Traders have blamed the current market uncertainty for the price stagnation. Markets are weighing conflicting economic data and ongoing central bank talks about how to reduce stubbornly high inflation without plunging the country into a deep recession.
Craig Erlham, senior market analyst at OANDA commented that “The ETF filings provide more reason for optimism, but there’s no guarantee they’ll result in a positive outcome, even if the odds are improved by the support of those involved.” “It could also be a lengthy process, which could explain the stall we’ve seen in recent weeks,” Solana’s SOL gained 12% this week and gained 8% on Friday alone. The reason for the increase is unknown, but some analysts believe the token will continue to rise.
According to Sean Farrell, head of digital asset research at data firm FundStrat, “it’s possible that conditions became super oversold in the aftermath of the Robinhood forced selling and now we are regressing back to prior support levels.”
