Solana slipped out of last weekās consolidation after failing to sustain upside momentum, delaying a recovery toward $150. SOL has since traded cautiously, awaiting stronger confirmation.Ā
Recent on-chain and institutional activity suggests investors are positioning for a rebound, potentially setting the stage for renewed price strength into year-end or early January.
Solanaās ecosystem is introducing a novel catalyst through on-chain āCreator ETFs,ā also known as Bands, launched via Bands.fun. These products differ from traditional exchange-traded products. They operate directly on the Solana blockchain as programmable portfolios curated by creators, analysts, or influencers.
Creator ETFs can bundle tokens or NFTs and rebalance automatically based on a predefined rule. Increased adoption could lift on-chain activity and transaction volume. Higher network usage often supports price recovery by strengthening demand for SOL as a utility asset.
Exchange balance data adds another constructive signal. Solana balances on centralized exchanges have dropped sharply over the past 10 days. During this period, investors accumulated roughly 2.65 million SOL, valued at $345 million.
Declining exchange balances typically indicate accumulation rather than distribution. Holders appear willing to move assets into self-custody, reducing immediate sell pressure. This behavior suggests confidence in Solanaās longer-term outlook and supports the case for stabilization following recent weakness.

Institutional sentiment toward Solana remains resilient despite broader market uncertainty. CoinSharesā weekly report shows SOL attracted $48.5 million in inflows for the week ending December 20. Month-to-date inflows now stand at $117.6 million.
These allocations indicate sustained institutional interest. Professional investors often accumulate during consolidation phases. Continued inflows can help offset retail selling and provide a foundation for recovery when market conditions improve.

Solana trades near $124 at the time of writing, sitting below the $126 resistance. The combination of on-chain innovation, exchange outflows, and institutional inflows could support a recovery attempt by late December or early January.
A break above $126 would be an initial confirmation. Reclaiming $130 would further strengthen sentiment. The key upside target sits near $136. Clearing this level would signal progress toward recouping losses recorded earlier this month.

Downside risks persist if selling resumes or broader markets weaken. Solanaās price dropping below $123 could expose the $118 support. Losing that level would invalidate the bullish thesis and delay any recovery driven by ecosystem or institutional catalysts.
