SOL climbs amid ETF flows

Highlights

Solana gains 2% to $140 despite Bitcoin-led liquidations across the broader crypto market
Solana stablecoin inflow exceeds $900M as SOL ETF assets cross $1B in early 2026
SOL price holds above $137.5 support as RSI momentum still points to bullish bias

The resilience in Solana’s price action has been driven in part by rising institutional interest. In early 2026, the total net assets of U.S.-listed Solana ETFs surpassed $1 billion, drawing renewed attention to the asset’s market positioning. This was followed by a sharp surge in Solana’s stablecoin supply. According to The Kobeissi Letter, more than $900 million in stablecoins flowed into the Solana network in just 24 hours, pushing total stablecoin supply past the $15 billion mark to a new record high.

The report suggested that the spike in stablecoin activity could indicate renewed crypto capital inflows. Given Solana’s low transaction fees and fast settlement speed, large-scale liquidity can quickly be deployed across DeFi and trading platforms built on its network. This development offers context for why Solana has stayed firm during Bitcoin’s drawdown.

SOL holds firm as Bitcoin decline drags Fear-Greed Index lower

Even though price has advanced, Solana is still trading below the earlier weekly peak of $143.4. This level acts as the immediate upside barrier, and price has struggled to retest it since pulling back earlier in the week. The broader crypto sentiment, as reflected by Binance’s Fear and Greed Index, has also slipped from 49 to 41 in the past three days. This drop is largely attributed to Bitcoin’s recent decline but has not yet spilled over into Solana’s price structure.

SOL eyes breakout above $143.4 or weekly reversal to $130 pivot level

Solana’s daily and 4-hour RSI readings are holding in bullish territory, suggesting momentum is still tilted upward. If buying pressure extends into the U.S. session, a breakout above $143.4 could push the price through the December supply zone around $145 and expose the $150 mark.

If the rally stalls and Solana breaks below the 4-hour 20 EMA support at $137.5, price could consolidate above the $134 level. This level marks the weekly open and is reinforced by the 50 EMA, providing a key floor. A breakdown below $134 could trigger further selling towards the $130 psychological level and reverse weekly gains.

In recent analysis, we discussed how Solana dropped 4.8% after a six-day rally was rejected at the December supply zone. SOL outperformed BTC year-to-date as the long-short ratio rose while price stabilized above the 4h 50 EMA near $134.
