(SeaPRwire) –   Solana (SOL) is nearing a key technical level that is under close watch by traders. The asset is priced at $85.27, up more than 2% on the day, and is gradually moving toward the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $87.10. A confirmed daily close above this threshold will be viewed as a bullish signal. For now, momentum indicators point to a neutral market outlook.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is hovering close to the 50 midpoint. The MACD remains in positive territory but is slowing, indicating a tentative recovery rather than a sharp breakout. The price is still trading within a parallel channel, with dynamic resistance near the upper boundary at $92.11.

Once the 50-day EMA is broken, the next key levels to monitor are $92.11, followed by the 100-day EMA at $97.06 and the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level at $98.53. Further resistance sits at the 50% retracement mark of roughly $108.12 and a cluster of levels between $117 and $120.

On the derivatives front, SOL’s funding rate turned positive on Monday and stood at 0.0068% on Tuesday. This means long position holders are paying fees to short sellers, which reflects a slight bullish bias in the futures market.

ETF Inflows Continue

Institutional demand for SOL has remained steady. US-listed spot Solana ETFs recorded $3.28 million in inflows on Monday, after bringing in $35.17 million in total inflows the previous week. Per SoSoValue data, this is the fifth straight day of positive net flows.

Analysts state that if institutional inflows keep growing, they could add further buying pressure and support an upward price movement. This consistent streak of inflows demonstrates sustained interest from large market participants.

Lily Liu, President of the Solana Foundation, spoke at the Solana Policy Institute’s Washington x Wall Street Summit. She noted that Solana’s architecture is built around unified liquidity, which she described as the most critical factor in finance. Liu argued that the internet connects nearly 5.5 billion people globally, and Solana is designed to support the largest possible marketplace on a single network.

dApp Revenue and On-Chain Activity

For the fifth week in a row, Solana has generated more decentralized application revenue than any other blockchain. Over the past seven days, Solana registered $16.94 million in dApp revenue, up from $15.32 million the week prior, according to DeFiLlama data.

Hyperliquid L1 ranked second with $14.18 million in dApp revenue, while Ethereum came in third at $13.55 million. Further down the list, Polygon posted $7.58 million, Base $4.28 million, BNB Chain $4.15 million, Arbitrum $1.62 million, and TON $1.37 million.

Per the Blockworks Advisory Q1 Token Holder Report, Solana apps generated $292 million in total revenue in Q1 2026. The top revenue generator was Pumpfun at $123 million, followed by Axiom at $58 million, Phantom at $33 million, and Jupiter at $14 million.

Solana DEX spot volumes hit $284.5 billion in Q1 2026, earning it a 41% market share – higher than the combined share of Ethereum and its Layer 2 networks. The share of volume from Prop AMMs, spot exchanges with actively managed liquidity, reached a new all-time high of 62% in Q1 2026, up from 27% one year earlier.

Solana’s low transaction fees remain a structural advantage, supporting high-frequency trading and small transactions that are not cost-effective on networks with higher fees.
