• Solana is going through a tough time with significant price reductions, yet it is still able to maintain its strong position in the market.
• Traders are in a state of extreme fear as the month is characterized by high prices and large price swings.
• Forecasts indicate that Solana might regain the lost ground during December.

Solana is facing yet another challenge. Current price is $126.27, which is a reduction of almost 11% in just one day. The traders are hurt by this decline. The market value has reduced to $70.59 billion and the market share is now 2.48%. On such days the trading platforms are covered in red and the optimism gets subdued.

Solana, however, has faced even more severe turbulence. The highest price of $295.40 occurred on January 19, 2025, when the blockchain delivered a powerful message of its potential.

The lowest was $0.5037 in May 2020, a time when hardly anyone thought of the eventual giant it would turn into. Besides, cycle low after the peak came at $96.09, which was also the starting point for the chain’s rise to $252.85, thus confirming the tendency of this chain to bounce back whenever it is written off.

However, the present market is not a pleasant one and the trend is downward. At 14, the Fear & Greed Index indicates Extreme Fear, the very situation in which traders are reluctant to act and talk only in whispers.

Solana in the Grip of Fear

Over the past month, Solana has made a significant downward movement, it lost 31.75% in USD value, 4.20% in Ethereum value, and 11.71% in Bitcoin value. The coin had a tough month with only 11 days of price increase out of 30, and it experienced a volatility of 12.79%. The market is following a very stormy path.

Nevertheless, the ground beneath the chain still holds well. The total amount of SOL in circulation is 559.02 million. The rate of inflation is at 17.77% which means that 84.35 million SOL were added during the last year. It’s doing great in its category, 3rd in Proof-of-Stake, 2nd in the network sector, 5th among Layer-1s, and 3rd in U.S.-based crypto projects. Those rankings can hardly be called weak.

And the global market continues to deal with it firmly, during the past day, $25.13 billion traded through 133 exchanges, from Binance to KuCoin. The fear factor did not halt movement.

Solana and the Road Ahead

Predictions provide a glimpse of a gradual increase. In five days, the value of Solana could be $131.64, which is a slight increase of 4.09% compared to the current value. The forecast for the following week is a narrower range of $131.16 and $132.69. Reaching the higher limit would mean an increase of 1.17% by the end of 2025, December 1.

December could bring more power. The analysts estimate a 10.46% increase which will bring Solana up to $144.58 on December 21, 2025. It is not a glorious race, but a slow and sure march.

Solana had gone down on its knees many times. It had revived a number of times. Now, it stands ready in an extreme fear shadow for whatever comes next.
