Solana remains under pressure as markets weigh US-Iran talks, Fed risks and US midterm elections
Forexlive
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; margin: 7px 0; font-size: 15px;">Solana sold off sharply on Thursday following
the news of the Binance hack, with concerns about potential contagion across
the crypto ecosystem weighing on sentiment. The increase in liquidations
amplified the downside, with SOL especially vulnerable given its higher
volatility and speculative positioning.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; margin: 7px 0; font-size: 15px;">Nevertheless, Solana eventually rebounded as
Binance pledged to cover customer losses and concerns gradually eased.
Improving sentiment around US-Iran negotiations also helped support risk
appetite.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; margin: 7px 0; font-size: 15px;">Looking ahead, the macro backdrop remains
challenging amid inflation risks, growth concerns, expectations of further Fed
tightening and geopolitical uncertainty limiting a sustained recovery. Solana is
also sensitive to changes in overall crypto market sentiment, given its
higher-beta characteristics.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; margin: 7px 0; font-size: 15px;">We will likely need a breakthrough in US-Iran
negotiations or more dovish Fed signals to change the current bearish trend. A
surprising Republican sweep in the US midterm elections could also provide support
through expectations of further fiscal expansion. A Democratic sweep, on the
other hand, could lead to more downside for SOL if negotiations with Iran fail
to progress or, worse, Trump decides to escalate the conflict.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; margin: 7px 0; font-size: 15px;"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0 0 11px; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">SOLANA TECHNICAL ANALYSIS – DAILY TIMEFRAME</p><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; margin: 7px 0; font-size: 15px;">On the daily chart, we can see that <a href="https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/SOLUSD/" rel="follow">Solana</a>broke through the key 97.00 support after the Binance hack and it’s
