Solana Price Struggles Below $200 Despite Network’s Strong Trading Volume Lead

SOL price risks a 15% correction, but key technical and on-chain metrics signal upside potential

  • SOL price declined 22.5% between January 6-13, reaching $169.
  • Network activity on Solana decreased by 10.3% from January 8-15.
  • Major DApps like Raydium saw a 23.3% activity reduction.
  • Smaller protocols Lifinity and Stabble showed growth above 27%.
  • Price recovery of 15% failed to push SOL above $200 resistance.

Solana Price Correction Amid Network Activity Slowdown

Solana‘s SOL token experienced a significant price correction in mid-January 2024, dropping to $169 before attempting a recovery. The decline coincided with reduced activity across the network’s decentralized applications, raising questions about the sustainability of its recent price rally.

DApp Activity Shows Mixed Results

According to DefiLlama data, the Solana ecosystem witnessed varying performance across different protocols. Raydium, one of the network’s largest decentralized exchanges, recorded a 23.3% decrease in activity. Meanwhile, Orca saw a modest 2% decline. In contrast, smaller protocols demonstrated growth, with Lifinity and Stabble increasing their activity by 27.7% and 29.7%, respectively.

Market Impact and Technical Analysis

The recent price movement represents SOL’s first test of the $169 support level since November 2023. The 15% bounce from this level suggests strong buyer interest, though resistance at $200 remains a significant psychological barrier. The token’s price action reflects broader market dynamics where decreased DApp activity often correlates with price corrections.

Despite the temporary setback in network metrics, Solana maintains its position as a leading blockchain platform for decentralized applications, measured by total value locked (TVL) and transaction volume. This market position provides a foundation for potential price recovery as network activity stabilizes.
