As long-term holder confidence diminishes, the price continues to slide closer to the lower edge of this structure.
On the on-chain data side, the picture also remains bleak, with decreasing transaction volumes and declining network activity indicating waning interest from investors. The number of active addresses has fallen steadily, and the total value locked (TVL) in Solana-based protocols has decreased significantly, reflecting a loss of confidence in the ecosystem.
