|- Solana price hovers around $134 on Monday after dipping to a two-month low the previous day.
- Geopolitical jitters rise as a US strike on Iran sparks a wave of risk-off sentiment across crypto markets.
- The technical outlook turns bearish; a daily close below $130 would confirm a correction toward the $118 support level.
Solana (SOL) recovers slightly, trading at around $134 at the time of writing on Monday after dipping to a two-month low of $126 the previous day. This price correction was triggered by the rising jitters as the US struck Iran over the weekend, sparking risk aversion in the crypto markets. The technical outlook turns bearish, and a daily close below $130 would confirm a correction toward the $118 mark.
Solana price dips as investor caution rises amid Trump’s strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities
Solana price dipped nearly 14% last week, reaching levels not seen since mid-April. The rising tension in the Middle East primarily triggered this correction. The war between Iran and Israel has been ongoing for more than a week and took a new turn late Saturday as the news came in that the US attacked Iran’s three nuclear sites.
The US strike on Iran has caused global risk sentiment to remain fragile, with Bitcoin reaching a low of $98,200 on Sunday, followed by Solana hitting a low of $126.
Iran's response to the US attack could be another event of concern this week, which raises the risk of spillover and a broader conflict in the Middle East and could trigger deeper losses in risky assets such as Solana.
