Solana Regains $81 Amid Growing Network Activity and Rising Achievements

Solana has reclaimed the $81 price level following a steep decline that pushed the token to a two-year low. The cryptocurrency now trades at $81.68, posting a 1.18% gain over the past 24 hours. Despite this recovery, SOL remains down 11.56% from the previous week. The market capitalization stands at approximately $46.38 billion.

Exchange-traded funds tracking Solana recorded a net daily inflow of 88,980 SOL, equivalent to $7.3 million, according to Lookonchain. Weekly ETF outflows, however, totaled 76,064 SOL, valued at $6.24 million.

The price movement mirrors Bitcoin’s 1.09% gain during the same period. The total crypto market cap rose 1.28%, while market sentiment remains at “Extreme Fear” with an index reading of 8.

2025 Solana Milestones Mark Institutional Adoption

US spot Solana ETFs launched in 2025, accumulating $1.02 billion in net inflows. The products recorded a 21-day consecutive inflow streak, marking the most successful ETF launch of the year.

Treasury firms staked 12.5 million SOL, representing 3% of the total supply. Public companies issued bonds specifically to purchase SOL tokens.

As much as the memecoin community likes to hate on the Solana team (including myself) it’s hard to ignore what they accomplished in 2025

SOL Price Structure Shows 66% Drop From Highs

SOL trades near $81.97 on the daily chart, following a 66% decline from September 2025 highs near $240. The price structure displays consecutive lower highs and lower lows.

Bollinger Bands show significant expansion with price hugging the lower band near $67.09. The middle band at $101.45 serves as immediate resistance. The MACD reads -12.62 with the signal line at -11.28, both deep in negative territory.

Immediate support sits at the $80-$82 zone. A break below $80 targets $67-$70, aligned with the lower Bollinger Band. Extended downside targets include $60 and $55.

Resistance levels cluster at $95-$100 and $101-$105, the latter coinciding with the 20-day moving average. The 14-day RSI at 49.23 indicates neutral conditions with room for movement in either direction.

The bearish continuation scenario carries higher probability at 65%. Confirmation requires a close above $83.75 for bullish momentum or a break below $78.40 for continued selling. The near-term outlook remains neutral consolidation pending directional confirmation.
