This upcoming unlock is sparking discussions among investors, as many fear it could lead to increased selling pressure. With Solana currently ranking as the sixth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, any sudden rise in available tokens could impact its price movement. SOL Price Holds Strong at Key Support After FTX unstaked a large amount of Solana (SOL), many investors started selling in fear. However, the price of SOL is still holding steady around $116 , showing a 1% increase, with a total market value of $60 billion. Looking at the charts, Solana has been moving in a downward trend since March 2025. But there is a strong support level at $110, which could help the price bounce back. If buyers step in, SOL could first rise to $127 this week. If it stays strong, it might even reach $145 soon. On the other hand, if selling pressure increases, SOL could drop back to $110.
