Solana Crashes Below $100: Could $73 Be the Next Key Support?

Solana (SOL) slipped to $85.73 on Friday, February 6, 2026, marking a 26.49% decline over the past week, according to CoinMarketCap data. Trading volume surged 49.13% to $13.34 billion, reflecting elevated market activity.

The cryptocurrency broke decisively below its January 2024 consolidation range of $128–$150, signaling a structural shift in market dynamics and sustained selling pressure.

SOL Price Drops Below $100 POC

In X post, Crypto analyst Umair Crypto highlighted that SOL’s drop below the $100 Point of Control (POC) triggered an approximate 27% sell-off, followed by a minor bounce to the $73–$67 support zone.

“Price is pulling back while volume expands, indicating downside conviction rather than a rapid V-shaped recovery,” Umair Crypto noted. Analysts caution that SOL is unlikely to return to previous highs without first establishing a stable support structure, making short-term rallies potentially corrective rather than trend-reversing.

From a technical perspective, SOL is trading well below key moving averages, which are sloping downward across short-, medium-, and long-term timeframes.

The breakdown on rising volume points to strong institutional involvement, suggesting that recent declines are largely driven by large-scale selling rather than retail activity.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has dipped below 30, entering deep oversold territory. While oversold conditions can occasionally trigger short-term relief rallies, the prevailing downward momentum suggests bounces will likely be corrective.

Analysts note that volatility is likely to remain elevated until SOL finds acceptance in new high-volume areas near $73 and $57.

Solana Expands Real-World Asset Ecosystem

Amid bearish price action, Solana is advancing its real-world asset (RWA) ecosystem. According to the press release, Multiliquid and Metalayer Ventures launched an instant redemption facility for tokenized assets, allowing holders to convert positions into stablecoins around the clock. 

The initiative addresses a longstanding liquidity bottleneck in institutional markets, enabling predictable exits from private credit, equity, and real estate tokens.

The facility, operated with support from Uniform Labs and the Multiliquid protocol, dynamically prices redemptions below net asset value to prioritize speed while compensating liquidity providers. 

Solana’s RWA market has surpassed $1 billion, including assets from issuers such as VanEck, Janus Henderson, and Fasanara. Nick Ducoff, Head of Institutional Growth at the Solana Foundation, said: “Reliable redemption capacity is critical infrastructure for the tokenized asset ecosystem and positions Solana as a premier hub for issuance, trading, and exit solutions.”
