Solana is trading at $76.43, approaching the $77 to $80 resistance level analysts have been watching closely, while Ethereum holds steady at $1,863 after its strong 6 percent gain last Tuesday.
This week to watch:
Fed meeting July 28 to 29, US initial jobless claims July 23, IBM and Google earnings July 23, and any developments on the CLARITY Act Senate vote.
