Solana has recovered nearly 6% in the past day, rebounding from selling pressure that followed the Federal Reserve’s recent interest rate hike, and now trades at $106. The sharp drop earlier in the week came when Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh reaffirmed the central bank’s ongoing commitment to curbing inflation, sending SOL briefly down to $96 before buyers stepped in.
The Federal Reserve raised its policy interest rate after inflation remained elevated at an annual rate of 3.4% in August, significantly above its 2% target. Warsh, addressing the outlook, stated policymakers are still not certain inflation is returning to the desired level quickly or clearly enough.
This monetary tightening initially pressured cryptocurrencies, including Solana, but markets largely expected the move. As a result, SOL’s decline was limited in duration. Within 48 hours, demand for the token intensified, and its price rebounded above $100, highlighting resilience among crypto investors despite broader market unease.
Current futures data suggests a 41% chance of an additional rate increase by December. Any further policy tightening could bolster the US dollar and restrict liquidity available to speculative assets like SOL.
Solana’s recent gains coincide with accelerating institutional adoption and growing development activity. On Thursday, Galaxy, a Nasdaq-listed firm managing over $7 billion in assets, announced it is curating two lending vaults on Kamino, one denominated in USDC and another in USDT. This marks a significant step as major institutional players increasingly participate in Solana’s decentralized finance ecosystem.
Additionally, network activity expanded with the listing of Injective’s INJ token and Project Harmonia’s integration of Allfunds’ distribution network for tokenized funds based on Solana’s blockchain. Both initiatives further diversify the range of products and infrastructure available on the network.
Solana also received supportive remarks from SEC Chair Paul Atkins after the US Congress stalled the CLARITY Act, which aimed to set a comprehensive framework for digital asset regulation. Atkins stated that the SEC would use its current powers to offer regulatory certainty for both investors and technology entrepreneurs.
These developments encourage the expansion of decentralized finance protocols, exchanges, and tokenized assets on Solana, though the SEC’s ultimate actions will shape the regulatory environment for blockchain ventures.

Technically, Solana is aiming to establish strong support near $100. If the token remains above this psychological level, the risk of a deeper correction toward $90 diminishes. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 57, reflecting slightly bullish momentum but not a full breakout.
A potential bull flag—a chart formation that can precede upward price movements—appears on Solana’s daily chart, though mild selling pressure persists during this consolidation phase. A decisive close above $110 would reinforce the bullish pattern and open the way for a near-term target of $130.
Threshold Bullish Scenario Bearish Scenario $100 Support Reduces risk of decline toward $90 Below $100 increases downside risk $110 Resistance Breakout targets $130 Rejection may lead to retest of 200-day EMAIf the price faces rejection at $105 and falls below the 200-day exponential moving average, the bullish stance would weaken and increase the likelihood of a move back toward $90.
Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh reiterated that policymakers are not yet confident inflation is returning to the central bank’s 2% target at a satisfactory pace, contributing to initial price pressures across the crypto market, including $SOL.
