Solana has endured a rough two years of price action after bleeding-out -90% since the previous all-time high (ATH) in November 2021, but as SOL's 2023 recovery rally heads south, could all be over for the major layer-1 blockchain? Find out in this Solana price analysis.
Amid a broader resurgence in crypto markets triggered in January, Solana pumped an impressive +147%, driven in part by the Solana integration with Neon EVM.
Yet a rejection at $32.00 on July 14th has triggered the first major retracement for SOL in 2023 - leaving investors in fear over tumbling price action.
