Foreign media reports that Solana has once again fallen below the $80 mark, after failing to recover $100 in May. The article argues that this decline is not solely due to the performance of a single currency, but rather reflects a broader context where US inflation, interest rate expectations, and the situation in the Middle East have collectively dampened risk asset sentiment.
Short-term performance continues to weaken.
The article cites data from CoinCodex, stating that SOL has been in a downward trend across various timeframes. According to the data, SOL has fallen 2.5% in the past 24 hours and 5.4% in the past 7 days.
The article identifies $80 as a new level to watch. The market had previously anticipated SOL to reclaim $100 in May, but this rebound failed to materialize, and prices subsequently weakened again.
Macroeconomic factors became the main pressure.
The article argues that the SOL's weakening since last month is related to higher-than-expected US inflation in April 2026. Stronger-than-expected inflation data typically weakens market expectations for easing policies and also lowers risk appetite for highly volatile assets such as crypto assets.
The article also mentions that the latest developments in the US-Iran situation may continue to put pressure on the economy and markets. Against this backdrop, the Federal Reserve is more likely to maintain interest rates; however, if inflation and external risks persist, expectations for further policy tightening may also rise.
The rebound still depends on the overall market.
The article argues that SOL may continue its weak trend in the short term, and whether it stabilizes depends not only on the project itself, but also on the recovery of risk appetite in the entire crypto market.
The article concludes that the crypto market is unlikely to experience sustained positive volatility until the conflict between the US and Iran shows significant signs of easing. For SOL, selling pressure is likely to continue if the macroeconomic environment does not improve.
