📉 Reasons for the decline of SOL:

1. General market decline

— Bitcoin can drag the entire market down. When it corrects, altcoins typically fall harder.

2. Profit taking

— After a strong rise in 2024–2025 (from <$10 to $150+), many investors began to take profits, especially large funds.

3. Network congestion and outages

— Solana often faces issues with congestion or outages. Even short downtimes or slowdowns raise doubts among traders.

4. Regulatory risks

— Threats from the SEC or rumors of SOL being recognized as a security can scare investors and trigger sell-offs.

5. Memecoins and speculation

— A surge of interest in memecoins on Solana (WIF, BONK, etc.) often leads to "overheating." When the hype subsided, a correction began.

💬 And now the question:

Is this the end? Or an opportunity to enter at a discount?

Many analysts believe:

📌 $SOL in the accumulation zone

📌 Possible rebound upon BTC stabilization

📌 Long-term — Solana remains one of Ethereum's main competitors
