Over the past six months, 
Solana has outperformed 
Ethereum, but recent market conditions have impacted both cryptocurrencies. Solana's price has declined by 1.67% in the last 24 hours and 6.77% over the past week, while Ethereum has fallen by 1.64% in the last 24 hours and 6.35% over the week.
Despite Solana's recent outperformance, Ethereum's price is currently supported by its 200-day moving average at $2314, which is seen as a key technical indicator of its long-term trend. This support level could provide a floor for ETH's price and potentially attract buyers looking for a safer investment.
Solana's critical support level is at $97.45, according to Crypto Daily. If SOL's price breaks below this level, it could signal further downward movement and erode the gains it has made over the past six months.
The broader cryptocurrency market remains relatively flat, with a total market cap of $2.75 trillion. 
Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency by market cap, is also experiencing a slight decline of 0.99% in the last 24 hours.
