The current price of SOL is fluctuating between $167 and $192, rebounding 40% from the low point at the beginning of the year, but the historical high of $294 still hangs like a sword. The unlocking of tokens in June released $600 million in liquidity, combined with the trust crisis caused by the MEV mechanism, market sentiment is precarious. The technical analysis shows that the 50-day and 200-day moving averages are stuck at $180, and the RSI has fallen into the oversold zone, suggesting a potential short-term rebound, but token holders still need to be cautious of violent fluctuations in the tug-of-war between bulls and bears.

Solana leads the public chain arena with a computing power of 65,000 TPS, with a monthly trading volume of $94.8 billion on DEX, and its TVL firmly ranks second among public chains. However, hidden concerns lurk beneath the high-performance aura: the shadow of the 2022 network outage incident has not dissipated, the risk of developer loss is increasing, and rumors of several DeFi protocols migrating to Aptos have been rampant recently. If the technical breakthrough of Firedancer dynamic sharding achieves millisecond-level confirmations, it may break through the siege of Ethereum Layer 2, but the high operational costs of nodes remain a fatal flaw for ecological expansion.

The long-term fate hinges on three critical lifelines: the U.S. SEC's determination of SOL's 'securities nature' will decide whether billions in ETF funds can enter the market; protocols like Raydium need to break through 100 million active users by 2030, which requires the ecosystem to overcome the constraints of financial attributes and recreate a scene revolution akin to WeChat Pay; technical competition is becoming increasingly fierce, with Ethereum Layer 2 expansion and Avalanche's snowball protocol eroding market share, and Solana's node cost disadvantage may shake institutional confidence.

The current annualized staking yield of 5.2% has lost its appeal, and the crazy consumption of the MEV arbitrage machine has put the validator ecosystem in jeopardy. For investors, the token release wave from June to August is considered a 'stress test', and institutions recommend controlling SOL positions at 15%-20% of crypto assets, focusing on breakthroughs in cross-chain technology—this may be the only way to break the public chain island effect.

History does not repeat itself simply, but the case of Bitcoin's tenfold increase three years after its halving in 2018 warns us: the crypto market is always nurturing opportunities within irrationality. If Solana can replicate the payment scenario penetration path of Alipay, a valuation of $2,000 by 2030 is not a fantasy. But remember: the blockchain world is devoid of linear logic, and regulatory black swans and technological mutations such as quantum computing may rewrite the ending at any moment. Every step taken at this moment is the ultimate tempering of humanity and cognition.

Recently, mainly sharing internally, those who have just met should pay more attention.
