Soles still have a long way to go, don't hesitate to invest in soles. the altcoin market is not yet on sol's side, I see that currently Solana still has good development and can penetrate ATH but it will take a long time. so the position of the sole is still safe for now even though it failed to penetrate ATH
I'm just as sure as you say that sol is still just pending achieving renewable ATH, and will continue to work towards achieving it.
if we look at the chart on CG it is clear that the sol in October is better than the increase from bitcoin, this clearly indicates that there is a direction to the positive.
if bitcoin will increase again after the current correction, then it is certain that the sol will be able to reach towards renewable ATH. it is only a matter of time that soles will be able to do that and they will always remain a very attractive investment.
