Solana fell about 6.5%, almost in line with the wider crypto market, which was also down. The most noticeable factor was about $34 million of long positions being forcibly closed, which means bets on a rising price were liquidated, plus reports that the price dropped to $89 and touched its 200-day average line. There was no major news such as an exchange listing, a big payments or bank partner, a hack, a network outage or a regulatory action; positive stories like Samsung and Centrifuge did not offset the broader decline.
Each line is one story of the day, left to right in time. The line’s height shows how far the coin’s price moved in the 4 hours after the story, net of the market: up – a rise, down – a fall. A lime band marks an hour with a sharp spike or drop.

How the daily recap works
The day page collects everything the bot recorded for the UTC day: every story with the time of first publication, sources and the price reaction after 15 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours and 24 hours, without the market move. Spikes and drops are marked separately – with the news published three hours before them and three hours after. The recap text is written by the AI Claude from this data, and code checks every number.
We record a match and leave the conclusions about the cause to you. The formulas and thresholds are in the methodology. Market news for this day is on the market day page.
A free experiment. The bot is learning and improves based on your feedback, so it can make mistakes. It helps you spot a serious story or problem in time; the decision and the risk are yours. Not a recommendation to buy or sell.
