Solana Price Prediction: Institutions Are Buying While Others Sell – What Do They Know that You Don’t?

While retail investors stick to the sidelines, institutions continue to bet on bullish Solana price predictions with heavy ETF accumulation.

TradFi markets can’t get enough of the altcoin.

SOL-based ETFs have outperformed all other crypto products, attracting $500 million in almost a month of uninterrupted inflows.

The introduction of four new ETF offerings this week has only amplified demand, with inflows doubling to over $117 million this week after tapering off last week.

Retail tells a different story, though. Speculative demand has cratered, with Open Interest down 30% since the start of the month at 7.25 billion as traders disengage with price movements.

Retail traders appear unwilling to bet on Solana under the current market FUD, but institutional holders remain committed to their bags, signalling genuine long-term positioning.

Smart money typically moves strategically, and the choice to accumulate now could show that this bull market’s peak may not have been realized just yet.

Solana Price Predictions: What do Institutions Know?

Institutions are positioning as the Solana price approaches the apex of a descending triangle pattern formed along a proven launchpad level at $120.

The $120 demand zone has marked bottoms since early 2024, and momentum indicators point to a potential local bottom.

The RSI nears the oversold threshold around 35, a level that has historically marked local bottoms on the weekly timeframe, though the MACD has yet to reflect it with a wide lead

The MACD is yet to reflect a bullish shift, though. It continues to widen its gap below the signal line as buy pressure prevails.

With a bounce from $120, the key breakout threshold to watch is a past resistance zone around $205.

With this level flipped to support, a fully realised triangle breakout sets a potential $500 target for a 290% gain, though this likely hinges on retail participation.

And as the bull market matures, with ETF inflows showing sticky, long-term accumulation and inclusion on mainstream balance sheets, the Solana price could push 590% to $1,000.

Maxi Doge: The Next Big Breakout Play?

Every bull run eventually delivers its own parabolic Doge-themed runner. Shiba Inu carried the torch from Dogecoin in 2021, then Floki, Bonk, Dogwifhat, and most recently, Neiro in 2024.

For 2025, that dynamic could now be playing out with Maxi Doge ($MAXI), an early Doge-themed token gaining traction as narratives like Dogecoin ETFs and the DOGE-1 lunar mission drive attention.

The hype is already showing in the numbers. The $MAXI presale has raised almost $4.2 million, while early backers are earning up to 74% APY through staking rewards.

For those who missed the Doge wave before, Maxi Doge could be the next chance to catch a meme coin breakout before it takes off.
