It’s January 26, 2026, and if you’ve been looking at the charts today, you know the vibe is a bit tense. With all the noise coming out of the US regarding tariffs and those government shutdown headlines, the "big money" seems to be sitting on its hands. But for those of us tracking Solana, the story is getting interesting.
The Price Reality
Right now, SOL($SOL ) is hovering around Rs 35,010 ($125.80). It’s not exactly a "moon mission" day, but what’s impressive is how it’s fighting to stay above that $120 support. I’ve noticed every time it dips near Rs 33,400, the buy orders start stacking up. On the flip side, we really need to clear $132 (Rs 36,750) to breathe a sigh of relief. Until that happens, we are basically in a "wait and see" zone.
Why the Fundamentals Still Matter
Price aside, Solana is doing a lot of the "un-sexy" work that makes a project survive. They just pushed the Agave v3.0.14 patch. For us users, that just means fewer failed transactions and a smoother experience when things get congested. Plus, seeing Firedancer actually running on the mainnet is a huge deal for anyone who cares about tech—it's finally giving Solana the backbone it needs to compete with traditional finance systems.
Where Does the Money Go?
Even with the market looking a bit red, the data doesn't lie: Solana saw over $1.3 billion in stablecoins flow in this week. That’s not "retail hype"; that’s liquidity moving into the ecosystem because it’s cheaper and faster to use than the alternatives. When the macro-fear settles down, this is the kind of fuel that starts a real rally.
My Take
Short term? It’s choppy. I wouldn’t be surprised to see more sideways movement while the world figures out the US economy. But looking at the $120 support holding firm, I’m not panicking. It feels like a consolidation phase before the next big move.
