Solana whale $163M unstaking dump risk

Key Questions

What is the risk from the Solana whale unstaking?

A Solana whale unstaked $163M worth of SOL on April 11, followed by a 2M SOL dump to exchanges, increasing sell pressure. This coincides with a DRIFT $285M hack.

What technical setup threatens a 20% drop in Solana?

Solana tests a head-and-shoulders pattern with a $62 neckline, targeting a 20% drop from $79.90 on bearish Fibs at $22.50. Negative funding at -0.02% and $871M OI add to downside risks.

Are there any positive factors for Solana price?

$35M ETP inflows provide some support, with potential bounces to $75, $78, or $83 if the H&S neckline holds. However, whale dumps and neg funding dominate.
