After several days of a downward trend in the price of Solana, the altcoin flipped into bullish territory, as it targets the pivotal $200 threshold. During this period of negative price action, investors’ interest in the leading altcoin seems to have increased sharply, leading to their massive BTC buys.
Whales Are Quietly Accumulating SOL
Even with the recent decline in price, a bullish sentiment and action have been observed among key Solana investors. From the report from Solana Sensei, a market expert and OG Investor, it can be seen that large investors, also known as whales, are making bold moves in the midst of market volatility.
In the report shared on the social media platform X, the expert highlighted that whales are heavily loading up on SOL, which has triggered questions of an impending rally in SOL’s price. This renewed strong wave of accumulation from large investors is being carried out at a discount.
Such a development signals a resurgence of the confidence and interest of investors in the altcoin’s ongoing price action and its long-term potential. As the network continues to show resilience, scalability, and expanding domination across decentralized applications and DeFi activities, deep-pocketed investors’ renewed confidence highlights their growing belief in Solana’s long-term potential.
Given the rising accumulation by large investors, the expert is confident that SOL’s path to the $1,000 price mark could begin in the foreseeable future. Meanwhile, Ali Martinez, a crypto analyst and trader, has outlined a potential bounce in SOL’s price to a new all-time high in November.
The chart shared by Solana Sensai indicates that Solana exhibits a rising channel pattern, with its price remaining above the $180 mark. According to the seasoned analyst, this positioning could be the setup for a rebound to $230 and pos $290.
SOL Treasuries Decline Still Ongoing
While whale accumulation has grown sharply, Solana treasuries have exhibited lesser accumulation in the last few days. Solana-focused treasury companies appear to be facing a period of sustained decline due to a drop in reserves and activity. When institutional treasuries associated with the ecosystem are reducing their holdings, it signals a cautious stance amid ongoing market uncertainty.
According to Ted Pillows, the steady drop in treasury reserves is not the right outlook for SOL in the short term. This is a result of fading buying pressure from these big entities. The reduction implies that capital allocators are resetting their exposure, possibly paving the way for a strategic reset before the next growth phase.
As the market progresses, Pillows has noted a potential (Federal Reserve) announcement of the Quantitative Tightening (QT). When this occurs, Pillows has predicted that SOL will bottom out soon, which, in the end, will be bullish for SOL.
At the time of writing, Solana was trading at $204, demonstrating a nearly 6% increase in the last 24 hours. Its trading volume has risen sharply by over 103% in the past day, indicating growing optimism among investors and traders.
