SOL at $92, are you going to buy the dip?



Western Union hints at launching stablecoins on Solana, Blackstone is clearing $550 million on-chain, Goldman Sachs holds $108 million, and ETF net inflows reached $40 million in April— but just now, large investors have been continuously withdrawing over the past 24 hours, a listed company pledged 7 million SOL with an unrealized loss of nearly $1 billion, and the price was hammered back from $98 to $91.

First look at the surface: a barrage of positive news, but the price isn’t rising.

Over the past week, it has been bouncing between $85 and $98, with a market cap of $52.4 billion remaining in the top five, down less than 5% in 30 days—more resilient than other altcoins. The candlestick chart shows: symmetrical triangle consolidation, with $85 holding twice, but failing to break past $97.5 three times.

The first thing: traditional giants are collectively leaning toward Solana.

Western Union CEO hinted at launching USDPT stablecoin in May, directly connecting to a global cash redemption network in over 200 countries. Anchorage Digital has confirmed issuance.

Blackstone’s BUIDL fund cleared $550 million on Solana, Goldman Sachs holds $108 million, and South Korea’s Shinhan Card signed an MOU for stablecoin payments.

The second thing: developers are frantically fleeing Ethereum.

Latest May data: active developers on Solana increased by 45% month-over-month, with new developer registrations surpassing Ethereum.

Monthly active SPL token holder addresses hit 167 million, a new all-time high. DEX monthly trading volume reached 45 billion, on par with Ethereum.

The third thing: a ticking time bomb is right in front of us.

A listed company holds 7 million staked SOL, with an unrealized loss of nearly $1 billion on paper.

Similar to FTX’s SOL holdings back then—if forced to sell, can the market absorb it?

Additionally, large investors have been continuously net withdrawing over the past 24 hours, with the price suppressed below the 7-day, 25-day, and 99-day EMA lines, RSI at only 42 (neutral leaning bearish).

On one side:

- Western Union, Blackstone, Goldman Sachs are pouring in real money

- Developer growth up 45%, monthly active addresses hitting new highs

- Alpenglow upgrade imminent, reducing final latency to 150 milliseconds

- ETF continuous net inflows, institutional rotation shifting from BTC/ETH to SOL

On the other side:

- A company’s 7 million staked SOL could dump at any time

- Large investors keep withdrawing, technicals suppressed by moving averages

- Macro rate cut expectations narrowing, liquidity tightening

- Failing to break through $97.5 three times, huge psychological pressure

Key level: $91, the psychological midpoint for bulls and bears.

Resistance above: $97.5 (top of the range) → $106 (April high) → $120

Support below: $85 (bottom of the range) → $78-80 (0.618 Fib + vital support line)

Short-term traders:

Wait for a pullback to $85-87 before entering, stop-loss at $78 (must exit if broken), first target to take half at $97.5. If it breaks $97.5 with volume, chase longs, aiming for $106-$120.

Swing traders:

Start building positions in the $85 zone in batches, stop-loss at $75, target $120-$150. If it falls below $78, cut losses and don’t hold.

Long-term believers:

Invest blindly below $85. End-of-2026 target: $150-$200+, betting on Alpenglow mainnet launch + Western Union stablecoin igniting the payment narrative. Watch the 7 million staked SOL— that’s the only black swan.

SOL now is like where it was at the end of 2024—

Everyone fears FTX’s legacy crashing the market, but it rose from $20 to $200.
