A few days ago, I was still calculating whether I had enough money for instant noodles this month. This morning, I was already wondering whether to add sausage. While everyone was still waiting on the sidelines, I watched $EIGEN for a long time. Every rebound fell just short of breaking higher, and the volume never followed. A rebound without volume is just asking to get wrecked. I’ve seen this pattern too many times—same playbook every time. I went short directly around 0.2144. The price has now dropped to 0.2104, with +87.6% profit secured. Time to have a good meal. Nailed the rhythm on this move—feeling great, brothers. Take profit on 80% first, and move the stop loss on the remaining 20% to the breakeven price for protection. Let the profits continue to run—don’t give back the gains already in your mouth. Put the bulk in your pocket first and let the rest fly for a while. Don’t get inflated by profits or despair over drawdowns; the money you make is the monetization of your understanding, while the money you lose reflects the gaps in your understanding. The market specializes in humbling all kinds of overconfidence, especially the person who thinks they’re the smartest. Now is not the time to chase. Shorting after the move has started is easy way to get punished. Wait for the next signal before making a move—I’ll alert you immediately. There will be more opportunities, so don’t rush. Wait patiently for good news. $SOL $SNDK

As of late August 2026, Solana (SOL) remains in a bottoming consolidation phase following a prolonged slump, with intense battles between bulls and bears and complex market sentiment. 📊 Price action and key levels · Recent price range: SOL has recently fluctuated narrowly around $75 - $78. · Key support: $69 - $72 is the most important near-term support zone. If it breaks below this range, the price could fall toward the $60 area. · Key resistance: $81 - $85 is the main short-term resistance zone, with the 20-week moving average (~$81.6) also creating pressure there. Only a recovery and sustained hold above $81 could open room for a further rebound, with the next target around $104. · Long-term trend: The price has retreated more than 75% from its all-time high, while the monthly chart has posted its tenth consecutive bearish candle, setting a rare record for consecutive declines. Bearish forces remain dominant. ⛓️ Network fundamentals and key developments · On-chain activity hits a record high: In the week ending August 18, Solana processed 1.2 billion non-vote transactions, a new all-time high, driven mainly by growth in DeFi activity. · Technical upgrade deployed: On August 19, the Solana mainnet shortened its Slot Time from 400 milliseconds to 350 milliseconds for the first time, further improving performance. · Near outage exposed risks: During a recent network incident, a service provider outage temporarily took 28.83% of staked SOL offline, nearly triggering the threshold for halting block production (33.34%), once again raising concerns about the degree of node centralization. 🐳 Market sentiment and fund flows · Market sentiment is bearish: Negative sentiment (FUD) toward SOL's price recently reached its highest level of 2026, while market trading volume also fell to its lowest level of the year. This is typically viewed as “the darkness before dawn,” but it also reflects the current lack of confidence. · Smart money starts buying the dip: A “whale” address that accurately bought the bottom during the 2023 bear market and made more than $20 million in profits recently resumed purchasing SOL after two years of dormancy, acquiring approximately $3.6 million worth of SOL (47,535 tokens). Some view this as a potential bottom signal. 🚀 Ecosystem and long-term plans · Derivatives strategy: Solana officials have made clear that they will strongly support fully on-chain perpetual futures (Perps) projects, with the goal of becoming the world's strongest on-chain financial derivatives infrastructure. · DeFi performs strongly: In the second quarter, applications on the Solana network generated $262 million in revenue, accounting for 41% of all Web3 application revenue and ranking first for the ninth consecutive quarter. --- Overall, SOL is currently at a critical juncture technically: facing strong resistance above and weak support below. Although on-chain activity and ecosystem development are impressive, and whales have already begun positioning, overall market sentiment and technical indicators such as an RSI below 50 remain weak. Short-term price action depends heavily on whether the broader market, especially Bitcoin, can recover. $SOL ‌#BTC突破$77000

A $96.6 billion asset management giant enters the scene: Korean won fund to launch on Solana, is RWA starting to seize the Asian market? Shinhan Asset Management, which manages $96.6 billion, is bringing a “Korean won fund” onto Solana. Shinhan Asset Management Korea has just signed a four-party cooperation agreement with the Solana Foundation, Etherfuse, and Orca to test a tokenized fund denominated in Korean won. This is not simply a matter of issuing an on-chain token. The plan draws on BlackRock’s BUIDL model: overseas institutional investors first purchase Shinhan’s ultra-short-term Korean won bond fund, after which the fund shares are tokenized, with issuance, distribution, and liquidity testing completed on-chain. Each of the four companies will handle one part: Shinhan will provide the underlying real-world fund assets; Etherfuse will provide the tokenization infrastructure; Orca will provide on-chain liquidity; Solana will provide the underlying public blockchain. KYC, anti-money laundering, security audits, and compliant transfers will all be tested together. The significance of this news for SOL is that Solana is competing for a market previously dominated mainly by Ethereum and financial-sector-specific traditional chains: institutional RWA. South Korea passed legislation related to security tokens in January this year, with formal implementation expected in February 2027. Traditional financial institutions are now building the infrastructure a year in advance, clearly not just for a demonstration. The current global RWA market, excluding stablecoins, is approximately $36.27 billion, having grown about 22-fold since 2020. This initiative also points to a new direction: on-chain RWA has previously been almost entirely dominated by dollar-denominated assets, while Shinhan is testing a fund denominated in Korean won. If this model succeeds, it could next be replicated for the Japanese yen, Singapore dollar, and more Asian bond assets. However, this remains only a proof of concept and memorandum of cooperation; the fund has not officially launched. What remains to be seen is whether the test can progress to an actual issuance, and whether institutional capital will truly move on-chain after South Korea’s regulatory framework takes effect in 2027.#RWA #solana $SOL
