$SOL Didn’t “Crash” — This Was a Calculated Liquidation Hunt

This SOL move wasn’t a sudden crash at all. It was a premeditated liquidation game 😤

Traders who went long around the $130–$150 range were clearly targeted. Even low-leverage longs got wiped out — most liquidations hit in the $100–$96 zone. For days, the market was moving sideways and choppy between $117–$125 and $130–$146. Longs were being accumulated, leverage was building… and then BOOM 💥 — whales collected the money. 💸

Now that we’re below the low $100s, long liquidations are almost done. The next likely target? High-leverage shorts (25x, 50x, 100x). That’s how this market works — sad but true. When retail piles in, price often moves against them. In crypto, the old supply-demand logic doesn’t always apply anymore. Whales and bots, often working alongside exchanges, have far more control.

Did you see that wick to $196? It lasted barely a minute — just enough to hunt liquidations. Pure manipulation, full on.

Look at the numbers:

Over $2.5 BILLION liquidated across the crypto market in the last 12 hours

Bigger than Covid and even FTX crash liquidations 😱

Overall market heavily down

SOL trading around $103–$105, down 12–14% in 24h (based on recent data)

My take is clear: a bounce is likely soon. High-leverage shorts are now exposed, especially around the $110 zone, where a lot of liquidations sit. A reclaim of $110 is possible in the next few hours if momentum builds — and from there, upside can follow.

But remember: this game is risky and heavily manipulated. Either trade with low leverage, or stick to spot if you truly believe in SOL long term.
