Solana is currently facing severe market challenges. The combined effects of continuous selling by institutional investors and the outflow of ETF funds have left it among the weakest performers among the top ten cryptocurrencies. Despite the fact that the cryptocurrency market as a whole saw a net inflow of $224 million last week, Solana benefited little from this trend. Its price momentum continued to decline, and it frequently hit new lows.

Technical data shows that Solana is currently trading within a narrow range above the crucial support level of $80, which analysts are closely monitoring. If this level is breached, the price is likely to drop to the $75 range, turning the recent buying momentum into a new resistance level.

According to Monitored by Woofun AI, although Solana still recorded a meager net inflow of $2.9 million despite the widespread outflow of funds, this amount is far insufficient to offset the huge selling pressure in the derivatives market. If Solana cannot break through the $95 resistance level in the short term and see a significant increase in trading volume, its short-term upside potential will be greatly limited.

It is worth noting that even if the price manages to stabilize again in the $120 to $150 range due to improved macroeconomic conditions, the structural issue of limited liquidity within its single-chain ecosystem remains unresolved. Cross-chain frictions and slippage losses between BTC, ETH, and Solana’s ecosystems will continue to trouble investors.

This situation presents an opportunity for third-layer infrastructure projects like LiquidChain to integrate the liquidity of these three major public chains. Such projects aim to eliminate barriers to multi-chain interactions by creating a unified execution environment. They have already launched their pre-sale phases and raised sufficient funds. At the same time, they offer staking incentives to attract new participants and build a defensive barrier for their ecosystems.
