Solana Drops to the Low $130s as Fidelity Files 8‑A for Spot ETF and $146 Flips to Resistance

A fragile band around $144–$150 will likely dictate whether selling accelerates into the thin demand zone below.

Overview

  • Solana extended its sell-off to $128 before stabilizing near the mid‑$130s, with $146 now acting as confirmed resistance and $120–$112 flagged as next key supports if $130 gives way.
  • Fidelity submitted a Form 8‑A for a spot SOL ETF, a filing typically made immediately before trading begins, pointing to a potential near‑term listing.
  • Liquidity data highlights heavy short positioning around $150 that is capping rebounds yet could trigger short‑covering if that level is reclaimed.
  • On‑chain realized distribution shows little historical demand beneath $144, increasing the risk of a swift move lower if price cannot recover that area.
  • Potential longer‑term supports include network upgrades in testing (Firedancer, Alpenglow) and Upexi’s $50 million buyback, though near‑term momentum remains weak.
