There is an old saying in the crypto circle: "Don't chase highs at the top indicator, and when the K-line turns around, get off the bus." Today, SOL's movement vividly demonstrates this principle.



In the early session, SOL surged from 138.2 all the way to 140.24. At that time, market sentiment was hot, and many traders were shouting about breaking the previous high. But looking at the 4-hour chart, the J value of the KDJ indicator was already close to 90, and the price also touched the upper band of the Bollinger Bands—these two signals combined basically indicate "bullish momentum is about to exhaust." Therefore, at the 139.8 level, I directly suggested taking partial profits in batches. Half an hour later, SOL retraced to 138.73, allowing the first batch of traders to easily realize a 1.5% intraday profit.

Regarding news, there were indeed reports this morning within the circle about an institution increasing its holdings of SOL, but that was more of an emotional catalyst. The real focus should be on the technical aspect: the MACD's DIF and DEA are still sticking above the zero line, and the green bars show no signs of expanding, indicating that the bearish force has not fully taken over. However, the red bars are shrinking, which hints that the bullish momentum is waning—that's the fundamental reason why chasing high is not recommended.

By noon, some traders shared their positions: entered at 138.5, sold half at 140, and wondered what to do with the rest. My advice is to hold tightly at the 138 support level; if it breaks, exit all positions. By 2 PM, SOL dipped to a low of 138.1. Although it didn't effectively break the support, the repeated oscillations around this level indicate the market is testing repeatedly. The key is whether it can hold above the rising trendline—only then can the bottom position be maintained; if it breaks, a decisive stop-loss is necessary.

Damn, anyone can see that KDJ is approaching 90, but the key is whether it can really stop. By the way, how are the guys who chased in at 140 doing now? If the 138 level breaks, I’ll go all-in on short positions. I’ve long stopped trusting these news catalysts; I still rely on the honesty of the K-line. If the red柱 shrinks, so be it; the real concern is if it continues to fall in the afternoon.

hypothesis: the bridging gap between momentum exhaustion and institutional narratives is precisely where most retail traders get liquidated... kdj kissing 90 is basically the oracle network screaming sell signals but nobody's listening to the protocol lol

This wave of SOL, indeed, you need to grasp the rhythm; otherwise, chasing highs can easily get you trapped.

Yeah, this round was indeed played well. The KDJ sticking at 90 and still chasing high really makes you reflect. How many times have I said that indicator dulling, and some people still get caught up? If I can't hold 138, I'll just clear everything—no more betting on support levels. I heard some institution increased their holdings, but is this it? Are institutions cutting us off or what? When the red柱 shrinks, you should run. Those who chase high and eat noodles deserve it. I already bailed out at 140 this morning. Looking back, it’s so satisfying. When KDJ reaches the end, it’s time to reduce positions. The logic is so simple. I entered at 138.5, now probably feeling anxious. Cutting losses promptly is the best. The MACD signal shows the bulls are losing strength. Why are some still chasing? Break the support line and don’t hesitate—liquidating and walking away is the way to go.
