Ethereum Price Faces Rejection Ethereum price failed to stay above the $3,000 
pivot level and started a fresh decline, like Bitcoin. ETH price dipped below 
$2,980 to enter a bearish zone. The bears were able to push the price below 
the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2,775 swing low to 
the $3,075 high. Besides, there was a break below a rising channel with 
support at $2,980 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. Ethereum price is now 
trading below $2,980 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If the bulls 
are able to protect more losses below $2,880, the price could start a fresh 
recovery. Immediate resistance is seen near the $2,980 level. The first key 
resistance is near the $3,000 level. The next major resistance is near the 
$3,050 level. A clear move above the $3,050 resistance might send the price 
toward the $3,120 resistance. An upside break above the $3,120 region might 
call for more gains in the coming days. In the stated case, Ether could rise 
toward the $3,200 resistance zone or even $3,220 in the near term. More Losses 
In ETH? If Ethereum fails to clear the $3,000 resistance, it could start a 
fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2,880 level and 
the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2,775 swing low 
to the $3,075 high. The first major support sits near the $2,845 zone. A clear 
move below the $2,845 support might push the price toward the $2,800 support. 
Any more losses might send the price toward the $2,775 region. The next key 
support sits at $2,720. Technical Indicators Hourly MACD – The MACD for

The story of Solana has shifted from a meteoric rise to a high-stakes battle 
for relevance. After reaching a historic all-time high in November 2024, the 
network has struggled to reclaim its former momentum. This loss of momentum 
reflects technical exhaustion and a market recalibration after an aggressive 
run-up. Thus, SOL has entered a new phase as investors assess whether fresh 
demand can emerge or if the network needs a new catalyst to reassert 
leadership. How Solana Momentum Fades After The November Peak Crypto trader 
Ardi has revealed on X that market interest has noticeably thinned ever since 
Solana set its $296 all-time high in November 2024. On-chain data has shown 
that buying pressure has been dominated almost by the retail-sized wallets, 
particularly those making purchases between $0 and $1,000. Related Reading: 
Solana Faces Critical Test Near $100 as Macro Pressure and Network Upgrades 
Collide Ardi argues that while many observers point to micro conditions to 
explain the stalled price action, the tape reveals that the distribution has 
begun before the peak. The selling volume had already been accelerating for 
months before October 10, signaling that major players were planning their 
exits long before the drawdown. The data also confirms a massive divergence 
between demographics. Meanwhile, the mid-sized wallets involving $0 to 
$100,000, and the institutional-sized wallets involving $100,000 to $10 
million in volume have been in a steady downtrend for roughly 13 months. Over 
the same period, retail wallets have shown a consistent uptrend, and are 
clearly convinced that SOL is still trading at a deep discount price. This 
imbalance leads to the ultimate question: Is Solana&#8217;s value now intrinsically 
tied to memecoins? The correlation between SOL&#8217;s demand and the memecoin 
actively on the network has been near-perfect, which means that without the 
frenzy of the meme sector, most bids would largely be disinterested. What 
Comes After Memes Will Decide Solana&#8217;s Future An investor and trader, Jas 
pointed out that 2025 has definitely been a reset for Solana, but it isn&#8217;t 
over for the altcoin. SOL active monthly traders have fallen from roughly 30 
million to under 1 million, a staggering 97% drop in network activity. The 
speculative engine was the memecoin boom that fueled its rise and also exposed 
its biggest vulnerability. Related Reading: Solana at a Breaking Point: Fading 
Memecoin Hype and Alameda Unlocks Test the $140 Support Zone Furthermore, SOL 
is down nearly 58% from its yearly high. SOL’s network revenue dropped 
fivefold year-over-year from $2.5 billion in 2024 to $500 million in 2025. The 
contrast with Ethereum is hard to ignore, and ETH generated $1.4 billion in 
revenue this year and outperformed SOL by 56% year-to-date. &#8220;SOL&#8217;s future may 
depend less on memes and more on what follows them,&#8221; Jas noted. Featured image
