Solana Seeks Breakout at $83 as Cathie Wood Increases Stake
Cathie Wood's ARK Invest has increased its bet on Solana by buying 7,115 shares of the 3iQ Solana Staking ETF. The purchase came as demand for Solana exchange-traded funds weakened, with no new inflows since Aug. 12.
The token is testing $76 resistance, and a chart setup points toward an $83 breakout if it closes above that level. Analyst Muthoni Mary identified a cup-and-handle pattern on the daily chart, which could open an 8.9% advance toward $83.
Solana's DeFi TVL has fallen to $4.85 billion, and stablecoin value and network liquidity have declined. The broader decline in total DeFi TVL across blockchains dropped from $114 billion to $75 billion.
