Technical indicators still reflect caution, with bearish momentum dominating short-term charts and some analysts warning of a possible drop toward the $85 area if support near $95 fails.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That said, the $95\u2013$100 zone has repeatedly acted as a major demand area in past market cycles. The daily relative strength index has dipped into oversold territory, a condition that has previously coincided with local bottoms for SOL.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Several technical analysts note that a sustained defense of this range could open the door to a recovery toward the $150 region, with more optimistic scenarios extending toward $215\u2013$260 if resistance levels are reclaimed.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Network Activity And RWA Growth Support The Thesis<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite price volatility, Solana\u2019s on-chain fundamentals continue to strengthen. <a href=\"https:\/\/defillama.com\/chain\/solana\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Total value locked<\/a> recently reached an all-time high of 73.4 million SOL, equivalent to roughly $7.5 billion, marking an 18% weekly increase.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, daily transactions have surged above 100 million, hitting multi-year highs, while decentralized exchange volumes are also at their strongest levels in months.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beyond DeFi metrics, the real-world asset market on Solana has expanded rapidly, with tokenized RWAs on the network now estimated at around $1.15 billion. This growth aligns with Solana\u2019s positioning as a low-cost, high-throughput settlement layer, particularly for stablecoins and tokenized financial products.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Faster, more stablecoin-friendly turnover and consistently low transaction fees have made the network increasingly attractive for high-volume use cases.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Standard Chartered Sees Long-Term Upside<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/finance.yahoo.com\/news\/standard-chartered-predicts-solana-surge-002424921.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Standard Chartered<\/a> has reinforced this longer-term view, cutting its end-2026 SOL price target to $250 from $310 due to near-term volatility, while raising its 2030 forecast to $2,000.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The bank cited Solana\u2019s dominance in micropayments, stablecoin transfers, and emerging real-world applications as key drivers behind its long-range projections.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the bank, Solana\u2019s ability to process large transaction volumes at minimal cost gives it an advantage as regulation around digital assets becomes clearer and more supportive.<\/p>\n<p>Related Reading: <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/ethereum-active-addresses-near-all-time-high-price\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">Ethereum Active Addresses Near All-Time High Despite Price Plunge<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While short-term price action remains uncertain, the combination of rising network usage, expanding RWA activity, and improving regulatory clarity continues to underpin Solana\u2019s recovery narrative.<\/p>\n<p>Cover image from ChatGPT, SOLUSD chart on Tradingview<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Solana\u2019s (SOL) recent price weakness has not erased the broader recovery narrative forming around the network.
