Solana-focused ETFs recorded $153.87 million in net inflows last week, extending net buying to nine consecutive days. SOL traded around $101.59 after a roughly 3% session decline, putting the $100 psychological support level under scrutiny. US spot Solana ETFs also drew $60.91 million on Aug. 27, their best daily result of the year to date, while August inflows topped $134 million before month-end. Validators voted to double Solana's disinflation rate to 30% and establish a new governance framework, while a usage-based fee proposal that could have produced almost 9,000 daily SOL burns failed.
Why it matters
The nine-day streak is the constructive side of the setup. Fresh capital is entering SOL-focused products as spot momentum cools, making the institutional demand signal broader than a single session.
The governance vote adds a supply-side variable. The 30% disinflation rate is in place, but the failed fee proposal leaves out the proposed burn mechanism. ETF buying supports demand, yet it cannot guarantee that SOL holds a chart level if broader selling pressure returns.
Market impact
Near-term momentum is less forceful than the flow data. Daily RSI has eased to 67 from overbought territory, and MACD is edging lower toward its signal line. SOL remains above its 50-day EMA at $85.05, 100-day EMA at $82.77, and 200-day EMA at $89.71, keeping the broader structure constructive despite the pullback.
Holding $100 and the February 1 low at $98.02 would keep the setup intact, with $116.88, the December 18 low, as the next major barrier. A break below $98.02 would shift attention to the 200-day EMA and then the 50-day EMA. A sustained move above $116.88 would clear that hurdle and strengthen the demand narrative.
