Recently, traders have been continuously adjusting their positions, especially optimistic about SOL's strong relative strength during the rebound, believing it has the potential to rise to $160-$200. They think that when the market generally lacks reasons to go long, it is often the best entry point. Traders confirm holding SOL, believing that the key point for Bitcoin is whether it can hold the $90,000 level.

【Blockchain Rhythm】Friends who have been watching the market recently may have noticed that some traders are continuously adjusting their position strategies. On January 8th, a viewpoint was expressed: re-adding to SOL. During this rebound, I’ve been looking for a truly worthwhile target to enter, and the final conclusion is—SOL has shown the strongest relative strength among the three major mainstream coins.

From a technical perspective, SOL presents a quite clean trading pattern, with the potential for a wave up to $160 or even $200. The prerequisite is that this round of market can continue, and Bitcoin has a chance to reach $100,000.

Why are we optimistic about SOL? According to traders, SOL is sufficiently “counter consensus.” It’s hard for the market to find enough reasons to go long at the moment, but this is often the best time to enter. When all reasons are laid out on the table, the market has often already completed 50% of its move.

By January 12th, this trader reiterated: the trading plan remains unchanged, holding firmly and waiting for the upward move. His core logic is whether Bitcoin can hold $90,000 is crucial; currently, this pullback is just the first shakeout before an upward move, and a new wave of rise should follow. Such phased adjustments are often normal in a bull market.

ngl, the "contrarian timing" bit hits different when you're actually right about it... but let's be empirically honest here, most traders calling sol the "strongest relative strength" are just chasing momentum with fancy language tbh

This move by SOL is indeed interesting. I've heard the "anti-consensus" theory many times before, but every time, the biggest winners are those who knew in advance, haha.

Counter-consensus is a risky approach; it sounds easy to fall into traps. Every time it's said this way, those who chase highs end up getting trapped.

This move in SOL is indeed interesting; assets that go against consensus often can trigger unexpected market movements.
