Solana’s Price Falls Below Key Technical Level, Signaling Potential Extended Decline

Solana’s price has plummeted below its realized price level for the first time since March 2022, dropping to $124 on March 11, 2025—about 8% below the $134 realized price, according to data from blockchain analytics firm Glassnode.

This significant technical breach, last seen nearly three years ago, indicates that many Solana (SOL) holders are now “underwater,” meaning they purchased their tokens at higher prices than their current value, potentially signaling an extended decline ahead. The realized price, which reflects the average price at which SOL tokens were last moved or bought, serves as a critical indicator, and its breach often precedes prolonged price slides, as seen in March 2022 when Solana entered a multi-week downturn before recovering above this level in November 2023.

However, historical data also shows instances, like November 2020, where SOL briefly dipped below $2 but rebounded by February 2021, leaving uncertainty about the current trajectory.

Solana’s decline coincides with a broader market sell-off, driven by macroeconomic uncertainties, such as Trump administration tariffs on major trading partners and Federal Reserve caution on interest rates, alongside crypto-specific pressures. DefiLlama data reveals Solana’s fee revenue has crashed to around $420,000 per day—a 90% drop since January when SOL traded at $250—likely fueled by the fading memecoin frenzy that once boosted its activity. As the third-largest token by market cap behind Ethereum and Bitcoin, Solana’s struggles highlight the challenges of maintaining momentum amid competition from networks like Hyperliquid and Ethereum, which have seen stronger DeFi and futures trading volumes.

For investors, this drop raises concerns, but long-term optimism persists, with asset management firm VanEck projecting in October 2023 that Solana could achieve a 10,000% growth by 2030 if it reaches 100 million users, though bearish scenarios could see SOL trading as low as $9.81, while bullish cases suggest a potential rise above $3,200 by the end of the decade.
