Solana Price Faces Uncertainty as Breakout Meets Aggressive Holder Exits

Solana's recent price action has sparked both optimism and concern among investors. The cryptocurrency has broken above an inverse head-and-shoulders neckline on the 12-hour chart, which often signals a trend reversal and offers more than 50% upside potential.

However, this breakout is occurring while long-term holders are exiting aggressively, with nearly 50% of their SOL holdings distributed since February 8. This raises concerns about the sustainability of the breakout and the risk of a bull trap.

The combination of rising open interest and positive funding rates suggests that traders are positioning for further upside. However, this also means that if the breakout fails, these leveraged longs could be forced to sell, accelerating the downside move.
