Solana has been struggling with selling pressure as the broader market feels the weight of a correction that has tested support levels across the ecosystem. The price is under stress — and data from Arkham Intelligence has identified a specific institutional transaction that adds a direct supply dimension to the current weakness on one of the most closely watched blockchains in crypto. Related Reading: HYPE Defies Market Selloff As Whales Withdraw Another $108M From Exchanges Forward Industries — a publicly traded company that has been building a Solana treasury strategy, accumulating SOL as a primary reserve asset in a model that draws direct comparison to MicroStrategy&#8217;s Bitcoin approach — has deposited 455,784 SOL worth approximately $31.87 million to Coinbase Prime after a month of complete inactivity. Forward Industries moves Solana to Coinbase | Source: Arkham A company that has been building a SOL treasury and has shown no exchange-directed activity for a full month, choosing this specific moment to move nearly $32 million worth of Solana to Coinbase Prime, describes a deliberate decision rather than routine portfolio management. Whether the deposit represents preparation for selling, a financing arrangement, or strategic repositioning is the question the Arkham data raises — and the answer carries direct implications for Solana&#8217;s ability to hold current support levels. Forward Industries Is Sitting on a Massive Loss The Arkham data reveals the full scale of what Forward Industries has built — and what the market has done to it since. Since launching its Solana treasury strategy in September 2025, the company has deployed approximately $1.59 billion to acquire 6.83 million SOL at an average price of $232.08 per token. At current prices, those 6.83 million SOL are worth approximately $458.6 million. The unrealized loss on the position sits at roughly $1.13 billion — a drawdown of approximately 71% from the average entry price that places Forward Industries in a significantly underwater position on what was intended to be a long-term strategic reserve. Related Reading: Bitcoin’s Most Important Metric Flashes Warning As Bulls Fight To Hold $60K The context that makes the Coinbase Prime deposit alarming is the combination of that loss magnitude and the preceding month of inactivity. A company sitting on $1.13 billion in unrealized losses that has been dormant for a month and then moves $31.87 million worth of SOL to an institutional execution venue during a market selloff is a company facing questions that the deposit alone cannot answer. Whether the Prime deposit represents a financing arrangement against the existing position, a partial liquidation to manage balance sheet pressure, or a strategic repositioning decision is the question the market is now pricing into Solana&#8217;s current price action — and the answer will determine whether the $31.87 million deposit is the beginning of a larger supply event or an isolated operational movement. Solana Breakdown Accelerates As Bears Target February Lows Solana remains under intense selling pressure, with the daily chart showing a decisive breakdown below the multi-month consolidation range that held between roughly $80 and $90 throughout March, April, and most of May. After losing support near the 200-day moving average, sellers quickly regained control and pushed SOL toward the $66 area, its lowest level since the February capitulation event. Solana setting fresh lows | Source: SOLUSDT chart on TradingView The technical structure has deteriorated significantly. SOL now trades below the 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day moving averages, with all three averages sloping downward. This alignment confirms a bearish trend across multiple timeframes and suggests that rallies are likely to face heavy resistance rather than attract sustained buying. Related Reading: Bitcoin Falls Below $66K As Short-Term Holder Stress Reaches February Levels Volume has also expanded during the decline, indicating that the recent move is supported by aggressive participation rather than a lack of liquidity. The large red candles seen during the breakdown reinforce the idea that sellers remain dominant despite oversold conditions. From a price structure perspective, the February low near $63-$65 has become the most important support zone on the chart. This area previously triggered a strong recovery and now represents the bulls&#8217; final line of defense. A decisive break below it could open the door toward the psychological $60 level and potentially lower. Featured image from ChatGPT, chart from TradingView.com
