Solana (SOL), Shiba Inu (SHIB), XRP and Cardano (ADA) Price Analysis For August 8: What Can Fuel the Recovery?
Solana is hovering around $74, stuck between its 20‑ and 50‑day moving averages. The 100‑day line at $79 still caps any rally, and the 200‑day sits near $90, keeping the broader trend negative. A daily close above $79 would be the first real sign of medium‑term optimism.
XRP trades near $1.02‑$1.03, with RSI sliding to about 36. Volume is tapering, so the downtrend remains, but the market is edging toward oversold territory—still not enough to confirm a reversal.
Shiba Inu sits at $0.00000464, below its 50‑day average. Momentum is neutral, and the next support sits around $0.00000445; a breach could push it toward $0.00000410.
Cardano holds above its 20‑ and 50‑day averages near $0.20, RSI at 68, suggesting the recovery is intact but may pause for profit‑taking.

CLARITY Act Likely To Fail in September. Will Crypto Prices React?
The US Senate is preparing for a possible September vote on the CLARITY Act, even as lawmakers remain short of the support needed to move the crypto market structure bill forward. Senate Majority Leader John Thune still intends to file cloture on the motion to proceed before lawmakers leave for the August recess, according to journalist Eleanor Terrett, citing multiple sources. The move would put the CLARITY Act in position for a procedural vote when the Senate returns in September. It would also signal that Republican leadership plans to prioritize the bill despite unresolved disagreements.
