Solana

On 16 March, T. Rowe Price submitted an amended S-1 to the U.S. SEC for its proposed Price Active Crypto ETF, outlining a basket of roughly five to fifteen cryptocurrencies spanning Bitcoin, Ethereum and several altcoins. The actively managed fund would reference the FTSE Crypto U.S. Listed Index, custody assets with Anchorage Digital Bank, start with cash creations and redemptions, and may later allow in-kind transactions and potential staking if regulations and tax guidance evolve.

Solana has extended its advance after moving above $88, breaking through $92 and briefly surpassing the $95 resistance while holding above the 100-hour simple moving average. The SOL/USD pair is now trading around $95 with a bullish trend line near $94, and traders are watching the $98 and $100 resistance zones as potential triggers for a move toward $105 or even $112. Failure to clear $98, however, could see the price retrace toward supports at $94, $92 and possibly $88 or $82.

Solana-based memecoin PENGU has rallied over 12% in the last 24 hours to trade around $0.0081, while its volume has spiked by 170%. Derivatives positioning, whale accumulation and repeated tests of the $0.00815 resistance suggest a potential 22% upside toward $0.0104 if the price can secure a daily close above $0.0085.

Solana investment products saw $9.1 million in net inflows last week, marking six straight weeks of gains and lifting year-to-date inflows to $181 million. Analysts note SOL has been forming higher lows around $88–$92 and reclaiming key structure above $90–$92, while immediate resistance sits near $94–$95 and the 100-day moving average around $105–$110 remains a major barrier. With SOL recently trading at $94.59 after a 7.36% daily jump, a decisive move above $96–$100 or below $92 could determine the next short-term trend.

Solana is trading around $93 after a 7% rise since Sunday, with traders focusing on the key $100 psychological resistance. Weekly net inflows into Solana investment products have reached $10.70 million and futures open interest has climbed to $5.79 billion, highlighting strong institutional participation. If SOL clears resistance near $94 and holds above key moving averages, analysts see room for a potential move toward $100 and beyond, while a failure could send the price back toward the $80 area.

On March 16, 2026, the global crypto market value moved back above $2.5 trillion to around $2.51 trillion, up about 3.19% in recent sessions. Bitcoin changed hands near $73,780 with roughly 9% weekly gains, while Ethereum advanced almost 13% over seven days and several major altcoins including Solana, XRP and BNB also rose. Market indicators such as the Fear & Greed Index at 41 and the Altcoin Season Index at 45 show sentiment is improving but still short of a full altcoin-led phase.

The Official Trump ($TRUMP) token is making a big comeback, trading around $4.01 to $4.08 on March 16, 2026, after jumping 65% from last week’s lows. The main reason for this surge is the announcement of the Mar-a-Lago Gala and the Crypto & Business Conference set for April 25, 2026.

Prediction market data shows traders are assigning a majority probability that Ethereum could lose its position as the second‑largest crypto asset in 2026, with Polymarket odds fluctuating between 51% and 61%. While Ethereum pursues major technical upgrades and saw around $2,105.55 in price with ETF inflows of about $26.7 million on 13 March, Solana is drawing attention through high stablecoin usage, heavy USDC minting, and significantly higher transaction volumes.

Solana's price is forming a firmer short-term structure above key moving averages while traders monitor whether resistance near $90.85 can be cleared. Order book data shows significant sell walls around $92 to $95, while buyers are active at support zones near $85, $84 and down toward $80, leaving the market cautiously tilted in favor of bulls but still dependent on overcoming visible overhead supply.

Solana has approved the SIMD-0266 proposal, which introduces p-tokens to improve compute efficiency and potentially reduce transaction processing costs, with a mainnet launch targeted for April. As this upgrade approaches, large investors are accumulating SOL and buyers are dominating both spot and futures markets while the token tests a critical resistance formed by the 50-day EMA and the upper boundary of a wedge pattern.
