Solana underperforms as US spot Solana ETFs record net outflows, ending a 14-week inflow streak <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; margin: 7px 0; line-height: normal; font-size: 15px;">Solana
came under renewed pressure yesterday as the broader crypto market weakened
amid surging crude oil prices. SOL is also showing signs of relative weakness,
with US spot Solana ETFs recording their first weekly net outflows after a
14-week streak of inflows.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; margin: 7px 0; line-height: normal; font-size: 15px;">During
the Asian session, the pullback in oil prices helped trigger a reversal across
risk assets, including cryptocurrencies. However, the geopolitical situation
remains broadly unchanged, with continued Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia and
US-Iran negotiations at a stalemate. Unless the Fed turns more dovish, these
risks could continue to cap SOL's upside</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; margin: 7px 0; line-height: normal; font-size: 15px;">Looking
at Solana-specific developments, Samsung Wallet is scheduled to begin
supporting USDC cross-border transfers on Solana across 82 million US Galaxy
devices in the last week of October. This strengthens the longer-term adoption
thesis, but unfortunately the macro backdrop has been limiting the gains. </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; margin: 7px 0; line-height: normal; font-size: 15px;">Looking
ahead, tomorrow's US CPI report is the key near-term catalyst. A hotter than expected
core reading could trigger a hawkish repricing and another selloff in SOL,
while soft data could provide a short-term boost. </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; margin: 7px 0; line-height: normal; font-size: 15px;"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0 0 11px; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; line-height: normal; font-size: 15px;">SOLANA TECHNICAL ANALYSIS – DAILY TIMEFRAME</p><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; margin: 7px 0; line-height: normal; font-size: 15px;">On the
daily chart, we can see that <a href="https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/SOLUSD/" rel="follow">Solana</a> broke
below the major upward trendline, retested it, and continued lower. The natural
target for the sellers should be the support zone around the 97.00 level. If
the price gets there, we can expect the buyers to step in, with a defined risk
below the support, to position for a rally into the 148.00 level. The sellers,
on the other hand, will want to see the price breaking lower to increase the
bearish bets into the major upward trendline. </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; margin: 7px 0; line-height: normal; font-size: 15px;"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0 0 11px; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; line-height: normal; font-size: 15px;">SOLANA TECHNICAL ANALYSIS – 4 HOUR TIMEFRAME</p><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; margin: 7px 0; line-height: normal; font-size: 15px;">On the 4
hour chart, we have a downward trendline defining the bearish momentum. If we
get a pullback, we can expect the sellers to lean on the trendline, with a
defined risk above it, to keep pushing into the 97.00 support. The buyers, on
the other hand, will need to break above the trendline and the 113.00
resistance to start targeting new highs.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; margin: 7px 0; line-height: normal; font-size: 15px;"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; margin: 7px 0; line-height: normal; font-size: 15px;">SOLANA TECHNICAL
ANALYSIS – 1 HOUR TIMEFRAME</p><p></p><p>On the 1 hour chart, there’s
not much we can add here as the sellers will have a better risk to reward setup
around the downward trendline, while the buyers will need a break above the trendline
and the resistance to open the door for new highs.
