Solana (SOL) Current Status and Short-Term Outlook: Struggling Near a Key Support Level
The bottom line: Solana is currently in a clearly weak short-term trend. As of November 6, 2026, SOL has fallen below the psychological $90 mark and is hovering around $88–$89. Technical indicators show oversold signals, but the trend has not yet reversed. In the short term (over the next few days), the key question is whether SOL can hold support near $88. If it breaks below that level, it could fall further to $85 or even lower. If it stabilizes, a technical rebound may follow, although strong resistance lies in the $93–$98 range.
Recent Price Action and Market Context
SOL has performed weakly over the past month. It has continued to decline from around $118 in early October, losing more than 20% overall. The downturn accelerated in November. Between November 5 and 6, a sharp sell-off in U.S. tech stocks (with the Nasdaq plunging 5.5% in a single day) weighed on the crypto market, dampening overall risk appetite and briefly sending SOL down nearly 7% in a single day. Meanwhile, events within the ecosystem added to selling pressure, including lending protocol Loopscale halting operations over security concerns and uncertainty surrounding the approaching validator upgrade deadline. In derivatives markets, a large number of long positions were liquidated during the downturn, amplifying the losses further.
Key Technical Signals
Technical indicators show SOL in a contradictory state: “oversold, but with the trend unchanged”:
· Moving averages: The price has fallen below the 50-day and 200-day moving averages, both of which are above the current price (at around $103 and $98, respectively), creating resistance. Short-term moving averages (such as the 20-day SMA at around $98.95) are also acting as resistance.
· Momentum indicators: The daily RSI has entered oversold territory (around 29 to 37, depending on the data source). This usually means short-term selling pressure may be nearing exhaustion, creating an opportunity for a technical rebound. However, the MACD remains in negative territory and has not formed a golden cross, indicating that downward momentum has not yet fully dissipated.
· Key levels: Initial support lies in the $88–$89 area (near the 200-day moving average and recent lows). If the daily close falls below this area, the next support is at $85, with stronger support around $82–$83. Initial resistance is at $93, with stronger resistance in the $98–$100 range. Only a recovery above this area could potentially break the short-term bearish trend.
Short-Term Outlook (Next Few Days)
Overall, SOL’s short-term direction will likely depend on the interplay between two factors:
Downside risk: If Bitcoin and other major assets continue to weaken, or market sentiment deteriorates further, the likelihood of SOL breaking below the $88 support level will increase. A confirmed break below it could trigger another wave of stop-loss selling, with targets at $85 and potentially the $80–$82 area.
Potential rebound: The oversold RSI reading and the proximity of long-term moving average support create conditions for a technical rebound. If buyers step in near $88, SOL could stage a corrective bounce toward $93–$95. However, with a cluster of moving averages acting as overhead resistance, the rebound may not last unless SOL breaks above $98 on strong volume.
A Bright Spot for the Medium to Long Term
Despite short-term pressure, Solana continues to make progress in institutional adoption. On November 4, asset management giant Schroders, with $1.1 trillion in assets under management, partnered with Centrifuge to bring one of its emerging-market bond funds to the Solana network in tokenized form. This is another practical use case for Solana’s blockchain infrastructure by a major traditional finance firm. While it is unlikely to reverse the price trend directly in the short term, it provides fundamental support for the ecosystem’s long-term value.
