Crypto Crash: Should You Buy Solana After Its 68% Plunge?

Solana's price has plummeted by 68%, raising questions about its investment viability amid a broader cryptocurrency market downturn. This significant decline is largely attributed to a shift in risk appetite among investors, driven by tightening monetary policies and regulatory scrutiny in the crypto space. As a result, cryptocurrencies like Solana (SOL) are particularly exposed due to their high volatility and speculative nature. Traders will be closely watching upcoming regulatory announcements and macroeconomic data releases, such as inflation reports, which could further influence market sentiment and capital flows into the crypto sector.

HIGH-impact news is typically a market-moving event with multi-pip or multi-percent intraday reactions. Examples include central bank rate decisions, major CPI/NFP releases, geopolitical shocks, mega-cap earnings beats/misses, and regulatory announcements. Traders typically position-reduce or hedge ahead of scheduled HIGH-impact events, and follow the wire in real time to react to unscheduled ones (war headlines, central-bank emergency statements, surprise corporate actions). The Trading News Terminal squawk box reads every HIGH-impact headline aloud the moment it hits the wire — so active traders don't have to stare at the feed.

Active traders typically follow a three-step workflow when a market-moving headline hits the wire: (1) read the headline on the terminal or hear it on the squawk box; (2) assess whether the news is already priced in (by checking intraday price action in the seconds before) or whether it's genuinely new information; (3) act — either entering a breakout position, fading an overreaction, or tightening stops on existing trades. Trading News Terminal's Pro plan delivers wire-grade headlines within seconds of the source, with automatic audio squawk on every HIGH-impact event, so the read-assess-act cycle never waits on a refresh button.
