Crypto influencer Ash Crypto addressed the streak directly on June 1. “This is unbelievable,” he said. “ SOL just closed 8 consecutive red monthly candles for the first time in history.”

The run stretches from October 2025 through May 2026. SOL peaked near $220 to $230 in October 2025, carrying a market cap above $120 billion. It now trades around $81, with a market cap of approximately $47 billion. That represents roughly $78 billion in market cap erosion from peak levels.

Year-to-date in 2026, SOL opened near $138 in January and hit a low of around $68 in April before a partial recovery. The asset is down approximately 38% to 42% from that January open.

Several factors have kept pressure on SOL through the first half of 2026.

Macro conditions remain tight. Federal Reserve policy has been very restrictive, and risk-off flows have weighed on speculative assets broadly. Meme coin activity, which provided meaningful tailwinds for Solana’s network in 2024 and early 2025, has faded massively. Retail speculative volume has pulled back across the board.

Technically, SOL has been rejected repeatedly near the $85 to $90 zone. Some traders are watching for a breakdown below current support levels that could push the price toward $70.

Despite the price decline, Solana’s underlying network continues to post strong usage numbers.

As of June 1, the Solana DeFi ecosystem holds $5.31 billion in total value locked, down 1.4% in the past 24 hours. The network processed 75.71 million transactions in the last 24 hours, with 1.64 million daily active addresses. The stablecoin market cap on Solana stands at $14.659 billion.

Developer work continues on Firedancer and Alpenglow, two upgrades targeting faster finality and throughput improvements. Non-vote transaction counts have remained near record levels in recent quarters.

Bulls point to the fresh June monthly candle as a potential inflection point. The $80 to $82 range has shown demand in recent weeks. Longer-term price targets from analysts include a near-term recovery toward $85 to $88, with optimistic cycle scenarios eyeing $120 to $150 or higher later in 2026 if macro conditions improve.

Institutional interest, exchange-traded fund (ETF)-related inflows, and tokenized real-world asset growth on Solana are also cited as potential catalysts. To date, eight ETFs traded in the U.S. have seen cumulative total net inflows of around $1.13 billion, according to sosovalue.com stats.

The key risks to monitor are continued resistance at $85 to $90, any further slowdown in ETF inflows, and a potential breakdown below the $80 support zone that could accelerate selling toward $70.

For now, SOL sits at a crossroads: eight months of price deterioration against a network that keeps processing transactions at scale.
