2026 has been a difficult period for the cryptocurrency market: since the start of the year, each of the five largest crypto assets by market capitalisation has posted double-digit losses. Among this group, Solana ($SOL) has suffered the most, losing more than 47% of its value since January 1. To understand where the market may head next, we asked several leading modern artificial intelligence (AI) models to forecast the year-end prices of $BTC, $ETH, $BNB, $XRP and $SOL. Their answers were, to put it mildly, intriguing.

Cryptocurrency

Solana ($SOL) has hit its lowest level in 2.5 years, erasing the gains it made last year during the memecoin frenzy and the trend of public companies accumulating crypto reserves. On 5 June, the price of $SOL fell below $64 for the first time since December 2023.

Trading

Solana ($SOL) continues to face growing pressure as sellers maintain control of the market following a sharp decline from recent highs. The cryptocurrency is now trading near $68.5 after losing several important support levels that had previously helped stabilise price action. Market participants remain cautious, as weakening sentiment, declining capital flows and a fragile technical structure point to continued downside risks.

Cryptocurrency

Solana has completed eight consecutive months of negative performance for the first time in its history. As of June 1, 2026, SOL was trading around $81 despite on-chain metrics remaining at levels that would have been considered highly bullish just a year ago.

This year, capital has been leaving the crypto market, but some funds are flowing from one altcoin to another. Arthur Hayes believes Solana’s weak performance is linked to liquidity moving into Hyperliquid.

On Tuesday, May 26, inflow dynamics across cryptocurrency ETFs were mixed: Bitcoin and Ether ETFs collectively lost $368.75 million as both categories continued their outflow streaks. Altcoin products softened the picture: $HYPE ETFs attracted $20.45 million, while $XRP ETFs brought in $1.55 million, whereas Solana ETFs recorded no trading activity.

The upcoming summer is expected to be “boring” for Bitcoin: no major crash, but rather a period of accumulation ahead of a renewed bullish trend later on. This forecast was presented by Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart.

Forward Industries, which describes itself as the world’s largest corporate holder of Solana, reported a net loss of $585.6 million in its first-quarter earnings report. At present, the company’s unrealized losses have nearly reached $1 billion.

U.S.-based DeFi Development Corp. (DFDV) released its first-quarter report, showing that the amount of Solana held per share increased by 108% year-over-year to 0.067 SOL. As of May 13, the company held 2,294,576 SOL worth approximately $325 million. To accumulate assets, DFDV utilizes staking, proprietary validators, and allocates 25% of its reserves into DeFi protocols.

Trading

Solana is trading at $95.26 on May 13 after breaking above the 0.382 Fibonacci level, which had acted as resistance for three months, amid accelerating ETF inflows and the first bullish daily MACD crossover since January.

Cryptocurrency

Interest in Solana has strengthened again. Spot ETFs tied to $SOL recorded their largest weekly capital inflows since February, while futures open interest increased by nearly $1.5 billion in less than two weeks.

Cryptocurrency

Bitcoin and altcoins continue to feel the impact of recent events and statements between the United States and Iran. Bitcoin recently surpassed the $80,000 level for the first time since January, and May forecasts from the analytics platform Polymarket were also published.

Cryptocurrency

Solana is trading at $85.64 on May 4, up 2%, while the monthly Polymarket pricing shows a 70% probability of closing at $90 in May, and on-chain data shows $381 million in ecosystem inflows over the past three months, with 69% coming from Ethereum.

Cryptocurrency

On Tuesday, crypto ETFs posted strong gains, with significant inflows observed across all major assets. Bitcoin led the rally, while Ether, $XRP, and Solana also advanced during a rare session where all indicators were in the green.

Cryptocurrency

Over the past 24 hours, Solana has gained 1.14% to $83.49. However, the altcoin may decline again as it failed to reclaim the key SMA level, a drop below which has historically led to significant price declines.

Cryptocurrency

The price of Solana ($SOL) reached $79.30 as of April 3. Over the past 24 hours, it increased by 0.6%. This occurred after the asset’s spot ETF recorded its first positive net inflow in six trading days.
