Solana Stalls Below $200 With Sell Pressure Building

On-chain readings indicate fragile profits with rising exchange balances at this zone.

Overview

  • SOL trades near $197 after repeated failures to establish $200 as support.
  • Glassnode reports the share of supply in profit jumped from 52% to 70% within 48 hours while price rose less than 5%, signaling clustered gains vulnerable to fast profit-taking.
  • About 1.5 million SOL, roughly $300 million, moved to exchanges over 10 days, increasing near-term sell risk.
  • A drop below $192 could open moves toward $183 and $175, while a clean breakout above $200 and follow-through to $213 would invalidate the bearish setup.
  • Futures open interest near $9 billion leaves the market primed for a large move once volatility picks up.
