Seeing developers prioritize fun-first gameplay is the "adulting" phase GameFi had to go through.
​Here’s a quick breakdown of the core shifts you mentioned, organized for clarity:

SOL, from the current market view, started to decline after the price reached 128. The correction is now basically complete.

Personal suggestion, for reference only (strictly set stop-loss)
SOL can accumulate around 122-121, with a target of 126-130.
