Trading volume surged as SOL broke below $155 support late Monday, with the price eventually bottoming at $148.68 before entering a choppy consolidation around the $150 mark.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the short-term pressure, some institutional investors remain optimistic about Solana\u2019s long-term positioning. On Monday, Cantor Fitzgerald <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coindesk.com\/markets\/2025\/06\/16\/solana-treasury-strategy-better-than-eth-firms-buying-sol-should-trade-at-premium-cantor\">launched coverage<\/a> of three public companies \u2014 DeFi Development Corp (DFDV), Sol Strategies (HODL), and Upexi (UPXI) \u2014 that hold SOL as a treasury asset. The firm assigned all three \u201coverweight\u201d ratings and emphasized Solana\u2019s technical strength.<\/p>\n<p>Cantor\u2019s analysts argued that Solana has outpaced Ethereum in recent developer growth and technical performance, citing on-chain metrics that show higher throughput and lower latency. The report added that firms using SOL as a treasury asset view it as a serious contender to challenge ETH\u2019s dominance, despite ether still having a market cap 2.5 times larger.<\/p>\n<p>While the recent correction has erased much of the weekend\u2019s gains, SOL remains above last week\u2019s support zone. Traders are now watching whether the token can hold the $148\u2013$150 range or if further downside pressure will emerge.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Technical Analysis Highlights<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>During the analysis window, SOL-USD dropped 7.0% from $158.804 to $147.746, forming a 24-hour range of 11.058 points.<\/li>\n<li>The steepest sell-off occurred between 22:00 and 00:00 UTC on volume exceeding 2.7 million SOL, breaking down through $155 support.<\/li>\n<li>Price later stabilized around $152 and traded in a tightening range between $151 and $154.<\/li>\n<li>The $152\u2013$153 zone transitioned from support to resistance during the correction, with $148.68 marking the session low.<\/li>\n<li>At 07:57\u201307:58 UTC, price dropped from $153.118 to $152.680 on a spike exceeding 150,000 SOL in volume.<\/li>\n<li>Toward the end of the analysis period, SOL consolidated between $153.400 and $152.680 with declining volatility, signaling hesitation among both bulls and bears.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><em>Disclaimer:<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<em>Parts of this article were generated with the assistance from AI tools and reviewed by our editorial team to ensure accuracy and adherence to<\/em>\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.coindesk.com\/ethics\">our standards<\/a>.
