The downturn came after $19bn in leveraged positions were liquidated between 10–11 October, as markets reacted to U.S. President Trump’s announcement of 100% tariffs on Chinese imports – triggering sharp volatility across Bitcoin and altcoins (Reuters, 14 October 2025).

SOL price: Technical overview

On the daily chart (21 October 2025), SOL/USD remains below its main moving average cluster – the 20-, 50-, 100- and 200-day moving averages (DMAs) at approximately 206, 215, 200 and 175 – keeping the near-term bias muted. Momentum is largely neutral, with the 14-day RSI at 41.5, indicating indecisive trading conditions.

The first level to monitor on the upside is the 217.7 pivot; a daily close above this could bring the 280.5 area into focus. On the downside, initial support lies around 181.8, and a break below the 200-DMA near 175 could open the way to lower levels (TradingView, 21 October 2025).
