Solana (SOL) Market Update: Recent Price Movements and Key Levels
As of the latest analysis, Solana’s (SOL) price has dipped to $221, marking a 3.9% decrease over the past 24 hours. This decline follows an unsuccessful attempt to maintain a position above $230, with the price previously reaching a high of $238 earlier in the week. The breakdown below the 100-hour moving average near $225 has further influenced this pullback.

In the short term, traders are closely monitoring the support zone between $218 and $212, with deeper buying interest anticipated in the $210–$215 range. Conversely, resistance is expected between $230 and $235, with a more formidable supply zone from $245 to $250. Should the bulls successfully reclaim the $230 level with strong trading volume, there is potential for a momentum shift targeting $245. However, a daily close below $212 may increase the risk of a slide towards $200. Despite this recent setback, Solana continues to exhibit a pattern of higher lows in its multi-week trend, suggesting that the broader uptrend remains intact.
Solana’s Robust Financials: A Look at Annual Revenue and Growth
Beyond its price movements, Solana’s fundamentals remain strong. A recent analytical report indicates that Solana’s annualized on-chain revenue has reached an impressive $2.85 billion over the past year, averaging $240 million per month. The network experienced a peak of $616 million in January, driven by a surge in memecoin activity.
Trading platforms significantly contribute to this revenue stream, accounting for 30% ($1.12 billion), with applications like Photon and Axiom occasionally generating up to $260 million in a single month. Thanks to minimal fees, often below $0.01, and high throughput, Solana’s revenue growth has outpaced Ethereum’s early-cycle progression, aligning with 1.2 to 1.5 million daily active addresses.
Supporting these fundamentals, DeFi metrics reveal a total value locked (TVL) of $13 billion and a sixfold year-over-year increase in stablecoin volumes, along with over $500 million in tokenized real-world asset activity. Upcoming performance enhancements, such as Firedancer, aim to significantly improve latency and throughput, strengthening Solana’s position in high-frequency DeFi operations.
Expanding Institutional Access: Solana ETFs and Future Projections
Institutional interest in Solana is growing on multiple fronts. Reports indicate that $4 billion in SOL is held on public balance sheets. Additionally, staking-enabled trust products and the potential launch of U.S. spot SOL ETFs, with applications from major issuers like Fidelity, VanEck, Grayscale, Franklin Templeton, 21Shares, and Bitwise, could drive further demand.
Several of these ETF filings face October deadlines, with prediction markets indicating a high probability of approval by the end of the year. In the short term, price fluctuations may continue as the crypto market recalibrates its leverage positions. However, Solana’s revenue scale, user base expansion, and upcoming technological upgrades offer a solid foundation for future growth.
For traders, the strategy is clear: maintain the $218–$212 support range to uphold the bullish structure, and aim to break through $230, followed by $245, to reignite momentum. For long-term investors, the multi-billion-dollar revenue achievement and increasing institutional adoption keep the prospects of the price surpassing $300 alive, particularly once market risk sentiment improves.
