In May, open interest in Solana (SOL) futures contracts fell sharply by 30%, from $2.75 billion to $1.90 billion, reflecting reduced leveraged trading amid increased market caution. Despite this, SOL spot ETF inflows hit a 2026 high of $113 million, showing continued accumulation by spot market investors. SOL price is currently around $80, testing the lower boundary of a three-month consolidation range between $80 and $95. A break below $80 could trigger a drop toward the annual low near $68, where over $800 million in leveraged long positions face liquidation risk. The recent US-Iran geopolitical conflict added volatility, pushing SOL down to this critical support level. Technical indicators suggest bearish momentum persists, but spot market resilience indicates less speculative panic and more cautious positioning overall.
