(SeaPRwire) –   Solana is maintaining around $88 after pulling back from a $95 high. The token is resting on a critical trend line support that traders are monitoring closely.

Trading volume has fallen to $3.3 billion, down from $6.5 billion on March 16 when SOL briefly reached $95. Bulls seem to be taking profits early during upward moves as overall market sentiment turns cautious.

The Crypto Fear and Greed Index dropped from 46 (Neutral) to 30 (Fear) after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said the economic impact of the Iran war remains “uncertain.” A potential surge in oil prices could push inflation higher, which might delay or cancel Fed rate cuts this year.

On-Chain Activity vs. Fees

Solana handled over 880 million transactions last week. That’s just slightly below its record of 959 million set in the week ending February 8.

Even with the high activity, weekly network fees were only $4.6 million. That’s 50% less than what Solana earned during its June–September 2025 rally, when weekly transaction counts were actually lower at 700–800 million.

Lower fees typically indicate a lower network valuation. Analysts see the current disconnect between transaction volume and fee revenue as a bearish sign for the medium term.

On the price chart, SOL has a strong resistance at $87. Breaking below that level could push the token to $77, an 11.5% drop. If it holds and a high-volume candle forms during the U.S. trading session, that could pave the way for a return to $100.

RWA Ecosystem Hits $1.82 Billion

Solana’s real-world asset ecosystem hit $1.82 billion in tokenized value on March 20. This covers tokenized debt, equities, and funds added to the blockchain.

RWA-supported DeFi protocols on Solana reached an all-time high of $465 million in total value locked. Although Solana remains behind Ethereum in overall RWA market size, it’s expanding its footprint in this area.

Crypto analyst Crypto Patel posted on X that the monthly chart shows a confirmed breakout, a successful retest, and stable support levels. Patel noted that Fibonacci retracement levels are aligned and described the $50–$80 range as a rare accumulation zone. Drawing on historical patterns, Patel suggested SOL could hit $500–$1,000 if past cycles repeat.

SOL is presently trading close to $88, with the $87 support level being the critical level to monitor in the short term.
