Solana (SOL) is attempting to reclaim a key support level amid the recent market recovery, with bullish sentiment seemingly returning to the Altcoin. Some analysts suggested that its momentum could propel the cryptocurrency to the next crucial resistance.

The market’s recovery has propelled the token above the $145 barrier earlier this week, after printing five consecutive green daily candles. Amid this week’s surge, on-chain analytics platform Santiment highlighted that Solana’s social sentiment has seen a massive surge to historic highs fueled by institutional interest, technological advantages, community support, and influencer engagement. “With news of institutions like GameStop and BlackRock are integrating Bitcoin and launching yield-bearing tokenized treasury funds on Solana, crypto’s #5 market cap asset is seeing an astounding level of bullish sentiment pouring in on social media,” explained Santiment’s Director of Marketing, Brian Quinlivan. Per the post, social media posts reflect optimism for SOL’s price recovery and a bullish outlook on the broader crypto market. Notably, Solana registers a “nearly unheard of positive vs. negative commentary ratio of 18:1 right now.” Just a month ago, the SOL’s sentiment hit its lowest level in a year. According to analyst Miles Deutscher, the sentiment has not been at those levels since Solana reclaimed the $100 barrier in early 2024. It’s worth noting that market sentiment significantly shifted following the collapse of the memecoin frenzy, which fueled SOL’s rally throughout last year. After the TRUMP and MELANIA memecoin launches and the LIBRA token controversy, several community members expressed increasing fatigue from the numerous scams. Subsequently, the cryptocurrency’s price dropped over 50% from its January all-time high (ATH), losing the $200 support zone and hitting a yearly low of $111 earlier this month. SOL Gearing Up For Next Big Resistance Various market watchers noted Solana’s recent performance, underscoring the reclaim of the $136 level on Monday. This level has been a significant resistance for the past two weeks and has also served as a key breakout level during the Q1 and Q4 2024 breakouts. Analyst Jelle considers there’s “a lot of ground to cover” despite the “solid reclaim” of the 2024 range lows. Meanwhile, another market watcher pointed out that Solana broke out an ascending triangle pattern after the price surge.

After attempting to reclaim the $140 mark this morning, SOL is currently retesting the recently recovered support, hovering between the $136-$139 price range. A successful breakout confirmation could impulse Solana’s rally toward the next big barrier, at $180. According to Ether Wizz, SOL is “fully ready for its next B I G move.” Once the next crucial resistance is broken, the “next leg up will take us towards $270. Many people are still not ready for this move,” the analyst concluded. As of this writing, Solana trades at $138, a 2% surge in the weekly timeframe.

Amid the market retrace, Solana (SOL) saw a massive correction that dragged its price to a five-month low. If SOL fails to reclaim its key support levels, some market watchers predict the altcoin risks further bleeding. Related Reading: Red Monday, Green Week? Bitcoin Needs To Reclaim This Level For Trend Continuation – Analyst Solana Sentiment Plummets To Yearly Low On Monday afternoon, the crypto market continued the weekend bleeding after failing to hold its key support levels. In the past 24 hours, most cryptocurrencies have dropped to monthly lows amid the latest market correction. Bitcoin, the largest crypto by market capitalization, moved from the $96,000 mark to the range lows of its post-elections range before losing the $90,000 support for the first time since November. As the flagship crypto bled, Solana, one of the leading Altcoins this cycle, followed BTC’s steps. SOL dropped 12% from the $150 support, tapping the $140 level and dropping to $131 on Tuesday morning, its lowest price since September. Analyst Miles Deutscher pointed out that Solana’s sentiment has reached its lowest level in over a year. According to the post, the sentiment for SOL hasn’t been this low since the cryptocurrency first reclaimed the $100 mark at the start of 2024. It’s worth noting that market sentiment has shifted over the past few weeks, with several community members expressing increasing fatigue from the numerous Solana-based memecoin scams. After the Libra token crash, which saw over $100 million taken from investors, the market started to see capital rotation from Solana to Ethereum. At the time, SOL’s price dropped 12%, losing the $180 support zone and failing to reclaim it for the past week. Deutscher stated that Solana is “finally having its capitulation moment” after being a top performer throughout last year. He also implied that the capitulation suggests a rebound could be coming. Another 50% Drop Coming? Crypto analyst Jelle highlighted that Solana is registering a 50% drop from January highs and has retraced to a key weekly level. The $130 and $140 zone was a key support level throughout the 2021 all-time high (ATH) breakout and the 2024 rally. Jelle also suggested that holding this area will be key for Solana’s performance, as the upcoming token unlock, scheduled for March 1st, will affect its price. Ali Martinez commented on SOL’s recent performance, noting that SOL’s trading pair against BTC resembles ETH/BTC. According to the analyst, the SOL/BTC chart is starting to look like Ethereum’s trading pair against BTC’s past price action.

Meanwhile, Altcoin Sherpa considers the $90-$125 region a “good area overall” to purchase, as he doesn’t believe that Solana is “dead.” The analyst added that SOL will likely recover from the lows but expects some volatility. As of this writing, SOL trades at $141.36, a 45% decline in the monthly timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com
Data shows the social media sentiment around Dogecoin and Solana has seen a significant improvement following the market turnaround. Social Media Is Now Bullish On Dogecoin, Solana, & Cardano In a new post on X, the analytics firm Santiment has discussed what sentiment the traders on social media currently hold toward the various top assets in the cryptocurrency sector. The metric of relevance here is the “Positive/Negative Sentiment,” which, as its name suggests, tells us about how the bullish and bearish sentiments related to a given asset compare on the major social media platforms. Related Reading: Massive Dogecoin Rally Incoming? Experts Point To Over 1,000% Upside This indicator works by putting the posts/comments/messages present on the platforms through a machine-learning model to separate between positive and negative ones. It then takes the ratio of these counts to calculate the net situation around the coin. When the Positive/Negative Sentiment has a value greater than zero, it means the bullish posts outweigh the negative ones. On the other hand, it being under the mark implies the investors as a whole share a negative sentiment. Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the indicator for six top coins: Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), XRP (XRP), Dogecoin (DOGE), Solana (SOL), and Cardano (ADA): As displayed in the above graph, the Positive/Negative Sentiment has witnessed an increase for Solana, Dogecoin, and Cardano recently, suggesting the sentiment around the assets has improved. Out of these, traders are the most positive toward SOL, with its bullish comments being around six times the bearish ones. The metric has a value of around 3 for ADA and 2 for DOGE. The improvement in sentiment for Dogecoin and others has come after a sector-wide rebound in prices. Interestingly, while the bullish wave has made investors more optimistic about these coins, it has failed to do so in the case of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP, the top three cryptocurrencies by market cap. The indicator is sitting close to the neutral zero level for these assets, which implies there are about as many positive posts as negative ones. This fact, however, may not actually be bad for BTC and the crypto market.

This means that an overly bullish crowd can lead to tops, while an extremely bearish one can result in bottoms. Thus, the hype around Dogecoin, Solana, and Cardano may act to the detriment of their prices, while Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP could have bullish room to run before they reach a top. DOGE Price At the time of writing, Dogecoin is floating around $0.352, up more than 2% over the past week. Featured image from Dall-E, Santiment.net, chart from TradingView.com
Solana (SOL) has continued its recent bullish wave during the last 24 hours with a surge of 4%, but the trend in this social media-related metric could be to watch out for. Traders May Have Become Too Hyped Around Solana On Social Media Recently According to data from the analytics firm Santiment, the positive sentiment around SOL on social media has shot up to a nine-month high following the latest bullish momentum that the coin has seen. Related Reading: Bitcoin Whales Are Going Through A ‘Generational’ Shift, CryptoQuant CEO Reveals The indicator of relevance here is the “Positive Vs. Negative Sentiment,” which, as its name suggests, keeps track of the ratio between the amount of positive and negative comments related to Solana that are appearing on social media. This metric works by analyzing the posts/threads/messages on various social media platforms (X, Reddit, Telegram, 4Chan, and BitcoinTalk) and running them through a machine-learning model to determine which ones relate to positive sentiment and which ones relate to negative sentiment. When the indicator has a value greater than 1, it means the number of positive posts are outweighing the negative ones right now. On the other hand, it being under the mark implies the dominance of bearish comments. Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the Positive Vs. Negative Sentiment for Solana over the last few months: As displayed in the above graph, the Solana Positive Vs. Negative Sentiment has registered a large spike as the latest recovery in the asset’s price has taken place. With this spike, the indicator has reached a value of more than 5.6, which means social media users are making over 5.6 times as many bullish posts as bearish ones. This is the highest that the metric has been in around nine months, so the traders are clearly quite optimistic about the current SOL rally. While some bullish moods can be conducive to rallies, an excess of them can actually prove to be an obstacle. Historically, cryptocurrencies like Solana have tended to show moves that are opposite to what the crowd is expecting. The probability of a contrary move rises the more sure the traders become of a direction, so a highly bullish market can lead to tops in the price.

Negative Sentiment had occurred around local tops in Solana’s value. So far, SOL has only continued to rally further despite the investor FOMO, but considering the historical pattern, it’s possible a top may be hit before long, should hype on social media maintain at high levels. SOL Price Solana has continued its latest run with a 4% surge over the past day, which has taken its price above the $153 level.
