Solana Price Consolidation: Bears Defend Key Resistance Near $78

Solana's price has been stuck in a descending channel, forming lower highs and lows as bears take control. The token is trading at $73.53 with a drop of 1.02%, while the trading volume decreased by 13.44%. Solana's technical structure remains cautious, but derivatives and on-chain data present a mixed picture.

Despite declining Open Interest, Solana's network activity has remained resilient, indicating that users continue to engage with the blockchain. This divergence suggests that while speculative participation may have cooled, underlying blockchain usage remains healthy.

The immediate resistance lies near $77.97, which aligns with the upper boundary of the descending channel. A decisive close above this level could invalidate the current bearish structure and open the door for a move toward the next resistance at $83.47.
