Solana Price Falls as Grayscale’s SOL ETF Flows Diverge

CoinGecko’s other time frames showed mixed returns. Solana price fell 11.7% over seven days and 11.1% over 14 days. However, the token remained 6.7% higher over 30 days.

Notably, the 20-day GSOL accumulation included one outflow day. VanEck’s VSOL, meanwhile, sold $700,000 worth of SOL on October 12, when GSOL did not sell.

Across SOL ETFs, combined net outflows reached $24.81 million during the week of October 5–9 per SosoValue.

Grayscale’s displayed portfolio included assets beyond SOL. Its Bitcoin holdings totaled 192,278 BTC, valued at $16.07 billion, or about 92% of the shown portfolio. The display listed 304,693 ETH worth $770.36 million and 382,025 ZEC worth $462.25 million.

Other visible positions included Chainlink, Avalanche, and Pyth Network. The stated Ethereum and Zcash values combine to $1.23261 billion. The remaining displayed holdings represented about 8% of the portfolio, given Bitcoin’s roughly 92% share.

Solana Tops Weekly Tokenized-Equity Spot DEX Data

Solana’s lead over Robinhood measured $123.3 million. Its volume exceeded BNB Chain by $163.0 million and Base by $340.8 million. Combined weekly volume across the listed networks reached $2.54 billion, with Solana accounting for about 31%.

The four largest entries sum to $2.5181 billion, or roughly 99% of the chart’s $2.54 billion total. The October 5–11 result ended Solana’s 13-week stretch without the top spot. The same chart showed $12.0 million in Ethereum volume and $7.9 million for HyperCore.

Analyst Compares Current Solana Price With Previous Setup

Elsewhere, on the commentary end, analyst 0xSweep described a bullish divergence on SOL’s four-hour chart and compared it with an earlier pattern near $96. That setup preceded a move toward $124, a rise of roughly 29%, rounded to 30% in the comparison.

The current chart shows SOL making a lower low while its relative strength index forms a higher low. That pattern can signal weakening selling pressure. The displayed RSI stood at 38.28, or 11.72 points below 50 and 3.44 points below its 41.72 average.

The chart identifies $112 as the first area SOL would need to reclaim. Resistance appears around $120 to $124. From $106.30, the $112 level is $5.70 higher, while that resistance band sits $13.70 to $17.70 above.

Reaching $112 from $106.30 requires a 5.36% increase; $120 requires 12.89%, and $124 requires 16.65%. A 30% rise from the cited $106.30 price would place SOL at $138.19, a $31.89 increase.
