Solana Slides to Mid‑$80s as Technical Breakdown Raises Risk of Deeper Losses

The token sits below all major exponential moving averages, raising the chance of forced selling even as network transaction and DEX volumes remain strong.

Overview

  • SOL has dropped more than 70% from 2025 highs and is trading in the mid‑$80s after a multi‑week drawdown that most recent coverage shows probing lows near $79–$80.
  • Technical indicators show SOL below the 10‑, 20‑, 50‑, 100‑ and 200‑day EMAs, with immediate resistance clustered in the $86.6–$88 band and downside supports cited near $83.5, $80 and $78.5.
  • Derivatives data and exchange heatmaps indicate dense liquidation clusters around $83–$88 and increasingly negative funding rates, which has amplified selling by squeezing leveraged long positions.
  • On‑chain metrics remain robust, with high DEX volumes and large daily transaction counts, but spot liquidity has thinned and recent Solana ETF flows and some institutional holders showed net selling.
  • Analysts outline two clear paths: a reclaim above the $86.6–$88 zone and then $100 to shift sentiment toward higher targets, or a failure of near‑term supports that could expose SOL to the low‑to‑mid $70s.
