Solana (SOL) Freefall—Can It Hold Above The $100 Danger Zone?

Solana started a fresh decline below the $112 support zone. SOL price is now consolidating and might struggle to stay above the $100 support zone.
- SOL price started a fresh decline below $112 support zone against the US Dollar.
- The price is now trading below $105 and the 100-hourly simple moving average.
- There was a break below a key contracting triangle with support at $118 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair (data source from Kraken).
- The pair could accelerate lower if there is a break below the $100 support zone.
Solana Price Dips Over 15%
Solana price started a fresh decline below the $122 and $115 levels, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. SOL even declined below the $112 support level to enter a bearish zone.
There was a break below a key contracting triangle with support at $118 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair. The price declined over 15% and traded close to the $102 level. A low was formed at $102 and the price recently started a consolidation phase.
The current price action is still very bearish below 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $121 swing high to the $102 low. Solana is now trading below $105 and the 100-hourly simple moving average.
On the upside, the price is facing resistance near the $105 level. The next major resistance is near the $112 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $121 swing high to the $102 low. The main resistance could be $116.
A successful close above the $116 resistance zone could set the pace for another steady increase. The next key resistance is $120. Any more gains might send the price toward the $125 level.
Another Decline in SOL?
If SOL fails to rise above the $105 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $102 zone. The first major support is near the $100 level.
A break below the $100 level might send the price toward the $92 zone. If there is a close below the $92 support, the price could decline toward the $84 support in the near term.

XRP and Bitcoin Briefly Rallies After Rumors of 90-Day Tariff Pause

The brief rumor of a 90-day pause from Trump’s tariffs caused the markets to rally significantly. However, the White House squashed these rumors, fueling further crashes.
This highlights a genuine desperation in the markets as traders try to regain some bullish momentum and prevent a recession.
Trump Tariff Fakeout
The threat of Trump’s tariffs is closer than ever, and it’s causing a “Black Monday” event in the crypto markets. Bitcoin dipped below $80,000, and over $1 billion was liquidated from crypto.
However, one of the President’s advisors, Kevin Hassett, suggested this morning that he might be having second thoughts:
“Would Trump consider a 90-day pause in tariffs?’ ‘I think the president is gonna decide what the president is gonna decide … even if you think there will be some negative effect from the trade side, that’s still a small share of GDP,’” Hassett said in an interview.
This news quickly began recirculating, claiming that Trump was seriously considering a 90-day pause in tariffs. This created a huge rally in traditional markets, with the S&P 500 shooting up 6% in seconds. This rally turned on a dime to a certain extent, falling again quickly.

Following the rumor, XRP rallied nearly 10% to hit $2, while Bitcoin rebounded back to $80,000. Both assets have declined again due to the lack of credibility of the news. Overall, the volatility has been extremely chaotic in the crypto market today.

In his interview, Hassett did not make any firm commitments that Trump is considering pausing tariffs. His response focused mostly on ongoing negotiations and assertions that the tariffs would have a limited impact.
Shortly afterward, the White House officially denied any knowledge of a 90-day pause. They are still set to begin in two days.

Binance Founder CZ Joins Pakistan Crypto Council as Advisor

Changpeng ‘CZ’ Zhao, the founder of Binance, has reportedly taken on a new role as Strategic Advisor to the Pakistan Crypto Council.
Pakistan’s local media suggests that the appointment was confirmed during a meeting held in Islamabad with top government officials.
CZ Joins Pakistan Crypto Council
The Finance Minister, Senator Muhammad Aurangzeb, reportedly led the session. Other attendees included the heads of Pakistan’s key financial and regulatory bodies—the Securities and Exchange Commission and the State Bank—and senior officials from the law and IT ministries.
According to the reports, Zhao also met separately with Pakistan’s Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister to discuss digital asset policy and blockchain adoption.
His involvement with Pakistan follows a recent agreement with the Kyrgyz Republic. There, he is advising on Web3 infrastructure and blockchain education.
Kyrgyzstan has also launched the A7A5 stablecoin, pegged to the Russian ruble. Both Kyrgyzstan and Pakistan are looking to develop their financial ecosystem around crypto to attract industry interest in the regions.
Meanwhile, CZ continues to engage with multiple governments on crypto regulation. He has been focused on building secure frameworks and enabling digital finance ecosystems.
BeInCrypto has contacted Binance about the reports and whether the company is involved in the initiative.

Ethereum (ETH) Tanks to March 2023 Levels as ETH/BTC Ratio Plummets to 5-Year Low

The value of the leading altcoin, Ethereum, has plunged to its lowest point since March 2023, signaling a steep decline in market confidence. This has happened amid the broader market’s downturn, which was exacerbated by Donald Trump’s Liberation Day.
Compounding the bearish sentiment, the ETH/BTC ratio has now dropped to a five-year low, indicating that Bitcoin is gaining relative strength against Ethereum.
ETH/BTC Ratio Hits 5-Year Low as Traders Flee
ETH’s price decline has pushed the ETH/BTC ratio to a five-year low of 0.019. This ratio measures ETH’s relative value compared to BTC. When it rises, it indicates that ETH is outperforming BTC, either because the altcoin’s price is growing faster or the king coin’s price is falling.

Conversely, a decline like this suggests that the leading coin, BTC, is gaining strength relative to the top altcoin, ETH. It suggests that traders are moving capital into BTC, seeing it as a safer or more profitable investment at the moment despite its own price troubles.
Further, on the daily chart, ETH’s negative Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) confirms the coin’s plummeting demand. At press time, it is at -0.07.

The CMF indicator measures the volume-weighted accumulation and distribution of an asset over a set period, helping gauge buying and selling pressure. When its value falls below zero like this, it indicates that selling pressure is dominating.
ETH’s CMF readings suggest that more traders are distributing (selling) the coin than accumulating it. This reflects weakening demand and is a bearish signal for the asset’s price momentum.
ETH Flashes Oversold Signal: Is a Bounce Back on the Horizon?
ETH’s Relative Strength Index (RSI), observed on a one-day chart, shows that the altcoin is currently oversold. At press time, the momentum indicator is in a downtrend at 25.62.
The RSI indicator measures an asset’s overbought and oversold market conditions. It ranges between 0 and 100. Values above 70 suggest that the asset is overbought and due for a price decline, while values under 30 indicate that the asset is oversold and may witness a rebound.
At 25.62, ETH’s RSI signals that the coin is deeply oversold. This presents a buying opportunity, as such lows are usually followed by a price rebound.
If this happens, ETH’s price could regain and climb back above $1,589. If this support level strengthens, it could propel ETH’s value to $1,904.

However, this rebound is not guaranteed. If ETH bears maintain dominance and selloffs continue, the coin could extend its decline and fall toward $1,197.
