Analysts estimate these firms could <strong>net $3 billion, $1 billion, and $150 million,<\/strong> respectively, if they sell post-unlock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, crypto commentators like <strong>artchick.eth<\/strong> and <strong>RunnerXBT<\/strong> warn of risks. Last month, artchick.eth highlighted that 15 million SOL (worth $7 billion) will flood markets by April, compounding existing inflation-driven supply.<strong> \u201cAnother $1 billion in SOL could be dumped via inflation alone,\u201d <\/strong>she cautioned.<\/p><div class=\"trade-content_2\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\" id=\"trade-2880661817\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4023722985638610\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Trade Brains  - In_content -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4023722985638610\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"2055721573\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>$7 Billion Unlock Schedule<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Solana\u2019s token release plan, <strong>February <\/strong>kicks off with <strong>4.8 million SOL<\/strong> ($960 million) entering circulation. <strong>March<\/strong> triples this volume, unleashing <strong>12.5 million tokens<\/strong> ($2.5 billion) purchased cheaply by institutions. By <strong>April<\/strong>, cumulative unlocks will total <strong>15 million SOL<\/strong>, per blockchain data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Galaxy Digital\u2019s managing director, <strong>Kelly Greer<\/strong>, downplayed concerns, noting the unlock represents just <strong>2.31% of SOL\u2019s total supply<\/strong>.<strong> \u201cDaily trading volumes exceed $3.6 billion,\u201d <\/strong>Greer argued, suggesting markets could absorb the sell pressure. However, critics counter that panic selling could amplify downside risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Short Sellers Circle as Sentiment Sours<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Futures markets reveal growing bearish bets. <strong>Open interest for SOL surged 40% in 48 hours<\/strong>, while funding rates are increasingly gravitating toward negative territory. This is a clear sign that shorts dominate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cThis is SOL\u2019s largest OI spike ever,\u201d<\/strong> warned <strong>HORSE<\/strong>, a former prop trader. The shift accelerated after<strong> SOL broke below $190<\/strong>, a key psychological support level. <strong>Technical analyst Deftsuo<\/strong>, however, called the <strong>FUD<\/strong> \u201coverblown,\u201d citing Solana\u2019s upcoming Firedancer upgrade and potential ETF applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Technical Charts Flash Warning Signs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SOL\u2019s price slid 30% in four weeks<\/strong>, partly pricing in unlock fears. However, losing the $180 support zone could trigger a steeper drop. This plunge is likely to stay between $155 &#8211; $168 if bearish momentum persists. This range was last tested in November 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another <strong>red flag<\/strong> emerges on the daily chart: SOL closing below its 200-day exponential moving average (DMA) for the first time since October 2023. A sustained break below this level often precedes extended downtrends, potentially validating short sellers bets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Community Views<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Retail investors voice unease on social platforms.<strong> \u201cUnlocks and pump-and-dump schemes make SOL risky,\u201d<\/strong> tweeted one trader, likening Solana\u2019s situation to <strong>Terra\u2019s (LUNA) collaps<\/strong>e. Others fear regulators could target SOL if volatility escalates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Influencers hyping $1,000 price targets face backlash as Solana-based memecoins like LIBRA crash. Meanwhile, the network\u2019s association with FTX, despite no direct ties, adds lingering stigma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>To Hold, Short, or Sell? The Million-Dollar Question<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With conflicting signals, SOL\u2019s path remains murky. Long-term bulls highlight Solana\u2019s speed and institutional backing, while bears cite dilution risks and technical breakdowns. Traders eyeing shorts may capitalise on panic but face volatility from potential ETF news or upgrade timelines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>History offers little guidance. While past unlocks saw muted impacts, current macroeconomic headwinds and crypto-specific fears intensify uncertainty. As $2 billion in tokens hit markets, Solana\u2019s resilience, or lack thereof, could redefine its 2025 trajectory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The clock ticks for SOL holders. In a market where narratives shift hourly, adaptability may trump conviction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"trade-after-content\" id=\"trade-4163812112\">Disclaimer: This content does not have journalistic\/editorial involvement of Trade Brains Team.
