Solana

On January 12, 2026, automated trading bot platform Trojan introduced a Solana-based trading terminal that integrates MetaMask as its native wallet. The new terminal, branded as the Trojan on Solana Bot, targets millions of existing users with features like lightning-fast execution, custom routing, copy trading, and auto-selling. With support for Ethereum, Solana, and Bitcoin via MetaMask, the platform aims to enhance the trading experience and draw in users from multiple blockchains.

On January 12, Solana traded around $139.98 while broader crypto markets turned red. The price hovered near local support at $139.05, with short‑term charts suggesting a possible move toward $138 and daily signals pointing to a $130–$135 test if the candle closes weak. In the midterm, attention centers on the $144.80 level, as a close above it could open the way to the $150–$160 range before the end of the month.

On 12 January 2026, Solana's price hovered just under a key resistance zone around $145 after briefly touching the mid-$140s. Network data shows weekly new wallet creation has dropped from about 30.2 million at its November 2024 peak to roughly 7.3 million, raising doubts about the strength of the current move. Traders are watching whether a rebound in on-chain activity and speculation over a potential X integration can support a sustained breakout.

Crypto.com has opened a new Airdrop Arena campaign featuring a US$250,000 SOL reward pool for participants who allocate CRO. The event runs from 1 January 2026, 10:00 UTC to 31 January 2026, 09:59 UTC, with points-based rewards and no trading requirement. CRO allocations are locked for 6 months, and SOL is distributed within 7 days after the campaign ends.

LISA, tied to the AgentaLISA project on Solana, fell 76% in 24 hours. A SafeProxy wallet linked to the team moved 10 million LISA (about $1.65 million) to a Binance Alpha wallet at 01:50 UTC; about 25–30 minutes later, three sales totaling around $170,000 hit the market, amid community speculation about 4x rewards.

Between Jan. 5 and Jan. 9, institutional money flowed out of Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs while moving into XRP and Solana products. Bitcoin spot ETFs recorded about $681 million in redemptions and Ethereum saw $68.57 million in outflows, compared with inflows of $38.07 million for XRP and $41.08 million for Solana. This rotation shows investors trimming exposure to larger assets and reallocating toward altcoins with newer growth narratives.

On January 12, crypto markets advanced, with Bitcoin at $92,300 (+1.3%) and Ethereum at $3,150 (over 1%). Solana rose 2.5% to a $144 high, while Monero briefly reached an all-time high of $596 before easing to $563. FET and Render showed technical breakouts, and Bitcoin Hyper's ICO raised over $30.3 million.

An anonymous 4chan poster known for previous Bitcoin cycle calls has outlined fresh macro targets, projecting BTC at $200,000, ETH at $10,000 and SOL at $1,000 in 2026. The outlook ties these levels to shifting liquidity dynamics and rotation into higher-risk assets, while Solana’s recent move to around $141, with support defended near $128–$131, keeps technical sentiment constructive despite moderating network growth.

Crypto markets were largely unchanged over the weekend, then firmed Monday in Asia with Bitcoin up 1.7% to $92,000 and Ether near $3,150. From Jan. 12 to 16, investors will watch U.S. December CPI, November PPI, housing data, jobless claims, and bank earnings, alongside reaction to a proposed 10% cap on credit card rates.

Solana's price extended above $140 and is consolidating near $142 on the hourly chart. Based on Kraken's SOL/USD data, trendline support sits at $138, while resistance levels are $144 and $145; a close above $150 could open $162 and $170. If $145 holds, supports are $142 and $140, with the 50% Fib of $135–$144 near $140.
