In a surprising take, a crypto analyst has foreseen a crash in the price of Solana despite the ongoing bull momentum. This analyst is projecting a crash in the price of Solana, offering a fresh perspective on the crypto heavyweight. According to a crypto trader who goes by the name AlanSantana on TradingView and is very active on the trading platform, Solana’s trading volume in the past two months suggests the crypto is gearing up for a crash. Analyst Predicts Massive Crash For Solana AlanSantana observed that Solana’s trading volume has dropped significantly between September and October 2024, a development that often signals a bearish outlook and may suggest an upcoming downward price impulse. Inferring from this outlook, this suggests that the volume trend is pointing towards demand tapering off.  Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Breaks Out Of 7-Month Descending Broadening Wedge Pattern For Continuation Above $70,000 The analyst also draws a contrast with last year’s trading activity, specifically from September to November 2023, when Solana’s volume was on the rise. This uptick in trading volume fueled a bullish rally that extended through the first quarter of 2024, with momentum carrying Solana to substantial highs by March. Based on the difference in two time periods and the current decrease in trading volume, the analyst suggested that there is a higher probability of Solana going in a main bearish direction. In light of this, he highlighted a Solana price crash below the $50 price level. Interestingly, a crash below $50 will effectively cancel out the gains in the past year and would return the cryptocurrency to its price range in November 2023.  SOL Whales Continue With Activity Solana is still largely in a bullish mode despite the decline in trading volume that was pointed out by AlanSantana. According to data from on-chain tracking firm Lookonchain, crypto whales are have upped their Solana trading activity in the past week, as evidenced by on-chain data.  Related Reading: Dogecoin Price Is About To Complete This Breakout To A Descending Megaphone Pattern, Is $1 Next? In a recent post on social media platform X, Lookonchain highlighted three instances of Solana whale addresses withdrawing SOL tokens from crypto exchanges and staking them. The largest withdrawal came from address “AA21…VxH9,” which moved 153,511 SOL tokens worth approximately $26.4 million from Binance to stake them. Another whale, identified by the address “EHax…gAUa,” withdrew 35,498 SOL tokens valued at $6.12 million from Binance and Kraken over the last three days, also staking the tokens. On the other hand, whale address “EGzi…mR7g” bought 13,000 SOL tokens worth $2.3 million from Binance to bring its total holdings to 95,651 SOL. Interestingly, another smart Solana whale address recently sold 26,726 SOL worth $3.86 million. This whale, known for buying low and selling high, currently holds 42,729 SOL, which are valued at $7.61 million. At the time of writing, Solana is trading at $178, up by 8% in seven days. The accumulation and momentum are bullish, and a crash towards $40 seems bleak at the moment. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com
