Solana Plunges to Multi-Year Low, Rebounds Toward $80 as Bearish Breakdown Takes Hold

Analysts warn a confirmed head-and-shoulders pattern on the weekly chart signals downside risk to roughly $40–$42.

Overview

  • Solana fell to about $68 before recovering near $80 on Feb. 5–6, marking a sharp extension of recent losses.
  • Technical analysts say the break below the ~$105 neckline confirms a trend reversal, with initial targets flagged in the low $40s.
  • Market positioning remains negative, with declining open interest, negative funding rates, and U.S. Solana ETFs drawing under $9 million per day.
  • On-chain activity stays robust, including roughly 148 million transactions on Jan. 30 and about $230 million in tokenized stocks, with efforts from WisdomTree and GustoHQ noted.
  • Standard Chartered trimmed near-term expectations but kept a long-term projection that SOL could reach $2,000 by 2030.
