Solana Price: Longs Get Crushed – What's Going On?

author:Adaradar Published on:2025-11-04

Alright, let's get one thing straight: Wall Street "going all-in" on crypto usually means they're trying to fleece retail investors, not revolutionize finance. So, when I see headlines screaming about a $417 million flood into a new Bitwise Solana Staking ETF (BSOL), my first instinct isn't excitement. It's suspicion.

The BSOL Hype Train

This BSOL thing...supposedly, it's opening the floodgates for institutional cash into Solana. Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas is quoted saying it "led all crypto ETPs by a country mile in weekly flows." Okay, Eric. But let's be real: ETFs are just another way for Wall Street to package and sell crypto exposure to people who don't know any better.

The article mentions Grayscale estimating that Solana ETPs could snag 5% of all SOL tokens within two years, which they claim is over $5 billion at current prices. Five billion dollars. Sounds impressive, right? But how much of that is new money, and how much is just shuffling existing assets around to collect fees?

And here's a thought that's been bugging me: If Solana's so great, why does it need Wall Street's validation in the first place? Shouldn't the tech speak for itself?

The Technical Jargon Trap

Then there's the technical analysis. "SOL tests a strong confluence of support and a potential launchpad setup, with the channel’s lower boundary meeting a historic demand zone at $175." Give me a break. This is just fancy talk for "we have no freaking idea what's going to happen, but we'll sound smart while we guess."

They even throw in a descending triangle nearing its apex. What is this, geometry class?

Losing $175, according to the article, could open the door for a 30% drop to $120. But holding it might prep SOL for another breakout attempt. So basically, it could go up, or it could go down. Brilliant analysis.

Oh, and momentum indicators are "mixed." Offcourse they are. When are they ever not?

Meanwhile, Back in Reality...

Look, I get it. People want to believe in the next big thing. They want to get rich quick. And Wall Street is more than happy to sell them that dream, packaged in a shiny new ETF.

But let's not forget what happened the last time Wall Street got "excited" about crypto. Remember the Bitcoin futures ETFs? The promises of institutional adoption? How'd that work out for everyone who bought the top?

And this PepeNode thing? A "simple mine-to-earn game" with "early stakers still earning up to 633% APY?" If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

So, What's the Real Story?

I'm not saying Solana is a scam. Maybe it's the future of finance. Maybe it will hit $1,000. But I'm not betting my rent money on it, and neither should you. Wall Street's involvement usually signals one thing: they're about to make a killing, and it probably won't be you.
