Solana’s (SOL) price is observing support from the institutions to observe considerable gains this month.
As the retail investors also join in, the question remains whether SOL can return to $200 before June.
Solana Is Regaining Institutions’ FavorInstitutional investors’ actions have always impacted Solana’s price throughout 2022 and 2023. The same bullishness is reviving, with SOL noting $11.1 million in inflows this month.
This surge has made Solana the second best-performing altcoin in institutions’ portfolios after Chainlink, in line with Litecoin’s year-to-date performance.
For the week ending May 17, SOL recorded about $5 million worth of inflows, as the CPI report induced optimism in the crypto market. Since these large wallet holders are known to influence an asset’s price action, it would not be surprising to see Solana react positively in the coming days.

It is an important measure of market activity and liquidity, indicating money flow into or out of the market.
This Open Interest rose by $800 million in the past week from $1.77 billion to $2.5 billion. Since the funding rate is positive, it can be ascertained that most of the money has gone towards long contracts.

SOL Price Prediction: Key Resistance to WatchSolana’s price bounced off the support at $169 to trade at $180 at the time of writing. While the aforementioned cues are bullish, the altcoin still faces resistance at $191. Breaching this resistance level will enable further growth.
Should SOL reclaim $200 as a support floor, it could rise above $201, marking a new year-to-date high.
