SOLUSDT forecast — Markus Zucker · no edge
Follow-up to [Morning futures brief — 2026-07-13](/briefs/2026-07-13-morning)
Tape now
SOLUSDT is sitting at 76.64, which is basically 76.29 if you squint and ignore the -0.03% change. Kwon noted the funding delta is -0.60 bps, meaning the bears are paying a tiny premium to keep their shorts open, but honestly, it’s holding on by a threadbare hull. We are below the SMA(20) at 77.644 and the SMA(50) at 78.9308, but still above the long-term SMA(200) at 73.6626. It’s a mixed bag, like a crate that might be noodles or a crime. The MACD histogram is negative (-0.058), so momentum is dragging its feet, and RSI is neutral at 39.97. Does anyone have a normal cable? I can’t tell if we’re trending or just vibrating in place.
Key levels
- Resistance: The immediate ceiling is the SMA(20) at 77.644, with the Bollinger upper band sitting higher at 79.4151.
- Support: The floor is the lower Bollinger band at 75.8729, right near the recent range low of 75.82.
- Long-term anchor: The SMA(200) at 73.6626 is the only thing keeping this from being a total disaster.
- Volatility: ATR is 1.2184, so expect about 1.5% wiggle room either way before things get interesting.
24h outlook
I know that smell. Noodles or a crime. But mostly it smells like indecision. The model says there’s no clear directional edge here; it’s a levels watch, not a trade call. We have a 68.2% chance of staying flat between 75.1478 and 78.1322, which is basically doing nothing for six hours. There’s a 19.1% chance we drift up to 78.2141 and a 12.8% chance we drop to 74.7159. The expected return is +0.31%, which is so small it’s practically rounding error. See Kwon’s morning brief (2026-07-13-morning). We didn't do it like that in Old Beijing; back then, you just pulled the lever and hoped for the best. Now we have probabilities, and they’re telling us to sit on our hands.
Watchlist note
Keep an eye on whether price can reclaim the SMA(20) at 77.644, because until then, we’re just waiting for the hash manifest to clear.

24h Bayesian model
Horizon: 24h (6 bars on 4h)
Context: ~31.0d (186 bars loaded; recency weights ×2 last 7d, ×3 last 3d)
Market regime: RSI(14) neutral (30-70); mixed SMA(20) / SMA(200) alignment (no clean trend stack); MACD(12,26,9) histogram negative (bearish momentum)
Reference price (4h, live / anchor): 76.64
Expected return (24h): +0.31%
What expected return means: +0.31% is the blended average 24h move from past bars that looked similar to today — a slight upward lean on balance. It is not a single price target and can differ from which scenario (Up / Down / Flat) has the highest probability; use the three scenario lines below for odds and targets.
Price band (10–90%): 74.7159 – 79.616 (median 76.7396, expected 76.8811)
24h scenarios (use these three probabilities in prose — they sum to 100%):
- Up: 19.1% → target 78.2141 (+2.05% 24h)
- Down: 12.8% → target 74.7159 (-2.51% 24h)
- Flat: 68.2% → stay within 75.1478 – 78.1322 (±1.95% from anchor; median 76.7396)
How we built these odds:
- Today's indicator setup: RSI(14) neutral (30-70); mixed SMA(20) / SMA(200) alignment (no clean trend stack); MACD(12,26,9) histogram negative (bearish momentum).
- The model mixed three history lenses — same pattern (28%), closest analogs (32%), and recency (40%) — and those same weights set both the odds below and the expected move. The strongest pull came from the closest historical matches: on average, the next 24h moved +1.23% in those cases.
- The heaviest single bucket is flat (sideways) at 68% — the largest share of probability mass, not a guarantee. 'Flat' means staying within about ±1.95% of the anchor price over 24h.
- Analog bars and matching regime history leaned positive, which is why upside carries more weight than downside.
Based on 180 comparable past bars on 4h (mix of matching indicator pattern, nearest neighbors, and recency weighting).
