Sol bucks the drift with a small gain but stays inside downtrend

SOL is slightly higher near $130–$132, up about 0.5%, outperforming most large caps today. Still, CoinDesk notes that Solana, along with other high‑beta altcoins, has been under pressure in recent weeks as year‑end profit‑taking in BTC and thin liquidity amplify moves, leaving SOL down on the week and still vulnerable if Bitcoin retests lower supports.
