$SOL just lived through a 16% weekly bleed and touched $78.73 — levels not seen since early 2024. The recovery since then has been tentative. Price is currently consolidating between $84 and $89, which feels less like strength and more like exhaustion-stage indecision.
What stood out to me: Solana crossed 150 million daily transactions for the first time while price was collapsing. That kind of divergence between on-chain usage and market price usually means one of two things — the market is pricing in macro risk over fundamentals, or the sell-off is overdone relative to actual network activity.
Stablecoin inflows on Solana have flattened, and TVL slipped 5–7% in a week Coinpedia. Liquidity isn't rushing back yet. The $90 level remains the structural question — not a target, just the level where momentum shifts from defense to offense.
