Solana Dips as Pump.fun Dumps $25M in SOL

Solana (SOL)

Pump.fun has intensified its unloading spree, transferring another 156,425 Solana (SOL) — worth approximately $25.74 million — to the Kraken exchange. This brings its total deposits to 3.49 million SOL, valued at over $640 million. The regularity and scale of these transactions suggest a calculated exit strategy, adding to market unease. According to Market Prophit, both retail and smart money sentiment have turned bearish, mirroring recent price action. SOL has dropped 5.63% in the past 24 hours, currently trading around $163.07, signaling weakening confidence across investor classes.

Technical Breakdown Hints at Further Losses

From a technical perspective, SOL has broken below its ascending trendline, following a rejection at the key $179 resistance. This breach opens the door for a decline toward the $140–$145 support zone. Additionally, the Stochastic RSI is entrenched in oversold territory, implying minimal upside momentum. This breakdown, coupled with persistent sell-side pressure, suggests that unless a strong bullish catalyst emerges, the asset could see deeper retracements. With structural support weakening, the short-term outlook leans heavily bearish.

Derivatives Data and Liquidations Confirm Bearish Shift

On May 30th, CoinGlass data recorded $273.26 million in outflows versus $241.56 million in inflows, a net outflow of $31.7 million, highlighting declining investor interest. The OI-Weighted Funding Rate has also flipped negative, at –0.0015%, indicating an uptick in short positions. This marks a shift in market sentiment, with derivatives traders now betting on further downside. Moreover, $18.99 million in long positions were liquidated, compared to only $566.7K in shorts, underscoring the capitulation of over-leveraged bulls. Bybit accounted for the largest losses, followed by Binance and OKX.

With technical breakdowns, negative funding rates, and aggressive sell-offs converging, Solana is at a pivotal support level. A breach below $140 could accelerate the downtrend and confirm a broader shift in market structure. For now, all eyes are on whether bulls can hold the line — or if bears will continue their assault.
