Solana Price Suffers Under Regulatory Scrutiny and Geopolitical Tensions

The Solana (SOL) cryptocurrency has seen a significant decline in its price, decreasing by 4.98% to $62.79. The asset is currently trading below its key moving averages, indicating high volatility in the market.

The ongoing regulatory scrutiny and geopolitical tensions are contributing to the downward trend. The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has labeled Solana as a potential unregistered security, creating uncertainty and limiting institutional participation. Additionally, the escalating US-Iran conflict and potential closure of the Strait of Hormuz have triggered capital outflows from high-risk digital assets like Solana.

A proprietary model predicts that the price will consolidate between $51.34 and $72.60 over coming sessions. The model assigns a 23% probability to a move higher and a 77% probability to further declines, indicating a high downside risk. The defense of the $51.34 support area is crucial for near-term stability.
