Solana faces 21% breakdown with $85-$89 cost-basis wall

Solana (SOL) trades at $91.22 after forming a double top with peaks at $97.66 in late March and $98.35 on May 12. A daily close below the pattern’s neckline at $76.66 would activate a measured 21% downside target relative to the neckline.

Buying volume cooled between the two highs. That reduced volume occurred as the price consolidated in a tight range between the peaks.

On-chain cost-basis data shows the heaviest accumulation between $85.66 and $86.22, where 13,734,525 SOL was acquired, and a secondary cluster between $88.49 and $89.07 holding 8,804,899 SOL. Both clusters sit between the current price and the neckline; a drop past those bands would precede a move toward the neckline.

Short-term technical support includes the 20-day exponential moving average at $89.54 and the 50-day EMA at $88.13, which align with the $88.49–$89.07 cost-basis band.

Exchange net position change moved from an outflow of 501,807 SOL on May 2 to an outflow of 2,286,298 SOL by May 13, a 356% increase in outflows over that period. Net outflows remove tokens from exchanges and reduce available sell-side supply on trading venues.

If SOL fails to hold the EMA cluster and the $85–$86 cost band, the next technical support is the 0.618 Fibonacci zone at $84.96, which overlaps the heaviest cost-basis cluster. A break below that layer would open the 0.786 Fibonacci at $81.31 and then the neckline at $76.66. Further downside extensions noted on the technical map are $63.25 with $60.23 as a deeper floor.

Reclaiming the 0.236 Fibonacci level at $93.25 would move price above a near-term resistance level. A daily close above $98.37 would erase the May high and invalidate the double-top pattern.

A double top is a chart pattern formed by two peaks with a trough between them; its bearish projection depends on a decisive close below the neckline. Exchange net position change measures the net flow of tokens onto or off exchanges and is used to assess potential sell-side supply.
