These whale activities have caused a stir in the Solana market. The timing and behavior of these two whales suggest possible coordination or control by a single entity. This has raised concerns and fueled speculation among traders and analysts.
Currently, Solana is trading at $127.82, with a 24-hour trading volume of $13,288,492,194. The market cap stands at $59,510,923,517. Solana’s price has experienced a decline of 9.82% in the last 24 hours, trading below both the 20-day and 200-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs). The recent formation of a “death cross” – where the 20-day EMA crosses below the 200-day EMA – is a bearish signal, suggesting further price declines may be on the horizon.
Technical indicators paint a concerning picture. indicate that Solana’s price has broken below the lower band, suggesting oversold conditions. However, this could also indicate continued downward momentum. The volume spike observed aligns with the price drop, confirming strong selling pressure.
