Solana (SOL) reached a new all-time high of $295.83 on January 19 during the meme coin mania. Although its price has declined by 22%, investors are optimistic that it will reach this peak again in February.

The potential launch of Solana futures contracts on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) may boost SOL's price. While an error on CME's website suggested a February 10 debut, no official decision has been made. CME's history of legitimizing institutional access to cryptocurrencies makes the confirmation of Solana futures significant.

However, a token unlock of $489.2 million worth of coins in February could increase the available supply and potentially exert downward pressure on SOL's price. Token unlocks typically create uncertainty and fear in investors.

At the moment, SOL is trading at $231.53, with a 9% decrease in value over the past week. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator shows a bearish trend, indicating selling activity exceeds accumulation among market participants. If this trend continues, SOL's price could drop below $200.

On the other hand, if there is a resurgence in demand due to a meme coin run or the launch of SOL futures contracts, the bearish projection would be invalidated, and SOL's price could revisit its all-time high and rally past it.
