Solana Price Prediction: SOL Risks Deeper Drop as Bears Target $20

Solana holds near key support, but analysts warn SOL could face deeper losses if bearish momentum continues.

Solana has slipped back below $100, putting one of its most important price levels back in play. SOL was trading around $98.30 on Sept. 14, down roughly 2.2% on the day and about 4.7% over seven days as macro pressure and weaker ETF demand weighed on the market. tradingkey.com That makes $100 the immediate line to watch. Solana has already spent much of September testing this area, and Coinpaper recently highlighted the $97.70 breakout zone as the level separating a constructive recovery from a deeper pullback. Coinpaper What Happens Above $100? A convincing reclaim of $100 would not immediately put Solana back into a full bull trend. The first challenge sits around $106–$110, where previous price action and liquidation liquidity have created resistance. Beyond that, Coinpaper’s earlier technical work identified roughly $117–$120 as the next significant hurdle. Coinpaper That leaves a fairly clear roadmap: Scenario	SOL level	What it could mean Bearish	$80–$85	$98 support fails and the correction deepens Base	$95–$100	SOL remains stuck around the psychological level Bullish	$106–$120	Buyers regain momentum Breakout	Above $120	$145–$150 becomes a more realistic target   A move above $100 would therefore be encouraging, but the stronger confirmation would come from clearing the $106–$120 resistance area. ETF Demand Has Started to Cool Institutional demand is also sending mixed signals. Solana ETFs have attracted roughly $1.3 billion in cumulative net inflows, while Bitwise’s BSOL recently became the first U.S. Solana ETF to cross $1 billion in assets. Coinpaper covered that $1 billion ETF milestone earlier this month. Coinpaper But the latest flows have become less consistent. Solana ETFs recorded about $11.7 million of inflows on Sept. 9, followed by small net outflows on Sept. 10 and Sept. 11. SolanaFloor That matters because the August rally above $100 coincided with stronger institutional buying. A renewed ETF inflow streak would make another SOL breakout easier to sustain. Solana’s Network Is Telling a Different Story The more unusual angle is that price weakness is arriving while parts of the Solana network continue expanding. The number of addresses holding tokenized equities on Solana reportedly crossed 800,000 on Sept. 12, up from roughly 425,000 at the start of September—an increase of about 88% in less than two weeks. CryptoRank That creates a useful divergence. SOL price momentum has cooled, yet adoption around tokenized stocks is accelerating. If that activity develops into lasting demand rather than a short-lived spike, the network story could eventually become a stronger fundamental tailwind. Coinpaper has also tracked how ETF momentum previously helped SOL defend $100, making the current combination of weaker flows and stronger network activity particularly worth watching. Coinpaper Can Solana Reach $120 Again? The setup is straightforward. Above $100: $106–$110 comes first. Above $110: $117–$120 becomes the major test. Above $120: roughly $145–$150 moves back into view. Below $97: downside risk increases toward $80–$85. For now, Solana is caught between improving network fundamentals and a tougher market backdrop.

Solana is holding near support, but analysts say the chart still lacks clear bullish confirmation. If bearish momentum continues, SOL could face another leg lower, with some traders even watching a possible move toward $20 by 2026.

Solana Holds Support, but Bears Still Control the Bigger Picture

Solana is trading near a key support zone, but the chart has yet to provide confirmation that a lasting recovery has begun, according to MCO Global.

The analysis uses Elliott Wave theory and suggests that the recent decline may not be complete. SOL found support near the 61.8% to 78.6% Fibonacci retracement zone between $61.75 and $63.05, an area where short-term bounces often emerge. However, the rebound has so far lacked the impulsive structure needed to confirm a trend reversal.

According to the chart, a bullish scenario would require a clear five-wave advance followed by a breakout above $72.57, which marks a key invalidation level for the bearish outlook. Until then, MCO Global maintains that the larger corrective decline remains the preferred scenario.

If support fails to hold, the Elliott Wave count points to the possibility of another leg lower, with downside targets extending toward the mid-$40 range.

For now, the message is straightforward: a bounce is possible, but Solana has not yet done enough to prove that a broader bullish reversal is underway.

Solana Could Drop to $20 by the End of 2026, Analyst Warns

Crypto analyst Bully believes the market is underestimating how much further Solana could fall, arguing that SOL may decline to $20 by the end of 2026.

The monthly chart shows Solana trading near $66 after a prolonged decline from its recent highs above $250. The analyst highlighted a historical support zone between $15 and $25, suggesting the market could revisit this area if bearish momentum persists.

According to the chart, SOL previously consolidated within this range during the 2022-2023 bear market before launching into a strong recovery. Bully argues that if broader market conditions weaken and investor sentiment deteriorates, the same support zone could come back into focus.

However, the bearish outlook remains a projection rather than a confirmed scenario. Solana would first need to lose its current support levels and continue making lower highs and lower lows on higher time frames.

While many investors remain optimistic about Solana's long-term prospects, the analysis serves as a reminder that major cryptocurrencies can experience deep drawdowns even during broader bull market cycles.

For now, $20 remains an aggressive downside target rather than the base-case scenario, but the chart suggests traders should not completely dismiss the possibility.
