Solana Pulls Back Toward Key Support Levels Following Fed Decision and Failed Legislative Vote

Solana traded near $97 as broader macro pressures and fading ETF inflows put short-term support levels in focus ahead of its scheduled network upgrade.

Solana dropped to trade near $97 on September 16 following a 5.45% decline in the prior session, which saw the token close at $96.93. The move leaves the asset hovering near its 20-day exponential moving average of $97.70. The pullback occurred alongside macroeconomic headwinds, as the Federal Reserve raised interest rates by 25 basis points to a target range of 3.75% to 4.00%, while a legislative vote on the CLARITY Act failed to advance.

Despite the recent dip, Solana remains up roughly 29% over the past month, though it stands about 67% below its January 19, 2025 all-time high of $293. The asset's current technical structure is framed by immediate support levels at $94.40, $90.37, and $85.79, alongside overhead resistance points at $100, $105, $110, and $118.84. Meanwhile, Solana's decentralized finance ecosystem maintains approximately $5.5 billion in total value locked.

Institutional demand through investment vehicles has shown signs of deceleration, with Solana ETF inflows dropping from $153.87 million to $6.18 million over a one-week period. This decline in fresh capital followed a retreat from the August 27 peak of $110.65. Network participants are also looking ahead to technical developments, with the activation of Solana’s Alpenglow upgrade scheduled to begin on September 28.
