SOLUSD closed Wednesday at $74.67, down $7.61 or 9.2% from Monday's open of $82.28. The pair touched a week-high of $82.93 on Monday before Tuesday's sharp fall to $72.58, the low so far. Wednesday saw a modest recovery attempt that peaked at $74.97.
Tuesday's 9.2% drop coincided with Reserve Bank of India reports of selling gold reserves to defend the rupee. The broader crypto market followed risk assets lower as USD/JPY hit 160 and triggered verbal intervention from Japan's finance minister, adding to the defensive tone across digital assets.
Friday's US Non-Farm Payrolls headline the back half of this week, with consensus expecting 85K jobs versus 115K previously. A miss below 85K combined with unemployment rising above 4.3% could pressure SOLUSD back toward Tuesday's $72.58 low. Before that, Thursday's ISM Services PMI at 14:00 GMT offers another sentiment check. A print above the 53.7 forecast could help stabilize crypto if risk appetite returns.
Current LHFX client sentiment shows 60% long versus 40% short as of Wednesday morning. The 3-to-2 long bias suggests traders are viewing the dip from $82.28 as a buying opportunity rather than the start of a deeper correction. This optimism faces its first real test at the $72.58 support.
SOLUSD is caught between Tuesday's low at $72.58 and the round $75 level overhead. Buyers need to defend $72.58 through Friday's data to keep the recovery attempt alive. A break below $72.58 opens immediate downside to the $72.13 Wednesday low, then psychological levels below.
