A doji star is pinned on the chart, extremely narrow. It hovers right at the middle band of the Bollinger Bands, as if waiting for a signal.



After watching the chart for a few hours, I have to say—SOL's movement is even more perplexing than my morning shot of espresso. The current price is $136.74, with little movement, only a 0.14% decline intraday.

The surface appears calm, but underlying technical indicators are flashing signals wildly. The price is stuck above the middle band of the Bollinger Bands ($136.43), with the upper band at $138.43 and the lower band at $134.42. This narrow channel only allows for a $4 range. Past experience tells me that such extreme narrowing usually signals a big move is coming.

**Bulls and bears are in a key standoff**

Looking at the latest candlestick chart, a few numbers say it all:

On the short-term moving averages, EMA(7) is $136.45, MA(7) is $136.30, and the price is above them, indicating a slight bullish bias in the short term. But turning to the 30-period moving averages—EMA(30) is $136.80, MA(30) is $137.12—the price has fallen below them, showing medium-term resistance quite clearly.

The tug-of-war between short-term and medium-term moving averages explains why the price keeps bouncing around $136.7—neither side can break through.

The Bollinger Bands are already at an extreme. With a width of $4, it's typical of the end of a consolidation phase. Based on market intuition, such extreme narrowing usually evolves into a directional breakout within 1 to 3 trading cycles—question is, whether it breaks upward or downward, we need to wait for further signals.

The Bollinger Bands are so tight, it feels like they might burst at any moment.

Oh, you're just joking around again, smiling on the surface but not genuinely.

Sol is playing dead again, but it's clearly gearing up for a big move.

The Bollinger Bands are so tight, it will explode sooner or later, I just don't know which way it will break, so annoying.

The Bollinger Bands are so tight, they'll definitely break out sooner or later, just not sure in which direction they'll break.

The Bollinger Bands are all squeezed flat; if it doesn't break this time, it would be ridiculous.

Waiting for a signal? Bro, I've been waiting so long my brain is about to explode.

The Bollinger Bands are so narrow, it feels like they might explode at any moment. SOL is either going to skyrocket or crash, but it's a gamble.
