Solana price is down 21% in a week, but on-chain and derivatives data highlights investors’ confidence that the network can overcome recent hurdles.
Solana’s native token SOL (SOL) experienced a significant 21% decline over the past week, reaching its lowest point in nearly six weeks. This downturn triggered a substantial $113 million in liquidations of leveraged long SOL futures contracts since April 11, suggesting that investors may have been overly optimistic following SOL’s 61% price surge in March.
This raises questions about the potential for further corrections and whether the $130 support level will hold firm.
Market analysts observe that Solana’s current market capitalization of $60 billion appears inflated, particularly when compared to Avalanche’s (AVAX) $13 billion and Tron’s (TRX) $10 billion, standing four and six times higher, respectively. However, some argue that the premium is justified by the rapid expansion of Solana’s ecosystem, with many projects launching their own tokens.
