What price will Solana hit in July?
17 markets · 5d
Solana price markets are overwhelmingly bearish for July, with every threshold above $60 trading at 96%+ odds of 'No', but the 72% 'No' on the $70 downside suggests a non-trivial chance of a drop below that level, making the event hinge on whether macro or network-specific catalysts push SOL below $70.
📊 Base rate: In the past five Julys, Solana has posted a median monthly return of -8%, with only one positive month (2023, +12%), giving a historical prior of roughly 20% for an up month.
What's driving it
- • No clear catalyst recently; the uniform 'No' dominance above $60 likely reflects persistent bearish sentiment from the broader crypto sell-off in June (Reuters, Jun 28).
- • The 72% 'No' on the $70 downside market implies a 28% chance of a drop below $70, suggesting traders see a non-trivial risk of a breakdown due to low liquidity or negative headlines.
- • The 100% 'No' on $140 and $160 indicates extreme skepticism about any rally to those levels, likely anchored by Solana's failure to reclaim its 2021 highs amid regulatory uncertainty.
The bullish case
- • A surprise positive catalyst, such as a favorable SEC ruling on Solana's security status, could trigger a short squeeze and push prices above $60.
- • If Bitcoin rallies above $35,000, Solana often follows with outsized moves due to its high beta, potentially breaching $70.
- • The 28% implied probability on the $70 downside market shows the market is not fully pricing out a recovery, leaving room for a contrarian upswing if macro conditions improve.
The bearish case
- • The 96-100% 'No' odds on all upside thresholds above $60 reflect a consensus that Solana lacks near-term catalysts for a rally, with on-chain activity declining (CoinDesk, Jul 10).
- • Persistent selling pressure from FTX estate liquidations of SOL tokens (Bloomberg, Jul 12) caps any upside and reinforces the bearish outlook.
- • Technical resistance at $60 has held since May, and without a breakout, the path of least resistance is lower, supporting the 72% 'No' on $70 downside.
What to watch
- • Federal Reserve interest rate decision on July 26: a hawkish hold could strengthen the dollar and further depress crypto prices, pushing SOL below $70 (likely direction: down).
- • Solana network upgrade v1.17 scheduled for July 28: if it fixes congestion issues and boosts throughput, it could spark a relief rally above $60 (likely direction: up).
- • Monthly close on July 31: if SOL closes below $60, it would confirm a bearish monthly candle, increasing odds of a drop to $50 (likely direction: down).
