Solana is flashing mixed signals as price tightens beneath key resistance while early signs of momentum weakness begin to emerge. A clean breakout above $95 could ignite a swift move toward the $100–$105 zone, but fading RSI suggests underlying strength may be weakening.  Pressure Builds As Solana Holds Firm Below Resistance Solana is tightening just beneath a resistance zone, and the pressure is becoming harder to ignore with each passing move. According to crypto analyst Marcus Corvinus, repeated rejections around the $92–$95 range have not triggered any meaningful breakdown so far.

Here’s a look at how the US midterm elections could impact the Bitcoin price performance…

The Algorand Foundation on Wednesday joined the ranks of crypto firms slashing headcount, losing 25% of its fewer than 200 employees and citing “the uncertain global macro environment” and a broader crypto downturn.The cuts arrived as a wave of layoffs proliferates across the industry. In February, Gemini Space Station (GEMI) said it would eliminate roughly 200 positions, about a quarter of its staff, a figure that had grown to 30% by mid-March. On Thursday, Crypto.com said it is trimming 12%, about 180 roles. That’s on top of 20 employees who got the chop at OP Labs, the company building layer-2…

Crypto analyst X Finance Bull has laid out a detailed theory explaining why XRP’s large token supply, often criticized as a weakness, could actually serve as a powerful mechanism for institutional adoption.
