SOL Price Drops 15%; Mixed Signals from ETFs & DC Lobbying

  • Solana (SOL) drops 15% weekly, falls below $120 after breaking key support

  • Newly launched Solana ETFs (SOLZ, SOLT) see minimal volume, lagging BITO

  • Solana Policy Institute launches in DC, led by Miller Whitehouse-Levine

Solana (SOL), until recently a top-performing digital asset, shed 15% of its value over the past week. The decline briefly pushed SOL to the seventh spot in market capitalization rankings below Circle’s USDC stablecoin before it reclaimed the sixth position despite a 4.54% drop over the prior 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap data. 

At press time, SOL traded near $118.49 with a valuation of approximately $60.74 billion.

Technical Analysis Points to Weakness

Crypto analyst Ali Martinez highlighted a critical technical weakness before the recent drop, noting that trendlines weaken with repeated testing. Martinez shared a chart showing SOL’s price testing a key support level multiple times since May 2024 before projecting a downward move.
