Solana: Sell the Rip into 201 — Targeting the 192 Fibonacci/Kijun Confluence

Executive summary and bias

Short-term bias (next 24h): Bearish-to-neutral with a Sell-the-rip edge. Expect a relief bounce toward 199.5–201.5 that likely fails, followed by another leg into 195.5–192.5 if sellers maintain control. Lower-probability bullish invalidation on a sustained reclaim and hold above 204.2–205.0.
Preferred setup: Fade a rally into the 200.5–201.5 supply with a tight risk, targeting the 50–61.8% retracement pocket at 196.0 → 192.0.

Higher timeframe (daily) context since mid-August: Impulsive advance from 176.1 (Aug 20) to 216.09 (Aug 28), then a sequence of lower highs: 216.1 → 217.8 (Aug 29 marginal HH) → 206.5 (Aug 31) → today’s intraday 204.1. Structure is a corrective pullback within a broader uptrend.
Today’s candle (so far): Open ~200.87, high 204.14, low 196.98, last ~197.42. A red day closing near the lows on higher volume vs prior two sessions indicates distribution pressure and failed attempts to reclaim 200–204.
Key zones from daily swings:
- Resistance: 200.8–201.9 (38.2% fib, Tenkan, overhead supply), 203.7–205.0 (R1 pivot confluence and breakdown shelf), 208.5–211.8 (R2/late-Aug cluster).
- Support: 196.0–196.2 (50% fib of 176.1→216.1), 192.0–192.6 (61.8% fib and multi-day cluster), then 189–190 and 186–187 (prior bases).
Hourly structure: A series of LH/LLs all session; repeated rejections 200.0–200.6 and 202.2–204.1. Price is riding the lower side of the intraday range with shallow bounces—classic sign of seller control.

Daily 5-SMA ≈ 205.3 (price below) → short-term bearish momentum.
Daily 10-SMA ≈ 202.0 (price below) → near-term trend under pressure.
Daily 20-SMA ≈ 195.1 (price modestly above) → corrective pullback within an intact intermediate uptrend; the 20-SMA acts as a magnet/support just below.
Daily 50-SMA (approx mid- to high-170s) well below price → primary uptrend still intact.
Hourly 20/50 EMAs (qualitative): Price trading below both throughout the US session; the 20<50 alignment and persistent failures to reclaim the 50EMA indicate momentum remains to the downside intraday.

Daily RSI (est.): Cooled from prior overbought; sitting near the midline (≈48–52), allowing room for another push lower before oversold conditions trigger strong dip-buying.
Hourly RSI: Spent time in the 30s with shallow mean-reversion bounces; structure favors sell-the-bounce until hourly RSI can hold above 50 with price acceptance back over 201–202.
MACD (daily, qualitative): Histogram has rolled over from the Aug 28–29 peak; signal-line cross likely near here, consistent with a multi-session corrective phase. Hourly MACD beneath zero supports continuation lower unless we get a firm reclaim of 201–202.

Recent daily ranges: 5.8–17.4 dollars; realized ATR is elevated versus early August. A reasonable 24h expectation band from 197.4 is c. 191–203. This accommodates a bounce to 200–202 and a subsequent test of 196 → 192.

Daily BB: Price is near the 20MA center line (~195). After the late-Aug expansion, bands are still relatively wide; a tag of the mid-band and slip below is plausible, opening the door to the lower band drift if momentum persists.
Hourly BB: Price has hugged the lower band for hours; bounces to the mid-band (≈200–201) have been sold—this favors fading those mid-band tags.

Daily: Tenkan ≈ 201.9, Kijun ≈ 187.0 (using last-9 and last-26 high/low midpoints). Price below Tenkan but above Kijun: bullish medium-term regime with near-term correction. A classic mean-reversion path is Tenkan rejection → Kijun test (i.e., 187–192 pocket).
Hourly: Price below cloud; projected cloud flatness near 200–201 implies strong resistance. Until an hourly close above the cloud (≈201–202), sellers retain the edge.

38.2%: 200.8 – repeatedly rejected overnight/morning.
50%: 196.1 – tested today (196.98 low) and acting as intraday support.
61.8%: 191.4 – aligns with a dense daily node (Aug 24–26) and Ichimoku Kijun pull.
Expectation: 200.8–201.9 remains the ideal fade zone; failure there likely resolves into a 196 retest and, on momentum continuation, a probe toward 192±1.

Volume rose into today’s down move vs the prior two sessions—distribution footprint, not capitulation.
Visible supply clusters: 200–205 (heavy recent trading), 208–212 (late-Aug top). Demand clusters: 186–192, then 175–180. The current print at 197.4 is parked just under a thick supply shelf—favorable for tactical shorts into that shelf.

PP ≈ 202.68; R1 ≈ 203.70; R2 ≈ 208.53; S1 ≈ 198.85; S2 ≈ 196.83.
Today: Rejected around the R1/PP zone early; traded down through S1 and tested S2 (low ~196.98). Textbook pivot behavior—suggests rallies into PP/R1 (≈202–204) are sellable unless reclaimed decisively.

Intraday behavior shows repeated fades below ~200; price is spending more time under the likely session VWAP. Until we see acceptance above VWAP (sustained trade >200–201 with rising delta), the path of least resistance remains down/sideways.

Daily: Sequence of lower highs and today’s near-low close suggests bears in control; not yet a reversal candle (no long lower wick). A bullish reaction would typically present a hammer or a strong lower-tail day at 192–196; absent that, continuation risk remains.
Hourly: Multiple upper wicks at 199.5–200.6 and 202.2–204.1 highlight supply. No bullish engulfing/reversal clusters yet.

Impulse up (176→216) followed by an ABC corrective phase: A to ~200.9, B to ~206.5, and a developing C targeting the 0.5–0.618 retracement (196→191). This dovetails with Ichimoku mean reversion and fib confluence.

Bearish confluences near entry: 200.8–201.9 (38.2% fib, Tenkan daily, hourly cloud/BB mid, PP/R1 zone, supply shelf).
Downside targets: 196.0 (50% fib/S2 pivot memory) then 192.0±1 (61.8% fib + daily node + Kijun draw).
Invalidation: Strong hourly close >204.2 and day reclaim >205 would negate the immediate short, opening 208.5–211.8.
Risk management (not part of requested fields but essential): For a short entry 200.9, a protective stop 204.6 (above the 204.1–205 shelf) yields c. 3.7 risk vs 8.7 reward to 192.2 (RR ≈ 2.3:1). Conservative TP1 at 196.2 to pay risk, then trail for 192.2.

Base case (60%): Early bounce toward 199.8–201.5 meets supply; fade drives price to 196.0; extension test into 193–192 if momentum persists.
Alt bullish (25%): Aggressive dip buy lifts price above 202.7 PP, acceptance over 204.2 triggers squeeze toward 206–208; corrective low would be set.
Tail risk (15%): Accelerated selloff without bounce, slicing through 196 to 191–189 quickly; would look for reversal candles there.

Decision logic

Momentum, structure, and confluence favor selling into strength rather than chasing lows. The 200.8–201.5 band is the optimal entry given overlapping resistances and measured risk.
