SOL at $76 with 52W high of $294. 74% drawdown is harsh but the ecosystem is still strong.
solana_maxi bro the chain is strong but 74 percent drawdown means anyone who bought near 294 is never seeing breakeven. degen activity doesnt help them
10k deployment feels reasonable for Solana. The DeFi activity is still high despite the crash.
Aisha O. 10k portfolio deployment at 76 bucks is brave. deFi TVL on sol got cut in half since the high. would wait for 50s before averaging down
solanov_skid_ 74 percent drawdown and the chain is still processing faster than eth and avax combined. token price is disconnected from actual network utility at this point
Aisha deploying 10k at 76 is either going to look like a genius entry or a catching falling knife situation. given the MACD signals im leaning toward the latter
Solana’s recovery has been impressive compared to other L1s. Still worth holding imo.
74 percent drawdown and people still quoting ecosystem strength. brother your bag is down 3x doesnt matter if solana processes at lightspeed
liquid_wicks_ exactly this. people quoting TPS and ecosystem strength while their bag bleeds 75pct. nobody cares about fast block times when your portfolio is down 3x
MACD bearish cross on weekly at 76 and the article calls it a deep dive not a sell signal. neutral analysis is fine but lets be honest about the trend direction
MACD bearish cross on the weekly at 76 and people still calling bottoms. the 294 to 76 drawdown is not a sale its a liquidation event in slow motion
solanov_skid_ calling it a liquidation event in slow motion is the best description ive seen. 294 to 76 isnt a correction its a multi month unwind with no clear floor
SOL at $76 with bearish MACD on the weekly. the ecosystem TVL is half what it was at the top. anyone calling a bottom here is fighting the trend
Sahil V. the chain is processing more txs than ETH and AVAX combined at 74% drawdown. token price and network utility are completely disconnected at this point
tvl_disconnect_ TPS numbers dont matter when TVL is halving weekly. you can process a million transactions but if value is leaving the chain the token will bleed
Sahil V. fighting the trend at 76 with bearish weekly MACD is how people lose another 50 percent. Solana TVL halving since the top confirms the fundamental deterioration
Hoang N. exactly. 294 to 76 is a 74 pct bleed and the MACD is still bearish. calling bottoms here is financial malpractice
fib_floor_ calling it financial malpractice is generous. 294 to 76 is a full haircut not a dip. anyone buying the MACD crossover at 76 got rewarded with another 15pct bleed
74 percent from 294 to 76 is not a dip thats a bloodbath. MACD bearish cross on the weekly confirms more downside imo
74pct drawdown and the article still hedges with ecosystem strength. Solana TVL was halving weekly at that point. calling a bottom with bearish weekly MACD is how you catch a falling knife
74pct drawdown and the article still rates it WAIT not SELL. any trend-following system would have flipped short at the 200 DMA break around 180
294 to 76 and the article calls it WAIT not SELL. any trend system went short at the 200 DMA break around 180. this is cope
74pct drawdown and SOL maxis still posting TPS charts. nobody cares about fast blocks when your bag is down 3x
Hannelore D. the TVL halving since the top confirms it. capital already voted with its feet. DeFi TVL is the only fundamental that matters for SOL
MACD histogram bearish cross at 76 while RSI was screaming oversold for weeks. anyone who held through that deserved what they got
skew_kep_ the RSI oversold argument is how people catch falling knives tho. SOL wasnt cheap at 76 it was expensive at 294
