Solana rallied from $147.99 to $161.21 in the four days ending June 10. The move contrasts with the trend seen over the previous 30 days, where SOL slipped by nearly 2% as volatile macroeconomic conditions weighed on the altcoin market.
The resurgence follows last week’s flash crash that briefly drove the price down to $141, shaking out overleveraged traders and exposing a fragile liquidity environment. That episode appears to have acted as a local capitulation point.
Since then, SOL has not only recovered but outperformed most other large-cap assets, bolstered by a clear uptick in daily trading volumes and renewed demand on spot markets.
This bounce in Solana came amid a broad improvement in sentiment across risk assets. Markets responded positively to the announcement on June 9 that the United States and China would resume trade talks, a move seen as de-escalating tension between the world’s two largest economies.
At the same time, all eyes are on a key US bond auction that could shape expectations for future rate policy. With Bitcoin rallying above $109,000, Solana’s jump shows renewed market confidence rather than a purely isolated move.
The speed of the rebound suggests short-term positioning played a major role. The sharp uptick over the weekend came on relatively light volume, especially when compared to the more panicked selling earlier this month.
Weekend rallies in crypto often fail to hold without confirmation, but Monday’s continuation implies it’s more than just a squeeze, as spot demand appears to be stabilizing.
Still, Solana faces hurdles, as the $160 level seems to lack the strength to turn into resistance. It has repeatedly failed to build above the $160–165 zone since May, and whether this week’s breakout can gain traction hinges on broader market follow-through.
The macro backdrop may offer temporary relief, but sustained upside likely requires either fresh news from the Solana ecosystem or a further surge in institutional appetite across the crypto market.
