Solana SOL/USD is trading lower by 3.2% to $133.07 Wednesday afternoon. Shares of several altcoins are trading lower for the session amid a drop in the price of Bitcoin.
Investor sentiment plays a significant role in the crypto market. When Bitcoin experiences a downturn after reaching all-time highs, it can create fear and uncertainty among investors. This sentiment can spill over to other cryptocurrencies, including Solana, causing them to trade lower as well.
Despite its growing popularity and adoption, Bitcoin still holds significant dominance in the cryptocurrency market. Many altcoins, including Solana, often follow Bitcoin’s price movements closely. If Bitcoin experiences a significant correction or downturn, it can lead to a broader sell-off across the crypto market, including Solana.
