Even while the price of Solana experienced a slight bounce on Sunday, investors are still feeling the pain from the current pullback. Given the sharp drawdown in SOL’s price, a significant portion of the supply held by investors is now in the red, which is triggering a wave of uncertainty in the market.

Solana Investors Slip Into The Red Amid Price Weakness

Following the recent bearish action of Solana’s price, its market pressure seems to have increased sharply. This notable increase in ongoing market pressure is reflected in the Solana Percent Supply in Profit metric.

After examining the metric, Ted Pillows, a market expert and investor, reveals that the percentage of SOL supply held at a loss has deepened to levels not seen in a long time. Despite strong ecosystem activity and relentless development momentum, price volatility has put more SOL holders in the loss, signaling growing strain across the network’s investor base

Data shared by Ted Pillows shows that over 79.6% of the total supply of SOL in circulation is now at a loss. This expanding loss profile is a reflection of both the intensity of the recent decline and the shifting mood of the market. A steady rise in supply loss is likely to impact the altcoin’s price action, raising questions about its next major move in the short term.

While the next major move remains uncertain, Pillows has outlined a pivotal moment in the altcoin’s short-term market structure. In another X post, the investor highlighted that most of the downside liquidity in Solana has now been cleared, hinting at a potential shift in trend.

What this means is that SOL has successfully eliminated the majority of the risky positions that were positioned below important support levels following weeks of intense sell pressure and deep sweeps into lesser liquidity pockets. This massive liquidity flush was observed within the $145 and $150 price range.

According to the investor, the price zone has a large liquidity cluster, while the $120 support level also has a decent one. With the removal of these liquidity pools, the market might be moving into a cleaner, more balanced area. 

Such development could pave the way for a dramatic shift in direction as traders reevaluate momentum, risk, and the future of one of the most actively traded cryptocurrency ecosystems. However, Pillows noted that Solana may be the first to sweep the upside liquidity if Bitcoin exhibits some strength at this stage.

SOL’s Chart Is Showing A Confluence

On the daily time frame, DrBullZeus, a crypto analyst and trader, highlighted a confluence on the Solana chart that could determine the next price direction. DrBullZeus stated that the price is currently in the zone of the liquidity grabbed and pump hard box, a pattern that aligns with the bullish Order Block (OB).

At the same time, SOL has formed a massive Descending Triangle pattern, which points to a huge upward move ahead. If the support between the $105 and $125 holds, the expert predicts a powerful launch to $240+, the previous high, and beyond. According to the expert, this notable rally is set to kick off in 2026.

$2 Trillion: Countdown to AI's Largest IPO in History

The countdown for the largest IPO in AI history, a potential $2 trillion listing for Anthropic, is underway for October. The staggering valuation, reportedly projected by several investors, contrasts with the company's own internal restraint on setting a public target. Founded five years ago by former OpenAI core members, Anthropic's growth has been meteoric. Annual recurring revenue (ARR) surged from ~$9B in late 2025 to $47B by May 2026, with Q2 2026 revenue of $11.5B marking a 14x year-over-year increase. Bank valuations are even based on internal 2028 revenue forecasts of $190-200B. A key growth driver is Claude Code, its AI coding assistant. Its ARR quintupled in five months to $2.5B by February 2026, now constituting nearly 20% of total revenue. Surveys indicate Anthropic commands roughly 40% of enterprise LLM spending, doubling OpenAI's share in programming-specific use. However, alongside this explosive growth, reports detail significant internal cultural strife. Critics describe a divisive "priesthood" of PhD executives, led by CEO Dario Amodei, who promote a "save humanity" narrative that some employees find cult-like and alienating. This has reportedly created a demoralized workforce and a covert "underground network" of dissent among engineers torn between lucrative pre-IPO equity and a toxic work environment. Anthropic now faces a pivotal paradox: pursuing its mission of "safe" AI requires immense capital for compute, yet that capital demands relentless commercial growth. As it approaches its historic IPO, the company must navigate intense regulatory scrutiny, soaring operational costs, and internal tensions—any of which could destabilize its post-listing trajectory, much like SpaceX's significant post-IPO stock drop. The stage is set for a defining moment in tech history.

AI Boosting Efficiency and Cutting Costs Makes VC Increasingly Expensive

"AI for Cost Reduction Makes VC Funding More Expensive" Despite the "cost-reduction and efficiency" narrative of AI, venture capital (VC) investment in the AI sector is becoming increasingly costly. While AI tools lower the initial costs for many startups—with team sizes shrinking across funding stages—the market is polarizing. For top-tier AI teams, especially those from leading companies like Google and OpenAI, funding rounds are now larger and valuations are higher than ever at the seed and early stages. For example, new ventures by prominent researchers are securing billions in funding with valuations reaching tens of billions before having a mature product. This creates a "barbell" market: lightweight startups need less capital, while elite AI firms attract massive investments early on. This dynamic raises the cost for VCs to acquire and maintain meaningful ownership stakes. As valuations soar early, securing the same equity percentage requires significantly larger capital commitments. VCs must now invest more upfront and reserve substantial funds for follow-on rounds to avoid dilution, prompting large firms like Accel and a16z to raise massive new funds. Consequently, capital is concentrating intensely in a few perceived winners like OpenAI and Anthropic, widening the gap between large and small VC funds. While high valuations bake in future growth expectations, they also compress potential returns, demanding that portfolio companies achieve unprecedented scale. For major VCs, the core strategy is clear: secure early positions in potential winners and maintain the capital to keep investing as valuations rapidly escalate.
