Major Solana (SOL) Move to Binance — What Are Whales Signaling?

As a seasoned analyst with years of experience tracking cryptocurrency markets, I can’t help but feel a sense of intrigue when large transactions like this one involving Solana and Binance come to light. The dynamics of whale behavior have always been a fascinating study for me, and this move seems to be no exception.


According to the blockchain data tracker, Whale Alert, a significant amount of Solana was moved to the prominent cryptocurrency exchange, Binance.

154,912 Solana (SOL) valued at approximately $23,928,285 was moved from an unidentified wallet to Binance about few hours ago, according to Whale Alert’s recent tweet.

As an analyst, I’ve observed that significant cryptocurrency whales, those who hold large amounts, tend to shift their assets to exchanges when they plan to offload or trade them. Notably, such a sizable transfer has piqued interest due to its timing with the recent Solana price decline.

As I’m typing this, Solana’s price has decreased by 3.24% over the past 24 hours, suggesting that some investors might be cashing out their profits.

In recent times, Solana has been shining brightly among cryptocurrencies. Given this impressive price rise, large-scale investors may be considering cashing out their gains on Solana.

As the reasons for the transaction are not yet fully understood, observers will keep a close eye on Solana’s price fluctuations and significant future trades.

Solana price action

Starting from a low of $109.99 on August 5, Solana significantly recovered over the following days, having experienced eight consecutive drops. This recovery was marked by robust purchasing activity, causing the price of Solana to surge notably on both August 6 and 8.

Despite encountering resistance at $165, the upward momentum temporarily paused, causing the bulls to step back slightly. Currently, Solana (SOL) has dropped by 3.24% over the past 24 hours, landing at $155. This slight decline is due to profit-taking. Nevertheless, SOL has managed to increase by 3% in the weekly period.

If Solana maintains its position above the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at approximately $153, there’s a possibility that the SOL price might climb up towards the resistance level of around $189. This potential barrier could pose a substantial hurdle for the bullish trend to overcome.

On the negative side, a dip and ending point beneath the daily moving averages, specifically around $153 for the 50-day MA and $147 for the 200-day MA, could potentially suggest that bears are capitalizing on rallies. In such a scenario, Solana may be looking at a potential drop down to approximately $116.
