As an analyst with years of experience navigating the tumultuous waters of the cryptocurrency market, I find myself intrigued by this recent move from the Solana validator. The whale’s decision to unstake and sell a substantial amount of SOL tokens, despite the market correction, is a move that has been seen before in this industry, but never without consequences.
A Solana validator, who had previously experienced a decline in value, decided to withdraw a substantial quantity of the asset once more, as the market underwent a moderate adjustment.
Over the last three days, I’ve noticed that a significant Solana (SOL) token holder, often referred to as a ‘whale,’ has moved 200,000 tokens from their staking position. Subsequently, these assets, valued at around $30 million, have been transferred to Binance, the leading cryptocurrency exchange in terms of trading volume.
Based on Solscan’s information, a validator offloaded approximately 1.2 million SOL, valued at about $178 million, from June to July. This action led to a significant drop in the Solana price, causing it to fall from around $170 to $125 within just over two weeks.
On June 7, as the validator began unstaking, Solana observed a sentiment among users that was strikingly analogous to the movements of a whale. According to Santiment’s data, this correlation can be seen in the social media discussions surrounding Solana on that day.
Over the last seven days, there’s been a steadily decreasing public opinion about this asset. At present, it’s exhibiting a neutral trend.
It’s worth mentioning that the present amount, which is about $30 million, is nearly six times less than the $178 million in losses experienced just four months back.
Over the last seven days, the value of Solana increased by 9%, and it’s currently holding steady near $150, even with the broader market experiencing corrections.
To date, we haven’t seen any indications of a significant sale-off for SOL. Interestingly, its daily trading volume has reduced by 33% to approximately $1.9 billion.
According to information from crypto.news, the Relative Strength Index for Solana stands at 48, indicating that it’s currently in a neutral zone – neither overly bought nor oversold, at this specific price level. If the overall cryptocurrency market maintains its bullish trend, it’s unlikely that Solana’s price will drop, but it’s wise to exercise caution nonetheless.
