‘I just bought SOL’ — Arthur Hayes after Solana price rebounds 500%
Arthur Hayes, the former CEO of crypto derivatives exchange BitMEX, has “admitted” to buying Solana’s SOL ( SOL ) at its possible local top, stressing his bullish outlook for the cryptocurrency.
Fam I have something embarrassing I must admit.

I just bot $SOL , I know its a Sam-coin piece of dogshit L1 that at this point is just a meme. But it is going up, and I'm a degen.
Let's Fucking Go!
SOL’s price has rallied 500% in 11 months
Hayes’ self-admitted SOL purchase occurred after it had already rebounded 500% from its market bottom near $8 in December 2022.
In addition, the purchase came days after VanEck, an asset management firm supervising $76.4 billion worth of assets, predicted a 10,600% SOL price rally by 2030 , citing Solana’s ability to capture the market share of its top layer-1 blockchain rival, Ethereum.
In addition, an analyst from FieryTrading predicted that once Solana breaks the resistance at $38, it could be headed for another 150% increase.
In October 2023 alone, SOL price gained an impressive 80% and recently reached its 14-month high of around $46.75.

Solana most “overbought” since January
However, technical and fundamental signals are warning of a potential 30% price drop in November.
Notably, SOL’s relentless uptrend in recent months has pushed its daily relative strength index (RSI) , a momentum indicator, to its most overbought levels since January 2023. From a technical standpoint, overbought RSI readings prompt the underlying assets to correct or consolidate.
In SOL’s case, the possibility of undergoing a sharp correction in November looks more likely. That is primarily due to a fractal analysis, which shows SOL’s overbought RSIs preceding 35%–50% price corrections throughout 2023, as shown below.

A break below it could have SOL bears test the cryptocurrency’s ascending trendline support near $26 as their next downside target.

The $26 target, down about 37.50% from current price levels, was instrumental in capping SOL’s downside attempts in June 2022.
