- Solana (SOL) has experienced a significant price decline despite recent Federal Reserve interest rate cuts.
- The cryptocurrency dropped nearly 6% in 24 hours and over 20% in the past month according to CoinGecko.
- Market-wide corrections, exceeding $500 million in liquidations, impacted Solana and other cryptos, as reported by CoinGlass.
- Economic concerns and slow growth contribute to investor risk aversion, limiting expectations for further rate cuts.
- Despite recent declines, Solana has a history of recovery following earlier market lows.
Solana (SOL) is currently facing a sharp price decline, with its value dropping nearly 6% in the last 24 hours and over 20% during the past month. This decrease occurs despite a recent 25-basis-point interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve. According to CoinGecko, SOL’s weekly and biweekly charts also show declines of 9.1% and 8.2% respectively.
The dip in Solana’s price is part of a broader market correction affecting many cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin (BTC) briefly fell to around $89,000 earlier today, and more than $500 million worth of liquidations were recorded in the crypto market over the past 24 hours, based on data from CoinGlass.
Market participants attribute the correction to ongoing macroeconomic uncertainties. Recent jobs data could be encouraging investors to adopt more cautious strategies, reducing their exposure to riskier assets such as Solana and other cryptocurrencies. Additionally, the likelihood of further Federal Reserve rate cuts appears low due to slow economic growth and mixed employment figures.
Solana’s price troubles come after a strong performance earlier in 2024, where the token reached a peak of $293 in January. Despite the current downturn, SOL has previously demonstrated resilience. The cryptocurrency dropped below $9 in 2022 following the collapse of FTX but later achieved multiple all-time highs. The recent declines add to broader market concerns but do not necessarily reflect a permanent trend.
