Altcoin volatility essentially creates opportunities for those who dare to accurately grasp the rhythm. SOL's recent performance is a perfect illustration of this logic.

I’ve seen this kind of “extreme narrowing” many times—similar patterns appeared around 90 dollars in April 2024.

On the news front, there are also bright spots. Don’t be fooled by claims like “SOL ecosystem has no new actions.” The DeFi ecosystem on the Solana chain has been continuously iterating and upgrading. Today’s new protocol activity data—
