Solana (SOL) is trading at $155.62 at press time, with a 3.77% decline in the last 24 hours. Trading volume has declined by 10.20% to $3.7 billion, indicating a cooling interest following recent activity. Nearly 12% price decline over the past week suggests some consolidation after a strong rally.

Analysts talk of a consolidation phase below the critical resistance at $160. Momentum has dipped, and volume is receding, exhibiting a fleeting advantage to the bears. However, it has proven resilient above $141, hence the overall view remains cautiously bullish. While the RSI sits at 38.69 , in oversold territory , technical indicators like the MACD point to bearish pressure in the short term.

Solana price predictions for 2025

Predictions for Solana in 2025 are quite different. According to DigitalCoinPrice, SOL would see a spectacular recovery and pass $342 by the end of the year. This optimistic prediction rests on the assumption that Solana’s price would need to surpass its previous high of $294 and move into uncharted territory with new highs between $308 and $342. After several corrections, investors are optimistic that this signifies a return to bullish territory.

Conversely, Changelly offers a more conservative outlook by predicting that the price of SOL in 2025 would be between $154.61 and $159.04 with an average of around $163.46. Moreover, projections for late May 2025 indicate a possible decline to $153.86, which means there is very little upside and also a negative return on investment. This shows one of the major reasons why the crypto space is still dominated by high volatility and uncertainty: sensitivity to public perceptions.
