Solana Dives 14% as Whales Dump $46M in SOL

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Solana (SOL) is under intense pressure this week, plunging over 14% as massive whale activity rattles investor confidence. At the time of writing, Solana trades at $115.91, down more than 3% in the past 24 hours and nearly 18% over the past month.

Recent on-chain data from Lookonchain reveals that four major wallets collectively unstaked and dumped $46 million worth of SOL onto exchanges in just 24 hours. The top transaction came from wallet ‘HUJBzd,’ which offloaded $30.3 million in SOL, followed by ‘BnwZvG’ with $9.47 million, ‘8rWuQ5’ with $3.53 million, and ‘2UhUo1’ shedding $3 million.

Such aggressive moves have triggered widespread speculation about SOL’s near-term future, especially as the broader crypto market reels from heightened macroeconomic uncertainty. Donald Trump’s announcement of reciprocal tariffs has already shaken global markets, with analysts forecasting increased volatility for risk assets, including Bitcoin and altcoins.

SOL’s bearish trajectory mirrors these wider trends, with analysts pointing to market-wide caution. Matrixport recently warned that Bitcoin may follow the stock market’s footsteps, further amplifying uncertainty across the crypto landscape.

Yet, amid the bearish wave, optimism still flickers. Crypto analyst Brandon Hong sparked a buzz on social media, declaring Solana is “about to have its biggest breakout ever.” According to Hong, the token is on the verge of breaking a 400-day range — a technical milestone that could reverse the current downtrend.

“Buy now or regret later,” Hong advised on X (formerly Twitter), fueling bullish speculation even as whale sell-offs dominate headlines.
