Open interest in Solana fell to $4.96 billion on Friday. This level represents a steady decline since mid-January and matches lows not seen since mid-April 2025.
The Relative Strength Index sits at 26 on the daily chart. This indicates an extreme oversold condition with strong bearish momentum present.
Technical analysis shows Solana formed a head-and-shoulders pattern on the weekly chart. The cryptocurrency moved below the 61.8% Fibonacci Retracement level at $117.
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence showed a bearish crossover on January 19. Red histogram bars below the neutral level continue to support the negative outlook.
Analysts suggest the price could decline further toward the February 6 low of $67.50. A close below that level could push the price toward the $60 psychological level or lower at $50.
Recovery would require Solana to move above the $80 level. A stronger reversal would need the price to climb above the 50% Fibonacci Retracement level at $150.
Citigroup joins other major financial institutions embracing blockchain technology for traditional financial products. The bank’s entry into Solana represents continued institutional adoption of the network despite current price weakness.
