣 the potential pullback.
ENTRY : local high @ 23.63
STOPLOSS (SL) : local low @ 22.92
TARGET : height of the triangle projected from midpoint of the local range (BUY LIMIT - SL) @ 30.30
REWARD RISK RATIO (RRR) : 9.3
INVALIDATION : when SL level hit
