Solana (SOL) is dropping with the rest of the crypto market today, down 5.50% to $134.12 (SOL/USD). The coin has only been in decline for a short while, though.

It could easily correct and climb back up, and recent performance from this token has shown that it is somewhat resilient when the rest of the market is being pulled down by Bitcoin.

Solana is trading near its support level and is likely to turn around very soon and start trading higher. Trade volume is about even with the previous day, despite the dip, and that indicator of stability shows that Solana is holding strong.

Solana recently shot up when news broke that a new Solana ETF would be launching soon. We expect to hear more news along those lines over the next few months, which should help spur trading among Solana investors.

Solana Is Not on Bitcoin’s Leash

Although Bitcoin does have a major effect on the rest of the cryptocurrency market, it has less effect on Solana than many of the other coins. That is because Solana is a high ranking coin with a lot of momentum on its own. We have seen the coin exercise that momentum recently as it climbed while Bitcoin was dropping.

Even though Bitcoin is at its lowest point in months, sitting below $60K and hanging around its late February 2024 levels, Solana is only somewhat depressed at the moment. The coin actually dropped much lower in May and is showing more stability than many other major cryptos.

Over the past year, Solana has grown by nearly 600%, so this is a safe crypto to invest in, comparatively speaking. The market is volatile at the moment, but Solana seems to be performing as a rather reliable token amidst the chaos. We would recommend it as one of the safer bets on the crypto market right now.
