- Solana price fell to lows of $96 as cryptocurrencies crashed.
- Declines align with fresh outflows from digital asset investment products.
- SOL saw over $31 million in net outflows last week, the first in three weeks.
Solana (SOL) fell below $100 for the first time since April 2025 as a sharp sell-off pushed Bitcoin under $75,000.
As BTC dumped to its lowest level in nearly 10 months, Solana touched lows of $96.43.
This happened as crypto markets experienced extreme volatility.
Dips for all the top coins, including Ethereum and XRP, resulted in over $2.5 billion in liquidations in 24 hours.
Per data from Coinglass, more than $4 billion in long positions have been liquidated across the crypto market over the past 4 days.
Most of the bets wiped out were longs, with this coming amid Friday’s historic collapse in metals.
Gold dumped from above $5,500 and silver plunged 39%, losses that cascaded across the crypto sector.
The wipe-out is one of the largest liquidations in crypto, with the top of the ladder being the nearly $20 billion liquidated in October 2025.
SOL sees $31.7 million in investment outflows
The dramatic collapse in crypto prices coincided with a sharp surge in capital exit from digital asset investment products.
According to asset manager CoinShares, the digital asset market recorded a second straight week of outflows, with over $1.7 billion exiting amid the panic selling.
The outflows mean the sector has now reversed year-to-date inflows, pushing global year-to-date net flows to $1 billion.
CoinShares head of research James Butterfill said the redemptions signal “a marked deterioration in investor sentiment towards the asset class.”
“We believe this reflects a combination of factors, including the appointment of a more hawkish US Federal Reserve Chair, continued whale selling associated with the four-year cycle, and heightened geopolitical volatility,” Butterfill added.
Notably, Solana saw over $31.7 million in net outflows last week, the altcoin’s first weekly outflow in three weeks.
Solana price prediction: $100 remains the key level
Bears have established dominance in the first weeks of 2026, continuing the trend witnessed in the last quarter of 2025.
Macroeconomic conditions and geopolitical headwinds have contributed to this outlook, and analysts at QCP point to the ETF outflows and broader sentiment as likely negative catalysts for cryptocurrencies in the short term.
SOL could nosedive under $100 amid this trend. A retest of the $96-$80 area will embolden bears further.
However, a flip in sentiment portends a continuation above the psychological level.
Solana price was above $102 at the time of writing, slightly up as other coins eye a rebound.
If Bitcoin reclaims $82,000 and risk assets stabilise, SOL price could target the $120-$135 supply wall next.
