$80 SOL, do you dare to buy the dip?



Visa partnership, ETF weekly net inflow of $58 million, developer count surpassing ETH—yet all these positives are ignored, SOL slashed from $146 to $82, weekly chart still falling. Just now, volume quietly increased by 30%, MACD shows an initial golden cross, and the price stubbornly rebounded from $80 to $82.3.

First look at the surface: positive news bombardment, but the price doesn’t rise.

In the past 7 days, down 8%, monthly decline of 12%, from January’s high of $146 directly halved by 42%, compared to the all-time high of $293, a 72% drop. But 24-hour trading volume expanded to $3 billion, funds are starting to test the bottom. The candlestick chart shows: $80-$85 range has been oscillating for nearly a month, MACD shows a budding golden cross, RSI at 45 neutral and not oversold, no more downward momentum—don’t fall at this last meter.

---

First thing: Visa and Western Union are here, but the market ignores it.

Visa partnered with Solana Jupiter, stablecoin settlement annualized volume hits $7 billion, up 230% year-over-year. Western Union launched USDPT stablecoin on Solana, Meta also started using Solana for creator payments. Sounds like great news? But SOL didn’t rise, instead dropped from $90 to $80.

Second thing: Solana has quietly changed tracks.

You still think Solana is just a “meme chain”? Wake up.

- RWA total value exceeds $2.8 billion, a new high

- New developer registrations surpass ETH, active developers +45% month-over-month

- On-chain daily transaction volume multiple times exceeds 78 million transactions, stablecoin daily trading volume $13-$15 billion

- Firedancer has 20% of validators running, Alpenglow testnet launched, final confirmation time 150 milliseconds

Third thing: a technical signal that must be paid attention to.

The $80-$81 level is the dense trading zone of December 2025, and also the average holding cost line for institutional ETFs.

MACD shows an initial golden cross on the 4H chart, volume gently increasing but not exploding—indicating the main players haven’t moved yet, still waiting.

But don’t forget—at $90, SOL has hit the wall three times.

Bull-bear showdown, see for yourself.

One side:

- Visa + Western Union + Meta institutional-grade payments landing

- ETF weekly inflow of $58 million, over $1 billion accumulated

- Developer count surpassing ETH, on the verge of ecosystem explosion

- Firedancer upgrade imminent, performance doubled again

- $80 is the institutional holding cost line

Other side:

- Pump fun continues to dump, another $8.3 million SOL sold

- Meme tide receding, liquidity drained

- BTC dominance at 59.6%, altcoin season not here yet

- Three failed attempts to break $90, psychological pressure huge

Key level: $82.3, only $7.7 away from the critical $90 line.

Resistance above: $87 → $90 (bull-bear life and death line) → $97.5 → $106

Support below: $81-$80 (strong bottom) → $75-$78 (extreme case)

Short-term traders:

Wait for a pullback to $81.5-$82.5 to buy in batches, stop-loss at $80.5, first target to take half at $87. Break above $90, chase longs, stop-loss at $87, target $97.5-$106.

Swing traders:

Wait for the daily close above $90 before entering, use dynamic take-profit to hold, target $110-$120, don’t get shaken out by a washout.

Long-term believers:

Invest blindly below $80. SOL dropped from $293 to $80, a 72% decline, but fundamentals are 10 times stronger than in 2024. End-of-2026 target: $150-$200, betting on institutional payments + enterprise adoption positive cycle.

SOL now is like Solana at the end of 2023—

99% of people think “meme is dead, SOL is finished,” but then Visa comes in, and #成长值抽奖赢金条 it jumps from $80 to $146.
