Solana Breaks $76 Support and Slips to the Low‑$70s

The move confirms a double‑top breakdown that has triggered large leveraged liquidations and raises the odds of a deeper decline.

Overview

  • Solana, which fell below the long‑standing $76.6 support on June 3–4, is trading in the low‑$70s after losing roughly 11–12% over several days.
  • Technical charts show a confirmed double‑top and SOL trading below its 50‑ and 200‑day moving averages, a setup that analysts say opens a path toward the low‑$50s if sellers keep control.
  • Derivatives stress amplified the drop as more than $3.8 million of SOL long positions were liquidated and a broader market rout erased about $1.8 billion in leveraged crypto positions, tightening liquidity.
  • On‑chain activity and institutional links offer a counterpoint: Solana handled roughly $832.7 billion in stablecoin transfers in Q1 and was chosen by Mastercard for regulated stablecoin settlement.
  • Analysts remain split on what comes next with one scenario calling for a reclaim of $76.6 to restart a large rally toward targets like $250 and the other warning that failure to reclaim the level could prolong the correction and deepen losses for traders and lenders.
