Meanwhile, the Solana-focused Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) mark their sixth consecutive week of inflows, indicating a steady interest from institutional investors.

This should remind investors that bottoms are processes, not single events. The dip last Monday found buyers, as did the weekend’s losses, and a close back above last week’s high would reinforce the view that a low has formed for the time being.”
