Solana’s Great Turtle Wobble: $220 Summit or Octopus Abyss?

by

Key Takeaways

Why hasn’t Solana flipped the $200 level like a pancake? 🥞

The on-chain metrics were throwing a party where selling pressure was the DJ spinning the saddest tracks, and demand was just there, sipping lukewarm tea, pretending to care. 🎶☕

Will bulls rally, or is this a crypto winter wonderland? ❄️

The cost-basis heatmap and capitulation metrics suggest the $180-$190 zone might be SOL’s launchpad to $220-or a diving board into a pool of existential dread. 🚀💦

Over the past week, Solana [SOL] shed 15.11%, with the 10th of October being particularly spicy. It dropped from $220.93 to $168.79-a 23.6% slump-before bouncing back like a trampoline made of hope. 🛝✨

Currently, SOL is wrestling with the $200 psychological level like a toddler with a stubborn door. 🚪👶

AMBCrypto noted that selling pressure and profit-taking were strong in September but have eased slightly. Still, it’s like watching a teapot tiptoe across a tightrope. 🫖🪂

The case for a Solana rally

The cost basis heatmap looks like a confused sunburn. Early August and September saw sharp drops below key levels ($164 and $202), followed by recovery attempts. Now, SOL is approaching $193, a potential “accumulation zone” or just a trap for optimistic investors. 🌞🔥

Holders have been distributing supply like a magician pulling rabbits from a hat-but with fewer rabbits and more existential questions. 🎩🐇

The Hodler Net Position Change has been negative since mid-September, like a grumpy uncle at a family reunion. But it’s trending toward zero, suggesting the profit-taking period is ending-or just taking a nap. 😴👴

Spikes in forced selling: Local bottom or just a pothole? 🛣️

The profit pressure metric peaked in mid-September, then slumped like a deflated balloon animal. Meanwhile, Hodler Net Position Change turned increasingly negative, like a broken toaster with opinions. 🍞⚡

Capitulation metric spikes show selling at a loss, which is as fun as a root canal with a surprise tax audit. But hey, it might mark a local bottom-or just a cliff. 🏞️🪂

The CBD chart shows supply at $230 shrinking since October 9th, like a candle in a hurricane. Fearful selling, anyone? 🕯️🌪️

Chances of a Solana recovery from $180-$190 look decent-if Bitcoin [BTC] can scale Mount $117k first. Otherwise, Solana investors might need to adopt a bearish outlook. (Bearish means “cave in the ground.” Not a good look.) 🐻🕳️

If BTC trends below $108k or $102k, Solana’s future will be as bright as a disco ball in a blackout. 🕳️💥
