Tech The Solana Pattern Traders Love Is Actually a 50% Crash Setup Solana price has held a rising channel for more than three months, yet the structure may be hiding the same continuation pattern that powered a collapse of over 50% from mid-January to early February. The token sits roughly 3% above the channels lower trendline. On-chain data shows hodler conviction slipping and short-term holder cushion thinning. The setup is one bad day from breaking.
