After two concentrated days of tumult in the Solana memecoin market, signals of stabilization may be emerging.
The market saw a steep selloff that hit its crescendo on May 14, and now traders are keeping a close watch for any indications that a reversal is in the works or, at the very least, for any signs of a potential short-term bounce.
Today’s market behavior indicates a gentle but possibly significant change in sentiment. There are early signs that selling pressure is easing, and buyer interest is starting to pick up again.
Market Chaos on May 13–14: Weak Hands Shaken Out
The Solana memecoin sector faced intense selling on May 13 and 14. May 14, especially, registered a staggering $7 million in sell volume—the highest we’ve seen in recent charts. This sharp decline has certainly given buyers pause, and so far, no one’s stepping up in size to catch this falling knife amid all the heavy liquidations.
The selloff wasn’t completely unforeseen. Following weeks of rallying dividends from memes and rapid appreciation in prices, overextended valuations began to correct, which is to say they began to return to some sort of reasonable basis, prompting two main kinds of market participants to engage in two kinds of market maneuvers: taking profits and panic-selling.
When prices fell, the blue trend line in the volume chart that shows net buy/sell pressure fell far below zero and reflected an aggressive distribution phase. The selling caused a big spike in volatility, and sentiment sank, as it usually does when the weak hands get shaken out.
Signs of Stability Emerge on May 15
There is, however, a clear change in the air. The volume line, which had touched its low point on May 14, is now moving in the opposite direction and going up above the zero line. And that means that, for the first time in a number of days, buyers are slightly outpacing sellers. And this could be interpreted (as I am interpreting it) as an early sign of stabilization or even accumulation.
The market seems to be moving into a transitional phase, even if volatility is still high. The selling has somewhat eased, and today’s not-quite-terrible buying volume hints that the better-informed section of the trading public—sometimes called “smart money”—is once again dipping a toe into the equity waters.
Not all of these early buyers signal that a full trend reversal is in effect. But their accumulating presence is worth noting. When smart money starts to accumulate in a market, it sometimes (not always) indicates that a broader market recovery is on the way. So, is the smart money accumulating this go-round? Or, in more street-savvy terms, is the dial getting turned up on smart-mone market accumulation?
What to Watch: Volume, Trend, and Sentiment
The pivotal query at present is whether the nuanced change in volume we discern today portends a truly sustained recovery or merely a dead-cat bounce. No matter how it shakes out, watching a few critical indicators over the next 24 to 48 hours should make things clearer for traders.
Volume purchases: If buying pressure continues to build and remains continually above selling, it would strengthen the case for a potential rebound.
- Positive volume line: A continuous increase in the blue volume trend line would confirm that buyers are keeping up the push.
- Total volume and green bars: An increase in overall trading volume would be especially welcomed if it came hand in hand with a rise in green bars. Green bars are candles that have a close above open. They are also called buy-dominant candles because they show that the market has a clear bullish bias at the moment.

Should these elements align, they might indicate an early-stage reversal of the trend or, at the very least, a bounce in prices that might be short-term. But if enthusiasm from the buy side fades and returns on the sell side become pressuring, the market might well revisit recent lows.
Conclusion: Cautious Optimism Returns
Though we can’t announce a complete market recovery yet, what happened today gives Solana memecoin traders a reason to feel happy. Slightly positive buy volume and a volume trend line that has edged above zero give the traders a reason to exercise cautious optimism because the sharp drop we experienced on May 14 did what sharp drops tend to do: clear out weak hands.
The market will be watching closely. The next few days will be decisive. Response is what we are most interested in.
• Will it be positive?
• Will it be negative?
• Will there even be a response?
Growth in trading volume will be our first sign. Can this be an uptrend? Is it possible that the memecoin game on Solana is an unfinished symphony? Or is it possible that this is Solana’s version of a temporary “sleep mode” before responding? One thing seems to be inarguable: we have not seen a final curtain close on Solana’s version of the memecoin phenomenon.
