$91 SOL—are you still waiting for the “final dip”?

I know exactly how you feel right now. You open your account and see SOL fall from 294 to 91—cut in half again and again. In the group chat, people are shouting every day, “Solana is finished.” The coins in your hand feel like a hot potato. Sell it—you’re afraid it will suddenly take off one day. Hold it—you’re afraid it will drop again to 80.

First thing: institutions are going all-in on bargain buying, and you’re still panicking.

SOL spot ETF cumulative inflows have already exceeded $1.05 billion! In the past month alone, net inflows were $56.6 million. Bitwise’s SOL Staking ETF single product has topped $1 billion. Grayscale and 21Shares are all buying.

Next month, Western Union will roll out stablecoins directly on Solana, with cash redemption channels in 200+ countries. New Korean cards and Jito’s APAC staking are also rolling out.

Second thing: the Alpenglow upgrade is coming—performance will double again.

The Q3 mainnet launch and a new consensus protocol will compress finality time to under 150 milliseconds. In the past, people criticized it as “chain lag” and “downtime,” but this time it’s being fundamentally fixed.

Developer registrations have already surpassed Ethereum, and active developers are up 45% month-over-month.

Third thing: the technical picture has already been compressed to the limit.

Over the past 3 months, SOL has been trapped between $80 and $97, and volatility has hit the lowest level in years. A symmetrical triangle has broken upward, the daily EMA has seen its first golden cross, and although the RSI is still oversold in the short term, selling pressure is shrinking.

On one side:

- Market cap: $54.6 billion, ranked 7th

- ETF inflows keep coming—institutions are putting in real money

- Alpenglow upgrade + payment rollout—two-engine drive

- The weekly chart is in the “end stage of accumulation,” and a breakout is right within reach

On the other side:

- Down 67% from the highs—you’re stuck and scared

- Alameda continues to unlock and transfer nearly $20 million monthly, continuing through 2027

- Macro data is hot, and the Fed doesn’t dare to cut rates easily

- It just dropped to 92.28—RSI once plunged to 13.4, and panic selling is underway

Key level at 94—only 10 dollars away from the lifeline: 87-84.**

Resistance above: 97.5 (strong pressure) → 100 → 106 → 120

Support below: 87-84 (0.382 Fib) → 80 (tested) → 78 (absolute bottom)

If you’re a short-term trader:

Enter in batches at the current price or on a pullback to 87-84. Stop-loss below 78. Take half profit at 97.5-100 first. If it gains volume and holds above 97.5, add positions; stop-loss at 93; target 106-120.

If you’re a long-term investor:

DCA and buy in batches in the 80-90 range without hesitation. With Alpenglow rolling out + ETF inflows continuing, 150-200 dollars by end of 2026 is a conservative estimate. But remember—Alameda is still selling every month. Don’t go all-in in one shot.

SOL is like ETH at the end of 2023—

Everyone complains “too expensive, too congested, it’s done,” but then upgrades + ETF come in, and it rockets from 80 straight to 400.

$91 SOL—you think it’s expensive.

When it reaches 150, you’ll say: “Should’ve known—91 should’ve been my entry.”#Gate广场五月交易分享 #美国4月CPI上涨3.8% $BTC $ETH $SOL
