Solana is testing investor confidence as the SOL price slips back toward key 
support levels, even as the network continues to expand across multiple 
fronts. After briefly pushing above $147 earlier this week, the token failed 
to hold its gains and is now trading below $145. Related Reading: Solana (SOL) 
Slips Back to Support, Setting Up a High-Tension Test The pullback comes at a 
time when Solana is seeing rising institutional interest, growing real-world 
asset adoption, and new user-focused initiatives, creating a contrast between 
short-term price pressure and longer-term ecosystem growth. SOL&#8217;s price moving

Critical Support Zone SOL has entered a short-term correction after failing to 
clear the $150 resistance area. The price dropped below the $146 and $145 
levels, moving under the 100-hour simple moving average. On the downside, 
technical analysts are watching the $141–$140 zone, where a bullish trend line 
and Fibonacci support converge. If the SOL price breaks below $140, the next 
support sits near $132, with further downside risk toward $124. On the upside, 
resistance remains near $146 and $148. A confirmed move above $148 could open 
the door to a retest of $155 and potentially $162. Momentum indicators reflect 
cautious sentiment. The hourly RSI remains below 50, and the MACD continues to 
show bearish pressure. Despite a healthy trading volume of around $5 billion 
in 24 hours, SOL is still down roughly one-third from its price a year ago and 
well below its previous peak near $293. Regulatory Developments and Solana ETF 
Inflows Beyond price action, regulatory news in the U.S. may influence 
Solana’s medium-term outlook. The draft bill known as the “Clarity Act,” 
released by the Senate Banking Committee, proposes reclassifying certain 
cryptocurrencies with exchange-traded products as “non-incidental” assets 
starting in 2026. This would ease some SEC disclosure requirements for assets 
like SOL. If passed, the proposal could place Solana in a similar regulatory 
category to Bitcoin and Ethereum, potentially improving institutional access. 
Early signs of interest have already appeared. On January 15, U.S. spot Solana 
ETFs recorded $23.57 million in net inflows, the highest in four weeks. 
However, ETF assets still represent only about 1.5% of SOL’s market 
capitalization, limiting their immediate impact on price. Network Growth 
Outpaces Price Momentum While the SOL price struggles, Solana’s network 
continues to expand. In 2025, the blockchain processed $1.6 trillion in 
trading volume, accounting for roughly 12% of the crypto market. Its DeFi 
ecosystem remains anchored by platforms like Jupiter, Raydium, Orca, and 
Kamino, with TVL holding steady near $11.5 billion. A major milestone came as 
Solana’s real-world asset (RWA) ecosystem reached a record valuation of $1.15 
billion, driven by tokenized U.S. Treasuries, equities, and institutional 
funds. This signals growing use of Solana as a settlement layer for 
traditional assets. Related Reading: Bitcoin Tailwind: Cathie Wood Sees

expanding. Solana’s Seeker phone is rolling out a large SKR token airdrop to 
over 100,000 users, while Interactive Brokers has enabled 24/7 USDC deposits 
via the Solana network, improving access for global traders. Cover image from
