The post Solana Tests Buyers’ Patience at $100: Will SOL Price Break Down? appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News The crypto market has been under heavy selling pressure over the past few days, with Bitcoin sliding toward the $75,000 level. Market sentiment has worsened sharply, as the Crypto Fear & Greed Index fell deeper into “extreme fear,” dropping to 14.

Traders are closely watching to see whether SOL could break below this level next.
