The 1-hour monitoring chart is like a double-layer map: the top says "Just have fun," and the bottom marks "Welcome back home to harvest."

The signal is very clear—whales intend to go long, but the chip movements show a clear divergence. On the surface, it can still maintain strength or even trigger a fake-out rally, but the underlying chips are already loosening. Once market sentiment ignites, it can easily turn into a "pull up and then immediately dump" headlong retreat. This is why the system recommends avoiding positions for risk management—not because it’s bearish on SOL itself, but because the 1-hour level no longer offers a good risk-reward for chasing the rally. Instead of following, it’s better to wait until the pattern completes before entering.

The current price of 138 is especially critical, right at the first-tier funding absorption zone of 137.35-139.11. This area is the stage where whales can most easily operate—either to create a false sense of strength or to reverse and dump on retail traders chasing longs.

How to operate? Instead of guessing the market direction at this level, it’s better to recognize a fact: this is the easiest place to get caught. Better to miss some gains than to get pierced by a single needle.

Specifically, if you hold spot or low-leverage long positions, the 137.35-139.11 zone should be a range to reduce or even close positions. Don’t expect to add on here for a breakout. If you really want to go long, wait until the price leaves this zone and then pulls back without breaking below (for example, a rebound above 137.35 to stabilize before rising again). Otherwise, it’s mostly a trap for fake-outs. Once weakness starts around 138, keep a close eye on the support at 134 below.
