According to Santiment, Solana (SOL) rallied to $144 and is testing the $145 resistance, with any breakout largely dependent on a rebound in network growth (Source: Santiment on X, Jan 12, 2026). According to Santiment, new weekly wallets have dropped to 7.3M from 30.2M in Nov 2024, indicating softer on-chain user expansion that may cap upside until growth re-accelerates (Source: Santiment on X and Santiment analytics). According to Santiment, monitoring SOL network growth is key for assessing the probability of a sustained move above $145 in the near term (Source: Santiment on X, Jan 12, 2026).
