Solana has fallen over 50% from its all-time high—what opportunities might be hidden in this correction?

Many traders are now caught in a dilemma: should they buy the dip and bet on a rebound, or continue to be bearish and wait for bottom signals? Market sentiment swings between fear and greed. From a technical perspective, such deep retracements often harbor the potential for major reversals. But the prerequisite is to confirm whether the bottom support truly holds.

The key question is—are the current price levels a value zone or a downtrend continuation? Short-term volatility is intense, but the long-term outlook deserves a fresh assessment. No one can precisely catch the bottom, but under such extreme emotions, there is often the starting point for the next wave of gains.

What’s your view? Is it time to position or continue to wait patiently?

SOL-0,15%

A 50% drop... to be honest, it's a bit nerve-wracking, but I will still slowly buy some in the bottom range. Anyway, I don't really know where the true bottom is.

It dropped another 50%, I already completely sold out a long time ago.

well, *actually* if you look at the order flow data, sol's liquidation cascade didn't even hit proper support yet... everyone's calling "bottom" but the on-chain metrics say otherwise tbh

50% drop? Playing roller coaster here... If it really hits bottom, I'll buy in, but who the hell knows where the bottom is.

SOL's recent drop is really sharp. Now I'm torn between whether to buy the dip or wait for it to fall further.

SOL has dropped so much again, I started averaging down early, now it's just a matter of who can hold out until the rebound day. Averaging down is a skill that requires mental resilience. I can't withstand the bearish narratives anymore. Honestly, I wouldn't go all-in before the bottom support is confirmed; being a bit cautious helps you last longer. People still hesitating now probably haven't experienced the last bull market. Wait, is it possible that this is just the eve of a major reversal? I'm placing a bet. A 50% decline is a normal correction, no need to panic, just stay put. People adding to their positions now are either gamblers or true believers. I'm a gambler. Don't ask me when the best time to average down is; I don't know either, just going for it. Long-term bullish on SOL's ecosystem, short-term it can fall as much as it wants, I don't look at candlestick charts.

A 50% drop is really nothing; I've seen worse... The key is where the bottom actually is. To be honest, those adding positions at this level are gamblers; I think I'll wait a bit longer. Trying to catch the bottom is purely luck-based; rather than messing around blindly, it's better to look at other opportunities. SOL dropped again? I'm used to it; I already cut my losses long ago. Before the bottom signals appear, I don't believe anyone's words. This round of correction has a significant rebound potential, but the prerequisite is to stay alive and wait for that day.

Oh my, the RSI has dropped close to the ground, this is the real fueling moment. The lower band of the Bollinger Bands is about to touch. According to my angle coefficient calculation, the rebound probability is quite high, it all depends on whether it can break through that gravitational resistance level. Honestly, I've never seen such a clear launch window. Once the escape velocity is confirmed, it's definitely the starting point of the next major upward wave. Continue to wait? Bro, you're still watching when the decline is at 50%, isn't that just missing the preparation phase for the rocket launch? The technical signals are already there, it all depends on who dares to position themselves in extreme emotions. When the time comes, you'll have to thank today's panic sell-off. It's a mindset issue. Once the bottom support is established, this price range will directly turn into a gold mine. Don't wait until the countdown ends to regret it.
