Ask whether SOL can reach 150 or fall back to 135, first you need to understand this—simply looking at SOL's candlestick chart to predict the trend is basically self-deception.

Look at the overall structure of the crypto market: Bitcoin accounts for nearly 60% of the market cap. What does this mean? It means that mainstream coins like SOL simply cannot escape Bitcoin's dominance. Every wave of SOL's price movement is essentially driven by Bitcoin sentiment transmission, not independent market dynamics.

In terms of trading depth, the trading pairs of SOL and BTC are outrageously deep. When BTC rises or falls, it directly determines SOL's USD-denominated price. If BTC can stabilize within this range and break through key resistance levels, market risk appetite will increase, and funds will flow from BTC into mainstream coins like SOL. At that point, SOL can naturally surpass the 150 mark without much effort. Conversely, if BTC pulls back, no matter how technically strong SOL looks or how solid its support is, it will be dragged down, and the 138 level will likely be broken.

Watching whale movements follows the same logic. Large players like WhiteWhale have been active recently; on the surface, they are trading SOL, but in reality, they are betting on the future direction of BTC. The best indicator is the flow of institutional funds—if Bitcoin ETFs continue to buy, profit-taking will gradually shift into coins like SOL, injecting momentum; but if ETFs start to sell off and BTC weakens, large investors will likely sell SOL to cut losses.

So, the trading advice is straightforward: whether you're bullish or bearish, you must treat BTC as the primary reference point. Everything else is just floating clouds.
