The target tug-of-war
Standard Chartered took a knife to its 2026 Solana target, trimming it from $310 to $250. The bank said the backdrop looks messier now, with macro headwinds and squeezed altcoin valuations doing their usual “fun is over” routine.
Meanwhile, the bulls are still showing up
Not everyone got the memo. Doo Prime kept its $336 ceiling in place, which would imply roughly 300% upside from current levels near $83.79. That’s a pretty wide gap in expectations — and a nice reminder that crypto forecasters can sound less like analysts and more like two people reading different horoscopes.
Why you should care
For SOL holders, this isn’t just a spreadsheet fight. Big target changes can shape sentiment, especially in a market where ETF chatter, liquidity swings, and risk-on/risk-off headlines can yank prices around faster than you can refresh a chart.
- Standard Chartered sees more downside in the near-to-medium term.
- Doo Prime thinks Solana still has a moonshot runway.
- The latest pop came after resumed U.S.-Iran peace talks helped spark a broader risk-on move and a wave of crypto liquidations.
Big picture: Solana still has believers, but the institutional crowd clearly hasn’t agreed on what the next chapter looks like yet.
