- A clean stop hunt occurred on the m5 before Solana ran into overhead liquidity
- The 30-minute chart shows bullish potential with liquidity still resting above
- A dip below current price to trap shorts is possible before continuation higher
In the last article, I shared a short-term opportunity for the scalpers and intra-day warriors.
We were eyeing the 5-minute chart, watching Solana react off a juicy little demand zone — the kind that just feels right when you’re watching the candles form.
Price had left clear liquidity above, and it looked like we were early to something good.
Well, turns out we were a little too early.
The Classic Setup… with a Twist
So what happened?
Solana dropped just enough to trigger our stop losses, only to reverse and go grab all the liquidity above — exactly like we thought it might.
Now, I know what you’re thinking: “Couldn’t we have avoided that?” Maybe.
Technically, yes — the true invalidation was actually below the lowest low, since that’s the lower low that led to the new higher high. That’s what makes it structurally valid.
But for risk-reward reasons, I chose a tighter stop.
You’ve been there, right? That balancing act between conviction and discipline. Sometimes tighter stops work beautifully. Sometimes they get hunted before the move even breathes. That was the case here.
M30 Structure: Liquidity Above, Trap Below?
Now let’s zoom out and take a breath.
On the 30-minute chart, the structure is much cleaner. We’re in a clear bullish range. And here’s where it gets spicy — price has left a big chunk of liquidity sitting above. Y
ou know what that usually means: it’s going to attract price like a magnet.
But before we get there?
I wouldn’t be surprised if Solana dips lower first, just enough to tap into the liquidity resting below current price. A little fakeout — the kind that makes everyone go “oh no, it’s dumping,” right before it reverses and rockets upward.
This happened to me back in 2023 on another altcoin setup — exact same vibe. Everyone panic-sold, I hesitated, and then boom… +30% in 12 hours. I still think about that one.
It’s a Game of Possibilities, Not Guarantees
I’ll never pretend to predict the market with 100% certainty. That’s just not how this works. The structures I’m laying out? They’re scenarios, not promises.
The market has a mind of its own. One minute it’s behaving like a textbook — the next, it’s punking every trader on the planet.
But this is what makes it so addictive, right?
So — watch the levels. Understand the liquidity map. And don’t marry any bias. If Solana does what we’ve mapped, great. If it doesn’t, we adapt. That’s the game.
