According to Dune, Solana’s network activity fell 97% in Q4 2025, with monthly active traders sliding from over 30 million in late 2024 to under 1 million in 2025. SOL dropped from nearly $300 to the $120 yearly support as memecoin-driven activity weakened, while analysts debated outcomes ranging from a $50–$75 target in H1 2026 to a 15% rebound toward $134–$140.

Bitcoin's latest rebound above $86,800 has stalled after buyers failed to hold above the $89,250 resistance, leaving the price consolidating beneath $89,000.

A decisive move above $89,500 could open the way to $90,500 and higher, while a break below $87,000–$86,800 may trigger a deeper pullback toward $85,500 or even $84,400.
