SOL is facing an interesting game at $133.86 — 57.5% of retail traders are confidently long, but on-chain data shows that the main players are quietly slowing down in the early morning. This signal is worth paying attention to.

Yesterday, shorts were liquidated for $8.5 million, with a long-short liquidation ratio of 8.6:1. At first glance, the trend seems strong, but the price is less than $1.7 away from the previous high of $135.5. This level is often the easiest to be stepped on.

The actual trading approach is this — rather than chasing the high to $135.5, it’s better to patiently wait for a pullback. The first target is in the $130.5-132 range, where the first batch of longs is supported; if the price continues to drop to $127-129, that’s the real low-entry opportunity.

The risk management bottom line is $126.5. If the price falls below this level, it indicates that the trend logic may have reversed, and a stop-loss must be executed. Conversely, if the price breaks above $135.5 directly, you can follow with a small position, but be sure to set a stop-loss for protection.

In the short term, a rebound testing 145-150 is expected, but from a larger cycle perspective, opening a short position might be a better opportunity. Remember — every sharp decline in a bull market is a signal to add positions, not a reason to panic. Trading is essentially about playing probabilities; only high-probability moves are worth participating in.

The major players have quietly slowed down. Are you still chasing the high? Retail investors are going to get cut again this time. Waiting for a pullback around $130 might be the real opportunity.

The main force quietly slowed down in the early morning, which is indeed a dead end. The more retail investors get excited, the more dangerous it becomes.

Retail traders are so confident in the long position that I’m actually a bit nervous... The on-chain main force slowing down is a very obvious signal, probably indicating a wave of panic selling. The main force quietly slowing down in the early hours—this is the real story. How many times have we suffered losses like this... 857 million in a short squeeze sounds intense, but it’s only 1.7 dollars away from the previous high? This level is ridiculous, definitely a support level. Don’t chase the high; waiting for a pullback is the right approach. The 127-129 range is the real sweet spot. Sell as soon as it hits 126.5, no need to hesitate. Set your stop-loss properly and then go back to sleep. A sharp decline in a bull market = a signal to add positions. I’ve heard this phrase so many times, but it’s still hard to execute. Repeat it silently three times... High-probability entry is the key to making money, not going all-in and giving away your money. I believe in a short-term rebound to 145-150, but shorting during the big weekly cycle is a better move... That’s a bold judgment.
