Solana Holds Key Support as ETF Inflows Set Up Test of $144–$153 Resistance

Institutional demand is cushioning the pullback, with price coiling just below a resistance band that could decide the next leg.

Overview

  • SOL is stabilizing around $133–$140 after rebounding from the $121–$122 demand zone, with traders eyeing $144 as the first breakout trigger and $152–$153 as the larger hurdle.
  • Bitwise recorded a $13.15 million daily purchase and more than $527 million in cumulative inflows since November 10, while Solana ETFs returned to net inflows of $5.3 million on Friday.
  • Analysts say a clean move above $144 followed by $152–$153 could open a run toward $150–$165, with some chart setups projecting potential extensions to $170–$220 on a confirmed breakout.
  • Derivatives positioning has grown more bullish, with open interest near $3.0 billion, funding turning positive, and traders adding leverage to defend the $133–$135 support zone.
  • Regulatory uncertainty flickered after CoinShares and 21Shares withdrew staked‑SOL ETF filings, prompting brief volatility even as existing spot Solana ETFs continued to attract assets.
