Solana (SOL) has had a tough time trying to find its footing again after a difficult beginning of the year. Former market leader Solana has struggled lately with its price dropping by 15% this week which has caused a vibration among investors. Solana has been unable to hold on to key support levels since touching its all-time high of $263.83 on November 23, 2024.

Earlier in the last month of the year, Solana’s price had begun to fall and trade below the crucial $200 level. A brief attempt at a bullish recovery failed to buoy the cryptocurrency on January 7 as the price dropped once more, failing to regain support at $190 and indicating a continued bearish trend. Nonetheless, Solana has recently begun to rebound; within the past 24 hours it has risen back above $200 to trade at $201. 

Ozak AI: Rising Competitor in the AI-Blockchain 

Meanwhile, Ozak AI ($OZ) is gaining traction as a revolutionary cryptocurrency that merges artificial intelligence (AI) with blockchain technology. Ozak AI is looking to revolutionize the predictive analytics market with the help of tools such as the Ozak Stream Network (OSN) and Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePINs). They are fast, accurate, and secure, and thus $OZ is an ideal platform for financial markets.

The token has the following functionalities: it serves as a payment instrument, it is used in the distribution of incentives, and it provides the holders with better analytical tools. This has attracted investors, from institutional investors to retail investors, due to the many ways in which the strategy can be put into practice. At present, in the second presale round, $OZ is available for $0.002, starting at $0.001. Given that the tokens are expected to be priced at $0.05 in listing and could reach $1 by 2025. More than 39 million tokens have already been sold in the presale, the latter speaks volumes about the market’s interest in the project.

Conclusion

While Solana is still trying to overcome the $200 mark, fresh projects like Solaxy and Ozak AI are coming to the fore. The Solaxy fundraiser and the Ozak AI technology are clear examples of how the crypto market is never stagnant. Solana is still a big player, though the problems there show how new projects may redefine the battle. Investors will be interested to see if Solana can bounce back and take the spotlight again or if its layer-2 plans and other alternatives will dominate the spotlight instead.
