A major whale investor has triggered a devastating 20% price collapse in FARTCOIN after liquidating over 3 million tokens valued at $3.65 million, raising serious questions about the memecoin’s ability to achieve its $2 psychological target.
Blockchain data from Solscan reveals that the whale operating under Solana address “24BLFj” initially accumulated 8.89 million FARTCOIN tokens at a cost basis of $2.31 million, averaging $0.26 per token between February 26 and March 21.
Whale 24BLFj sold another 3M $Fartcoin($3.65M) at $1.22 9 hours ago.
This whale bought 8.89M $Fartcoin(cost $2.31M) at an average price of $0.26 from Feb 26 to Mar 21.

This position generated a 349% return, allowing the trader to extract $8.07 million in profits.
Despite the massive sell-off, the whale maintains a substantial position of 1.89 million FARTCOIN tokens worth $2.16 million, alongside holdings in other Solana memecoins such as Housecoin and over $7 million in USDC stablecoins.
FARTCOIN Loses Top Memecoin Status, But Bulls See Buying Opportunity for a $2 reboundThe price crash has cost FARTCOIN its position as Solana’s leading memecoin, with BONK reclaiming the top spot. FARTCOIN now ranks fourth in the Solana memecoin hierarchy, trailing behind PENGU and TRUMP.

The sharp decline has resulted in $12.4 million of liquidations from FARTCOIN long positions over the past 24 hours, marking the second-highest liquidation volume among memecoins during this period.

Memecoin trader “Bmerke” noted historical parallels, noting that “during the last two FOMC meetings (May 6 and June 18), FARTCOIN traded at these exact levels we’re seeing today. Both instances were followed by new all-time highs shortly after.”

He further predicted that “everyone who panic-sold their holdings today will be forced to buy back at higher prices by the weekend.”
Smart Money Still Bullish on FARTCOIN to $2Supporting the bullish thesis, Nansen’s AI wallet tracker shows FARTCOIN remains the most favored memecoin among sophisticated investors, with 24 smart money wallets holding $19.03 million worth of tokens.
This exceeds holdings in popular alternatives like PEPE ($5.75 million) and BONK ($2.27 million).
Crypto analyst Jireon0X identified FARTCOIN as “coiling tightly within an ascending triangle formation, maintaining trendline support following a healthy pullback.”
According to his analysis, “the $1.1 support level must hold to enable a rebound toward $1.50, while a decisive breakout above $1.62 could propel FARTCOIN toward the coveted $2 target.”

The 4-hour FARTCOIN/USDT chart displays a strong breach of the previously established ascending channel pattern.
Price action had been progressing upward within parallel blue and red trendlines, maintaining a bullish trajectory from late June through mid-July.
This technical structure experienced a decisive downside break, indicating deteriorating upward momentum and indicating a potential trend reversal.
Source: TradingViewWith price action now below the ascending channel and approaching the previous consolidation zone between $0.87–$1.00, downward pressure continues to intensify.
The Relative Strength Index registers 27.14, firmly positioned in oversold territory.
While bearish momentum persists, this extreme reading suggests a temporary bounce or corrective rally may be approaching due to potential selling exhaustion.
Based on the current chart structure and RSI conditions, price is likely to test the $1.00–$1.10 zone as a short-term foundation before attempting any recovery.
Should a bounce materialize, traders should monitor the $1.40 area as the next key resistance level, with a possible challenge of the $1.543 barrier if bullish momentum resurfaces.
However, failure to maintain support above $1.00 could trigger deeper losses toward the $0.87 support zone identified on the chart, potentially invalidating the near-term recovery scenario.
