Crypto Whale Offloads $45.7M in Solana (SOL): Is This a Sell-Off Signal?

Crypto Whale Offloads $45.7M in Solana (SOL): Is This a Sell-Off Signal?

SOL trading volume fell 26% in 24 hours, with exchanges witnessing $60M outflows, reflecting declining investor participation.

Solana (SOL) has recently encountered significant bearish pressure as market conditions continue to challenge its upward momentum. On January 10, 2024, Whale Alert, a blockchain-based transaction tracker, reported a substantial movement of 246,064 SOL, valued at $45.76 million, to Binance. This transfer has fueled concerns about a potential sell-off as investor sentiment remains pessimistic.

Notably, following a price drop of over 16% within three days, SOL has now reached a critical support level at $196. This level aligns with the 200 Exponential Moving Average (EMA) on the daily timeframe. According to technical analysis, this point could determine the cryptocurrency’s short-term trajectory.

Conversely, if the $178 support fails and the daily close falls below $175, analysts predict SOL could slide further to $156 or beyond. If buyers regain control and SOL remains above $178, an upward rally similar to prior recoveries might materialize.

Additionally, the bearish sentiment isn’t limited to a single transaction. Over the past 24 hours, exchanges have witnessed SOL outflows exceeding $60 million, highlighting widespread caution among investors.

Further, combined with the whale’s $45.76 million transfer, the market has seen significant selling pressure. Such movements indicate that many holders prefer not to maintain long-term positions amid the prolonged downturn.

Moreover, SOL’s trading volume has dropped by 26% in the last 24 hours, reflecting reduced engagement from traders and investors. The cryptocurrency is currently trading near $182, marking a 7.95% decline within the same period.

Therefore, the dwindling participation underscores the challenges SOL faces, with market dynamics showing little indication of immediate recovery.
