SOL in plain facts
Updated 2026-11-15 (UTC) · Binance spot data
How SOL behaves versus Bitcoin
SOL has a beta of 1.37 against Bitcoin: amplifies Bitcoin's moves ~1.37× — up and down alike. In plain terms, on a day Bitcoin moves 1%, SOL has moved about 1.37% on average in the same direction. Beta describes past co-movement over the available daily history; it is not a forecast.
What SOL moves with
Over the last 90 days its daily moves tracked BTC (0.87) and ETH (0.86) most closely among the large coins we compare against. A correlation of 1.0 would mean they moved in lockstep; 0 would mean no relationship.
Where SOL sits in its own history
Today's price is higher than on 33% of the days in its last 5 years on Binance — in the lower-middle of its range.
How volatile SOL is
Its annualised volatility over the last 90 days is 64.4%, about 1.44× Bitcoin's over the same window. Today's move: a typical day (~1.2× normal).
SOL's worst drawdown
The deepest peak-to-trough fall in this window was -95.9%, bottoming on 2022-12-29. Context: an extraordinary market period (no single event matched). This number is free on Sightglass and always will be.
