Solana's governance proposals could raise daily fee burns from roughly 650 SOL to as much as 9,000 SOL while speeding up the slowdown of new token creation — a direct supply cut. That matters more right now because the broader crypto market is in a strong risk-on phase: Bitcoin just had its second-best week since early 2021 on ETF inflows and a weaker dollar. On top of that, Strategy has raised another $2 billion and built a $5.1 billion cash pool it can deploy into crypto, adding a large standing buyer to the market. Fewer new SOL tokens plus strong demand is the classic setup for a supply-demand imbalance that favors higher prices.

Verdict: a real supply story with no live entry — wait
The bull case here is a genuine supply-demand story: per the CoinDesk piece, a Solana governance vote could lift daily fee burns from roughly 650 SOL to as many as 9,000 SOL — about $800,000 of SOL destroyed per day — while slowing new token creation, landing during a strong risk-on phase where Bitcoin just posted its second-best week since early 2021. The problem is that almost none of it has happened yet: the burn increase is still a vote that could be amended or rejected, the Strategy cash pool ($2B raised, $5.1B deployable) has no stated SOL allocation, and SOL itself is at $94.04 with RSI at 90.5 — deep overbought territory that is the exact opposite of the strategy's confirmed-reversal entry (a close back near the 50-day average around $77.5 with momentum turning up through 45). The entry rules produced zero triggers across 1,796 evaluated daily bars, the research author judged the simultaneous three-condition entry unnecessarily strict, and the bounded optimization returned no nearby-parameter recommendation within its time budget — so no robust alternative setup was established. Meanwhile the risk plan embeds a roughly 2.3% hard stop against 4.5% take-profit, which is extremely tight for an asset with roughly 65% annualized volatility. Conviction: thesis support 55, trade readiness 15, risk quality 35, trigger proximity 10, fundamentals trend 45.
Trade now
SOL last closed at $94.04, but this is a **wait** situation, not a buy-now situation — and the market state explains why in one number: RSI (14) is at 90.5 against an entry that needs momentum *turning up* through 45. The strategy's entry is a confirmed-reversal setup: a daily close at or above the 20-day Bollinger band (~$77.55 now), a close crossing back above the 50-day EMA (~$77.51), and RSI crossing above 45 — ideally in the same session. At current levels, price is roughly $16.49 above the band and $16.52 above the EMA, and momentum is deep in overbought territory, roughly 45 points above the 45 threshold. In other words, you'd need a full round trip down and a turn back up before any entry condition is live. Worth knowing: the entry rules did not open a single position across the 1,796 daily bars evaluated (60 months), so treat this as a watch-list setup with live levels rather than an active signal. The research author requested a bounded optimization, judging the compiled thresholds (simultaneous band touch, EMA reclaim, and momentum cross in one session) unnecessarily strict for an ordinary pullback-reversal pattern — but the sensitivity evaluation ran out of its time budget and returned no nearby-parameter recommendation, so no robust alternative setup has been established. Position sizing, if triggered, is fixed-risk: 2.26% of capital at risk, capped at 25% of the position. If an entry does trigger on a future pullback-and-reclaim, the exits are tight: a hard stop at -2.26% and a take-profit at +4.52% (roughly 2:1 reward-to-risk against the percentage stops), plus a structural stop below the second-ranked support level and a Fibonacci-based take-profit. Given SOL's annualized volatility around 65%, a 2.3% stop is easily shaken out — expect that leg of the plan to dominate. Concretely, "wait" means: do nothing today. The setup becomes actionable only when SOL pulls back to the mid-$70s (band and EMA zone), and even then only on a day when RSI crosses back above 45 — momentum turning up, not just price touching support. Chasing at $94 with RSI near 90 is the exact opposite of the strategy's design.
