According to a post on X (formerly Twitter), the whale dumped 10,000 SOL worth $1.45 million to OKX and another 10,000 SOL worth $1.45 million to Binance.

However, during the Asian trading hours market was quite bullish, with SOL making a high of $148.6. However, as Gold reached a new all-time high, it affected the overall cryptocurrency market, including SOL.
Meanwhile, SOL’s trading volume has increased by over 16% in the last 24 hours, indicating higher participation from traders.
This sharp fall from $148.6 to $142.04 level has shifted the market sentiment to bearish. According to expert technical analysis, SOL is currently at a crucial support level of $140, while also getting support from the 200 Exponential Moving Average (EMA) on a daily time.

It is crucial for SOL to stay above the 200 EMA, if it holds, there is a high possibility that the price will rebound. On the other hand, If SOL fails to hold and drops below the 200 EMA, there is a high chance it could fall to the $130 level or even lower.
Meanwhile, SOL’s open interest has also dropped by 1.5% in the last 24 hours, suggesting reduced interest from traders and investors.
