In the case of SOL, the price has fallen by 2.93%, suggesting that the increased trades could indicate selling pressure. The asset recently hit a new weekly low, trading at $199.39.
However, this decline has pushed the SOL into a support zone on the weekly chart – a level that has historically been associated with strong buying interest. This support could trigger a potential price rebound in the short term.

SOL bond outflows increase as belief changes
High outflows of SOL from the exchanges indicate that spot traders are moving their assets into wallets, meaning there is a potential long-term commitment despite the recent market decline.
Typically, spot traders deposit more assets into exchanges during such conditions. However, the current trend of pullbacks indicates increased bullish sentiment.
As of now, the Exchange Netflow is heavily negative, with over $264 million worth of SOL disappearing from the exchanges in the last 96 hours. $46.26 million worth of SOL was withdrawn in the last 24 hours alone, contributing to market strength after a further decline.

Moreover, the market’s funding rate remains positive at 0.0057%, indicating that bullish long traders pay a periodic fee to maintain the balance between spot and futures market prices.
If this trend of increasing withdrawals and positive financing rates continues, SOL could be on track to reach new price highs.
Long liquidations set the stage for a bullish shift
There have been massive, long liquidations in the market over the past 24 hours, losing $21.35 million. This happens when the price of an asset moves downward, contrary to the upward bets of long traders, leading to huge losses.
While this is bearish, there is a gradual shift visible at lower timeframes, reflecting a change in trader sentiment.

Furthermore, Open Interest grew by 0.62% over the same period, reaching a total of $3.52 billion. This increase indicates bullish momentum as the majority of unsettled derivative contracts are now positioned in favor of upward price movements.
