Solana price stabilized around $130 on the morning of November 18, limiting losses to 1.5% as global crypto markets opened lower. Traders are cautiously positioning themselves ahead of a high-stakes U.S. Congressional vote on Nov. 18, as political tensions escalate as accusations against President Trump continue to mount, including the ongoing investigation into Jeffery Epstein. Positive catalysts are beginning to emerge for Solana![]() Fidelity joins Bitwise (BSOL) and Grayscale (GSOL), which received approval for their Solana ETF late last month. At press time, BSOL held $357.8 million in SOL, while GSOL managed $24.4 million. Neither ETF has reported a single day of outflows since trading began on Oct. 29, as big investors chose to take advantage of Solana's attractive yields amid recent market turmoil. On the other hand, community tracker Solana Floor reports that Pump.fun's historical total revenue exceeds $900 million. The token generation platform, launched in January 2024, has created viral projects like Fartcoin, Moo, and Peanut the Squirrel, each of which reached a billion-dollar market cap within months of launch. Momentum weakens but buyers seek to re-enter the zoneSolana is trading at $130, with the price still well below the 50-week SMA of $176.55, which was a key rejection point throughout October. A recovery above this level would mark the first sign that bulls are re-accelerating. Using $226 as a base, the Parabolic SAR is showing well above Solana’s current price, confirming that momentum remains clearly negative on the weekly time frame. The current RSI is 38.41, which is close to oversold levels, but still above extreme conditions. The Bull-Short Power Indicator (BBP) is at negative 79.77, indicating selling pressure consistent with the final stages of the weekly decline. If Fidelity accelerates corporate inflows, SOL could rally back to $150. However, if political risks weigh on the market further on the November 18 vote, the $120 bottom could be tested again. Conversely, a decisive regain of $150 would neutralize the bearish momentum and put SOL price on track to retest the 100-week SMA at $164.71, followed by the 50-week SMA at $176.55 |
