Solana Price Plummets Amid Weak Demand and Institutional Rebalancing

Solana's price has been under pressure in recent days due to poor institutional and retail demand. According to data from CoinGlass, Solana Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) have recorded three consecutive weekly outflows, indicating a lack of interest from institutions.

The retail market is also showing signs of sell-side dominance, with futures Open Interest down 3% in the last 24 hours and a funding rate drop to -0.0055%. This suggests that traders are willing to hold short positions, as evidenced by the long-to-short ratio of 0.9822.

The ongoing Middle East tensions continue to affect the broader cryptocurrency market's performance, with negotiations between the United States and Iran set to resume later this week. Traders remain cautious, resulting in stale price action for Solana and other leading cryptocurrencies.
