The market continues to consolidate today, with BTC repeatedly testing around $95,000, while ETH hovers around $3,300. This relatively calm market actually makes for an interesting scene — it gives us ample time to study those assets that have been unfairly beaten down.

Recently, my attention to SOL has increased significantly, mainly because there are several signals worth noting:

First is the continuous influx of institutional funds. The inflow volume of ETFs is evident; this is not retail sentiment, but real institutional support. Secondly, from a technical perspective, SOL has fallen from a high of $295 down to $144, with a single-sided decline of over 51%. This depth has already entered the obvious oversold territory. Plus, with the Firedancer upgrade just launched and operational, handling speeds of 1 million TPS truly represent a leap in industry standards, providing confidence for future ecosystem expansion.

Regarding specific trading strategies, my personal approach is firmly against all-in positions. Instead of going all-in at once, it’s better to set different levels for deployment, which helps diversify risk and maintain a more resilient mindset against volatility:

The first level is set at $140-145, serving as a testing zone near the current price. The second level is at $130-135, as an opportunity for medium-term accumulation. The third level is at $120-125, acting as the final line of defense.

The benefits of this approach are obvious — even if there’s still room for short-term decline, you still hold enough ammunition to respond, and staggered entries can significantly lower the average cost. Managing your mindset is more important than anything else; you won’t fall into a passive position just because of a sudden dip.

As for the outlook, I believe that if BTC can hold above $92,000, altcoins should follow with a rebound. For SOL, the short-term target is around $160, with $200 as the next milestone. Looking further ahead, returning to the previous high of $295 is highly probable, which means there’s room for a doubling.

To sum up simply: the essence of consolidation is the best window for positioning, and many altcoins’ opportunities are brewing during this phase. When others are panicking, that’s precisely the best time to get in.
