ETF portfolio shift as Goldman Sachs exits XRP and Solana

Goldman Sachs fully liquidated its positions in XRP and Solana exchange-traded funds during the first quarter of 2026, as disclosed in SEC 13F filings. At the end of 2025, the firm held approximately $154 million in XRP-linked ETFs, which have now been sold. Goldman Sachs also trimmed its Ethereum ETF exposure while continuing to hold significant, though reduced, stakes in mainstream Bitcoin ETFs.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, points out Goldman Sachs is showing technical strength above key moving averages, yet signals the market is overbought. He notes the rapid gap up, combined with conflicting oscillator readings, raises red flags for short-term sustainability. The liquidation of alternative crypto ETF holdings suggests institutional caution despite ongoing interest in Bitcoin exposure. Momentum remains bullish but the risk of a pullback is elevated, particularly if buyers lose their edge. "Investors should be wary of chasing the rally at these levels, as the bullish trend may quickly unravel without fresh catalysts."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees the bullish structure in GS as firmly intact. He emphasizes the strong positioning above moving averages and a clear upward momentum. Despite the reduced exposure to some crypto ETFs, he views the continued presence in Bitcoin products as proof of lasting institutional conviction. Karapetjanc remains confident about further growth within the forecast range. "The market offers multiple setups for active investors — I expect GS to challenge and potentially break above its resistance zone."

Bullish momentum holds as technical signals diverge near resistance

Goldman Sachs is trading well above the 20-day ($933.61), 50-day ($885.66), and 200-day ($844.53) moving averages, supporting a bullish trend for both the short and long term. The nearest dynamic support sits at the Ichimoku Kijun level of $932.88, with resistance emerging near the $970 area aligned with recent highs.

Momentum indicators are strong: the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) maintains a strong buy signal and the Average Directional Index (ADX) on daily charts is neutral, suggesting trend strength remains moderate. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) sits just above 51, pointing to moderate bullish momentum, though the Stochastic RSI signals oversold and the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) is neutral. Bull/Bear Power (BBP) confirms buyers dominate the session, though its overbought condition highlights potential for short-term pullback, and the Awesome Oscillator (AO) trend supports current market strength. The stock gapped up over $15 at today’s open, and after a session gain of $39.76 or 4.28%, is trading near the day’s high; intraday volatility stands at 2.37%. This intraday strength is confirmed by bullish momentum, though some divergences in the oscillators suggest potential for choppy price action at these higher levels.

Earlier, analysts noted that Goldman Sachs maintained a bullish technical profile, underpinned by strong momentum and favorable positioning above key support levels. The latest disclosure of ETF position reductions adds a new dimension to the outlook, with the prevailing scenario favoring consolidation above dynamic support as investors watch for a decisive breakout above $970.
