Solana: Is $190 the Point of No Return? 😱

by

Solana, that rather frantic digital bauble, finds itself once more confronting a price level of dubious significance. $190, you see, is not merely a numerical inconvenience, but a sort of psychic barrier. After a positively brisk 40% rally from the depths of its June despair – one does feel for the poor souls who bought the dip, naturally – it has returned to haunt the charts. It appears, according to the oracles at Glassnode, that an inordinate number of individuals made a rather optimistic purchase in this vicinity. A veritable throng, one might say.

The cost basis distribution, presented in a heatmap (how terribly modern!), reveals that over eight million SOL were accumulated between $189 and $191. One imagines a flurry of hopeful clicks and frantic key presses. A most heavily contested zone, indeed! It represents the last gasp of optimism before the inevitable… well, you know. 📉

These positions are, at present, either blissfully at breakeven or experiencing the faintest glimmer of profit. Which, of course, means they’ll be looking to unload. A supply wall, as the young people say. One can practically smell the impending sale.

Not that all is entirely bleak. Apparently, the supply thins out *above* $190. Should Solana actually manage to breach this level and, crucially, remain there, it might encounter a pleasant stretch of relatively unburdened ascent. Fewer sell-side pressures, you understand. A rare and delightful occurrence in this volatile landscape. 🙏

The 12-hour chart, bless its predictability, echoes this sentiment. A rather clean V-shaped recovery since June, confidently revisiting support levels at $155 and $171. Now it’s almost upon us, the exact range indicated by the on-chain data – the very same level that stifled previous attempts in February and March. A pattern, wouldn’t you say?

The confluence of historical resistance and cost basis data elevates $190 to something… more. It’s a testing of sentiment, a trial by market forces. A breakout above? Perhaps a genuine turnaround. A rejection? Well, a spot of short-term profit-taking, naturally. One can only assume that champagne will be flowing (or perhaps a consolatory gin & tonic) depending on the outcome. 🥂

But do try to remain calm, won’t you?
