Solana (SOL) has registered a 0.58% loss in the past day, representing a slight price retracement from its strong weekly performance. Notably, the altcoin gained by nearly 10% in the last seven days as general crypto prices surged, pushing its unit price into the $160 price region. Amidst the present market cool-off, Ali Martinez has tipped Solana to embark on a parabolic rally subject to a particular market condition. Related Reading: Why The Solana Price Could Crash To $95 Before Reaching $200 Solana Bulls Eye Breakout As $170 Emerges As Critical Resistance In an X post on July 12, Martinez outlines a bullish technical analysis on the Solana market, stating the altcoin is at a key price juncture. Using the weekly chart, the analyst has been able to identify a mega cup-and-handle pattern, which usually precedes a major price rally. However, the altcoin faces a critical price resistance at the $170 region. For context, the cup-and-handle pattern is a popular bullish chart formation that indicates potential for significant price upswings. As seen in the chart below, it resembles the shape of a teacup, commencing with a bearish market, followed by a price recovery of equal magnitude as seen between the start of 2022 and the start of 2025. During this period, investors saw Solana prices crash from around $250 to a cycle low of $9.88 before experiencing a gradual return to a similar peak, thereby forming the cup pattern. Thereafter, SOL has experienced significant price corrections and rebounds, eventually creating a descending price pattern that represents the handle of this formation. Notably, the cup-and-handle pattern only translates into a price surge following a decisive price breakout above the formation’s neckline. Following recent gains, Solana finds itself within touching distance of this neckline at the $170 price mark. Martinez explains that a successful weekly close above this major resistance will validate the bullish intentions on Solana, inducing a heavy market demand and paving the path for higher price territories. Based on the Fibonacci retracement and extension levels on the chart, the initial price target in the event of this breakout is set at $295, instantly matching the current all-time high. However, the historical magnitude of breakouts from cup-and-handle pattern points to lofty price targets, such as $ $787, $1,314, and a max target of $2,744. However, a rejection at $170 may force Solana to visit lower support levels near $135 or even $100, which has served as a major demand zone in the past.

Meanwhile, the asset’s daily trading volume is down by 38.77% and valued at $3.72 billion. Featured image from Byte Tree, chart from Tradingview.com
The Solana price has fallen by a considerable amount after hitting an all-time high of almost $300 back in January 2025. Even with the recent market recovery, the price is still sitting over 45% below its all-time high price, highlighting the struggles that the altcoin has faced in recent times. Amid this, a crypto analyst has suggested that the Solana price could crash even further from here, predicting a 40% crash could be in the cards once more. Why Solana Could See A Price Crash Crypto analyst The Alchemist Trader has highlighted the development of a rare bullish harmonic pattern on the Solana price chart. Now, while this pattern formation is inherently bullish for any digital asset, the shorter term does come with some hurdles for the altcoin to surmount first. Related Reading: Bitcoin Open Interest Climbs Above December 2024 Levels, Here’s What Happened Last Time The main thing to focus on here is that this bullish pattern does initially trigger a liquidity sweep of previous lows. In this case, the recent Solana price low lies at the $95 level, which is a 40% decrease from its current price, trending above $150. The possibility of this low sweep is made even more prominent by a couple of technical developments on the chart. The first technical point the analyst shows is the Point of Control (POC) Battle. According to the analysis, the Solana price is now testing this POC level with low momentum, shown by the slow climb over the last few days. Additionally, there is also mounting resistance at the Value Area High and the 0.618 Fibonacci level, which lies just above $163. Then, there is the completion of the C-leg of the wave, putting it as low as $95. A crash to this level becomes more likely if the Solana price fails to break through the resistance with conviction. If the price is rejected and the C-leg does play out, then this correction is expected to trigger the 40% crash to the $95 level. It’s Not All Bearish News As already mentioned above, the bearish leg of the rare bullish harmonic pattern is only temporary and often gives way to an even stronger impulse move. As the crypto analyst explains, the crash to $95 will only happen in the immediate short term, but it does not actually invalidate the overall bullish trend. Related Reading: Market Expert Says It’s Now ‘Illegal’ To Short Bitcoin, Here’s Why Once the D-leg is over and the crash is completed, the crypto analyst predicts that the Solana price will start to rally again. From the predicted $05 lows, an over 100% move is expected to take it back to $200 and beyond before the rally is over. The analyst explains that “Until this scenario is confirmed or invalidated, Solana remains range-bound between major high time frame levels.” Therefore, “Traders should stay alert for signs of rejection at current resistance — or, conversely, a volume-backed breakout above the value area high that would negate the harmonic setup.” Featured image from Dall.E, chart from TradingView.com
Solana is exhibiting strong bullish signs supported by moving averages, volume, and momentum indicators, which hint at a short-term pause or consolidation in the rally. What Bulls Need To Watch To Sustain The Rally In an X post, Gemxbt stated that the Solana 1-hour chart has displayed a bullish market structure, with the price trading above the 5, 10, and 20-day moving averages. The indication of short-term moving averages signals strong upward momentum, which shows that buyers are in control. The recent price action has been supported by notable volume spikes, confirming the strength behind the upward moves and adding credibility to the rally. Related Reading: Solana Whale Moves $152 Million In One Splash—What’s Going On? The key resistance is around $154, where SOL has previously faced selling pressure. This zone will determine whether bullish momentum can push the price higher. On the downside, support is sitting near $150, which is acting as a cushion to absorb any immediate selling pressure and prevent a deeper pullback. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is approaching overbought territory, which may signal that the asset is due for a period of consolidation or sideways movement before continuing its climb. Meanwhile, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) has recently shown a bullish crossover, reinforcing the uptrend and suggesting the upward momentum could continue if buying interest persists. Crypto investor and trader Theodor Coin also revealed that the Solana 1-hour chart is showing a clear recovery after the dip seen in early July. The open interest is trending upward and has now surpassed $3.62 billion. An increase here typically indicates growing trader market engagement, which is a precursor to heightened volatility and significant price moves. From here, a breakout above the $154 resistance could unleash a powerful rally fueled by the increasing market interest and positive momentum. Uptrend Line Remains Intact — A Positive Sign A crypto analyst known as Day on X also updated that Solana is holding above the long-term support area around $120 on the weekly chart, a level that has been a launchpad for rallies. Related Reading: Solana Ready For $160 Reclaim? Analysts Say Breakout Is A Matter Of Time The long-term uptrend line remains intact, and with each higher low, the case for a massive cup-and-handle pattern becomes stronger. However, this pattern won’t confirm until SOL breaks above the critical $250 resistance zone, a level that capped price action during the previous rally. If SOL manages to break out above the $250 zone, it could unlock a measured move price target of $500, which marks a milestone in Solana’s recovery and expansion. The analyst also noted that SOL is not there yet, and that the first step for bulls is reclaiming $185 resistance level, which has consistently rejected upside attempts. featured image from iStock images, chart from tradingview.com

Solana meme coin launchpad Pump.fun has lost a significant chunk of its market share to LetsBonk.fun. This comes just ahead of the former’s token generation event, in which the launchpad could raise up to $4 billion. Solana’s Pump.fun Loses Dominance To LetsBonk.fun In an X post, Solana News revealed that Pump.fun has hit a new all-time low with just a 36% market share, while LetsBonk.fun’s market share has surged to 54%. Jup data also confirms this development. At press time, LetsBonk boasts a market share of 48.90%, with a 24-hour trading volume of $539 million. On the other hand, Pump boasts a market share of 39.80%, with a 24-hour trading volume of $438 million. Related Reading: Analyst Says Buying This Meme Coin Is A 3X Leveraged Play If Solana ETFs Go Live This development comes amid Pump.fun’s proposed public token sale, scheduled for July 12. Well-known Solana influencer Lynk has described this token sale as the “final scam” for the meme coin launchpad. The platform has been under heavy criticism for the amount of money that it has extracted from the Solana ecosystem, without incentivizing community members in any way. Some community members had expected Pump.fun to airdrop its token to rewards platform users instead of conducting a public token sale. Lynk shared details of the public sale, with the meme coin launchpad planning to sell the ‘PUMP’ tokens $0.004 each. The token boasts a total supply of 1 trillion, meaning a fully diluted value (FDV) of $4 billion. However, Pump.fun plans to raise around $600 million from the public token sale, as only $150 billion tokens will be available. The meme coin launchpad is expected to also conduct a private sale in order to complete its $1 billion capital raise effort, as earlier reported. LetsBonk.fun To Keep Dominating Pump.fun In an X post, crypto influencer Unipcs, also known as ‘Bonk Guy,’ opined that Pump.fun isn’t done, but that LetsBonk.fun will likely continue to be the industry leader. He predicts that this will be the case for the foreseeable future. He outlined several reasons why he believes this would be the case. Related Reading: Solana Picture Bigger Than $420: Analyst Predicts 140% Surge To New ATHs Firstly, he stated that LetsBonk’s pro-creator, pro-people, pro-Solana ecosystem alignment is a massive strength over Pump.fun. Secondly, Bonk Guy remarked that the strong culture of support within the BONK ecosystem is incredibly hard to replicate by any other platform in a short period. Furthermore, the crypto influencer remarked that Pump.fun had a lot of momentum as a tokenless protocol, especially with a token generation event (TGE). However, LetsBonk.fun was able to flip the platform during this period. As such, Bonk Guy believes that it is hard to see Pump.fun sustainably recover the kind of market share it once had after the TGE event. He also suggested that a “non-negligible amount of activity on Pump.fun is inorganic with a lot os users farming on the platform, hoping that there was going to be an airdrop. As such, the influencer believes that the traffic will dry up once the TGE is over. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com

Solana is displaying signs of strength as it trades with a key chart pattern, which indicates that the altcoin is preparing for a solid move. The price has been holding steady, forming lower highs and higher lows within a narrowing range. This pause in momentum could be setting the stage for another breakout. Key Resistance Levels In Focus As Breakout Approaches Solana has developed a bullish flag pattern on the daily chart, signaling a continuation of its uptrend. According to Dynamite Trader’s post on X, this pattern often precedes strong breakouts, suggesting that momentum could soon accelerate. Related Reading: Solana (SOL) Breakout Watch: Price Could Rally Hard Above $150 Level? Currently, SOL’s price is holding above the midline of the flag, indicating underlying strength. However, it’s also testing the daily 100 moving average (MA100), which is acting as a dynamic resistance. SOL’s reaction to this level will be crucial in determining whether the bullish flag leads to a decisive breakout or a deeper consolidation. Another analyst, Henry, highlighted that Solana is gearing up for a big move after completing a clean Cup and Handle breakout on the 4-hour chart, a bullish pattern that signals continuation. The breakout saw SOL flip the $149 resistance into support, a key technical shift. If this level holds, Henry sees a rally toward the $168 to $174 zone, which aligns with previous resistance levels and bullish extension targets. He adds a warning that volatility is increasing, and high-leverage positions are at risk on both sides. Solana is setting up a clean wedge on the weekly chart. Currently trading at $150, SOL has been consistently bouncing between support and resistance levels, which is known for building pressure before delivering sharp moves. Talking about this, Top G emphasizes that if this plays out as expected, the next leg up could be significant, and $300 isn’t just speculation; it’s a realistic target based on the structure and behavior. Holding Above The Breakout Zone Could Accelerate The Move Upward Solana has broken above the downtrend line on the 4-hour chart. This move could mark a pivotal shift in short-term momentum, with potential bullish continuation if current levels hold. Related Reading: Solana Price At ‘A Very Delicate Level’ – Analyst Says $148 Reclaim Is Key If SOL maintains its position above this trend line, crypto analyst Bens BTC noted that the price could climb toward the next resistance area at $165. The price action is forming a bullish structure, and momentum indicators may soon align with the breakout, further supporting the continuation of the upside. The asset had broken out with strong momentum and is now trading firmly within a long-term bullish channel, a structure that has supported uptrends. The price action looks clean, with higher highs and higher lows forming as SOL surges upward. Furthermore, analyst Persis10t revealed that momentum is picking up, and as long as the channel remains intact, the path forward could be explosive. If the structure holds and attracts volume, Persis10t projects a target of $700+ in the next run, pointing to the upper boundary of the bullish channel as a magnet for price.

As the crypto market looks toward a recovery and the likes of Solana make their way out of losses, a crypto trader has called out one meme coin that could be a great play as the SOL price recovers. The BONK meme coin, currently the largest meme coin in the Solana ecosystem and billed for triggering the revival of the blockchain, continues to receive a lot of support as a meme coin that could outperform as the market ushers in the next altcoin season. Solana’s BONK Meme Coin Is The Play Crypto analyst and trader Unipcs became popular in crypto circles on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) after turning $16,000 into more than $10 million with a long BONK trade. Despite making what many have referred to as a life-changing trade, the trader has refused to close this trade, with the expectation that the meme coin will continue to rise. Related Reading: TD Sequential Flashes Buy: Dogecoin Ready For Rebound To $0.21 In a recent post, Unipcs has once again reiterated his support for the BONK meme coin and why he believes it’s a great play to be involved in. The post mainly points to bullish developments surrounding the Solana ecosystem and why BONK could be a way to maximize gains as the Solana price rallies. The first bullish development the crypto analyst points to is the fact that a Solana ETF is expected to hit the market soon. When this happens, the Solana price is expected to recover in response, possibly rising toward new all-time highs, something that would translate into more bullishness for meme coins domiciled on the blockchain. As for BONK, Unipcs explained that the meme coin acts as a 3X leveraged bet on the Solana price. This is because historically, the BONK price has often risen 3X higher than any gains that Solana puts in. Its highly volatile nature as a meme coin also contributes to this, as it is prone to rapid bursts of rising prices, the same way it is prone to quick crashes. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price At $110,000: Why BTC Must Break Out Of This Wedge Furthermore, the expectations of a Solana ETF being approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) are not the only thing propelling the bullishness of BONK. BONK, itself, also has a pending ETF filing with the commission, and the approval of a Solana ETF increases the likelihood of a BONK ETF approval, giving the meme coin even more fuel to rally. Given these bullish factors, the crypto analyst believes that being in BONK could be a good play, especially as the price remains 75% below its all-time high. “Ff we do get Solana season soon, you do not want to be underexposed to BONK,” Unipcs said in closing.

In a recent post on X, crypto analyst Grayhoood observed that Solana (SOL) is currently showing signs of a bullish trend. Over the past 24 hours, the price has climbed by 2.8%, with candlestick charts revealing a noticeable upward trajectory. Solana Stochastics And CCI Signal Short-Term Strength Earlier in the day, SOL briefly dipped to around $151 but managed to recover steadily, reaching a current price of $155.35. Grayhoood pointed out that this short-term strength is consistent with Solana’s 7-day performance, which shows a modest 1.4% increase. However, the longer-term outlook remains volatile, with SOL still down by 3.9% over the past year. Related Reading: Solana Picture Bigger Than $420: Analyst Predicts 140% Surge To New ATHs Grayhoood revealed that technical indicators are suggesting a cautiously optimistic outlook for SOL. As price action continues to show signs of recovery, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is likely positioned in a neutral zone, indicating the recent uptick. This positioning allows space for further gains, but also signals a potential shift into overbought territory if SOL’s price surges too rapidly. The Stochastic Oscillator and Commodity Channel Index (CCI) also point to short-term bullish momentum, especially with SOL breaking through the $154 resistance level. These indicators suggest that buyers are regaining control. However, Grayhoood cautioned that while momentum appears to be building, the recent price dip observed earlier in the day reveals that sellers are not entirely out of the picture. Recovery Gains Traction, But Yearly Losses Still Weigh In To further reinforce his claim, the analyst pointed to Solana’s moving averages, which currently present a mixed but insightful technical outlook. In the short term, the 7-day and 14-day moving averages hint at a hold or mild buying pressure. This aligns with SOL’s recent bounce from $151 to $155.35, signaling that momentum may be shifting in favor of the bulls. Related Reading: Solana’s Old Hands Are Moving—Is Trouble Brewing? However, when viewed from a broader lens, long-term averages continue to reflect lingering weakness. The 30-day and yearly trends, which show declines of 9.3% and 3.9% respectively, suggest that the larger market remains cautious. These figures reveal that while the recent gains are encouraging, they have not fully reversed the bearish structure seen over the past months. Overall, the analyst believes that despite the volatility seen over the past few weeks, market sentiment is beginning to lean bullish in the short term. Solana’s recent performance, supported by its ability to reclaim key levels and maintain upward momentum, offers a more favorable outlook heading into the near future. If current trends persist and key resistances are successfully challenged, the path may open for a broader shift in sentiment. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com

Solana (SOL) is once again in the spotlight, as a market analyst has forecasted a massive rally that could propel the token’s price to new All-Time Highs (ATHs) by late 2025. The prediction suggests a staggering 140% surge from current levels toward a bold price target of $420 and beyond. Solana Prepares For Parabolic Move Toward $420 A fresh chart analysis shared by a TradingView crypto analyst, Master Ananda, reports that Solana has completed a textbook rounded bottom pattern, indicating a bullish reversal to new ATHs. Notably, the analyst forecasts that SOL is gearing up for a parabolic surge to $420, emphasizing that this bullish projection is not the cryptocurrency’s final target. Related Reading: Analyst Tells Investors To Be Patient As Solana Price Hits Resistance The analysis, as stated earlier, is based on the formation of a rounded bottom pattern, which has been developing since early 2025. This pattern has now transitioned into a breakout structure, with the Solana price reportedly holding firm above the $160 support line — a level considered the baseline of the rounded bottom and a psychological stronghold for the market. Notably, Solana faced a strong rejection at a key resistance area on May 23. However, despite the pullback, Master Ananda emphasized that the price action remains resilient, suggesting that bullish momentum is still intact and the dip has not altered the altcoin’s positive long-term outlook in the months ahead. In addition, Solana also dropped to a low on May 19, marked by the blue line on the price chart. Despite this, the analyst strongly asserts that there is “absolutely no bearish action” on the current chart. As long as the $160 level holds, the current trend is likely to accelerate toward higher Fibonacci resistance levels, culminating in the 1.618 extension at around $419.78. This bullish target would represent approximately 140% growth from the current price of around $178 and would place Solana at a new all-time high. Interestingly, Master Ananda noted that even if Solana falls below the key support level, it would be of little concern. Such a move would likely signal a market shakeout or a bear trap rather than a pullback or an invalidation of Solana’s bullish thesis. This view stems from the belief that SOL’s bullish bias has already been confirmed, positioning the market for potential strong growth over the long term. The key point of Master Ananda’s analysis is that Solana’s rise is expected to be sudden and powerful, leaving those on the sidelines regretting missed opportunities. As the market matures and liquidity improves following Bitcoin’s steady rise, the sharp upside potential for Solana could unfold much quicker than anticipated. Macro Catalysts Align For Massive Crypto Growth While explaining his bullish case for Solana, Master Ananda revealed that changes in macroeconomic factors could become a catalyst for astonishing growth in the crypto market. With the US Federal Reserve (FED) expected to initiate interest rate cuts in the coming months, the broader risk-on environment is set to benefit the crypto sector significantly. Related Reading: Solana Rebound To $900 Is Coming, But This Resistance Stands In The Way The analyst suggests that Solana’s current price levels, while not at absolute lows, still represent a significant buy zone. Master Ananda revealed that Solana’s potential is substantial, and as the next bull cycle gains momentum, $300 will no longer be seen as expensive. Before this happens, Master Ananda has stated that investors “should be fully invested and buy like it’s the end of the world”. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com
Solana (SOL) is beginning to show signs of renewed strength as technical indicators hint at a potential breakout. On the weekly chart, the MACD is curling up and has recently crossed above the signal line, a bullish signal that often precedes major price movements. With momentum slowly building, traders are now watching closely to see if this shift marks the beginning of a larger rally. Momentum Builds For A Possible Solana Breakout In a recent X post, market analyst Willjayducks drew attention to a significant bearish divergence that unfolded on the Solana weekly chart. He pointed out that as the price surged into its blow-off top, the RSI and MACD indicators showed weakening momentum. This divergence between price action and momentum indicators is a classic technical pattern that typically precedes sharp corrections. Related Reading: Solana Flips Bullish: Price Climbs Above Ichimoku Cloud With Strong Momentum Following this setup, Solana experienced a steep decline, shedding approximately 67% of its value in just 84 days. According to Willjayducks, this dramatic drop suggests the bearish divergence has “arguably played out,” implying that the correction phase may be nearing its end. He further elaborated that the MACD is now curling upward and has recently crossed above the signal line. This crossover suggests that the recent downward pressure may be easing, setting the stage for a potential recovery. According to his analysis, if SOL can gather enough strength and sustain its current upward momentum, the MACD line could eventually cross above the zero line, a more definitive bullish signal that typically confirms a shift in trend. Should this scenario unfold, the analyst believes Solana may be poised to push toward new highs, reigniting interest among traders and investors. However, he also noted a word of caution: if or when this bullish breakout occurs, he’ll be closely monitoring the chart for any emerging signs of bearish divergence, which could once again hint at an overheated market. Bearish Outcome Still On The Table In the climax, the analyst mentioned that there is still a chance things just fizzle out here and continue into a bear trend. Despite recent bullish signals and technical improvements, he cautioned that the current momentum might not be strong enough to sustain a full reversal. Related Reading: Solana Short-Term Indicator Signals Potential Risk – Reversal Or Pause? While price action may stall, leading the market back into a prolonged period of downside movement, Willjayducks emphasized that all we can do for now is watch price action closely and plan for all scenarios. Whether the market pushes higher or fades into weakness, he advised staying alert and adaptable. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com

Solana (SOL) has struggled to maintain momentum after a rally that saw it peak around the $183 level on May 14. Since then, Solana’s price action on the 4-hour chart hasn’t given a clear direction, with the cryptocurrency pulling back to retest a key support zone near $166. Related Reading: Analysis: Crypto Heats Up As $35 Billion Enters Market In Under A Month At the time of writing, Solana is trading around $169.43, up slightly by 0.70% on the day, as it attempts to defend this crucial support level and build a foundation for another upward move. Interestingly, a technical outlook on the TradingView platform has pointed to the paths Solana might take in the coming days. $166 Support Holds Repeated Tests, Break Above $177 Or $183 Will Be Bullish According to a recent analysis posted by TradeCityPro on TradingView, the $166.82 level is serving as a key short-term pivot for Solana. After a bullish leg that began at $142.25 and extended to $177.51, the asset experienced a fake breakout attempt beyond that resistance and was swiftly rejected at $183.86. This rejection brought the price back below $177.51 and into a retest of the $166.82 region. Notably, this support level has been tested twice so far and has held firm. The 4-hour chart is showing strong bullish candles forming around $166, which is an indication of a strong buying interest at this price level. Keeping this in mind, a breakout above either the $177.51 or $183.86 resistance would be the go ahead for a long position, especially if accompanied by the formation of a higher low and higher high beforehand. Until such a breakout occurs, the current setup is one of indecision. A successful breach and daily close above $177 backed by rising volume would likely set the stage for another move toward the $190 to $200 region for Solana. Chart Image From TradingView Short Trade Also Valid Below $166 Support Zone Market volume, however, has declined from last week’s levels. At the time of writing, Solana’s 24-hour trading volume is $2.3 billion, a 36.15% decrease from the previous 24-hour timeframe. As such, a new wave of momentum will be required to drive Solana through the resistance levels at $177 and $183. For now, the Solana price is consolidating tightly above $166, and failure to hold this level could open the door for a retest of the deeper $142.25 support.

According to GemXBT on an X post, the Solana chart shows a promising recovery after a recent downtrend, with the price bouncing off a key support level around $168. This price action suggests that SOL has found a solid foundation at this support zone. Support levels like this are important in technical analysis, as they indicate areas where buying interest may be strong enough to halt a decline. A sustained bounce from this level could attract more buyers, fueling further upward momentum and setting the groundwork for a stronger rally in the coming days. Solana Rebound Sparks Hope For A Renewed Rally GemXBT has observed that SOL is currently trading above the 5-day and 10-day moving averages, which is a key indicator of bullish price action. When an asset’s price remains above these moving averages, it suggests that the market sentiment is positive and that the asset could continue to trend upward. Related Reading: Solana Price Rally Targets $360—But This Support Must Hold Additionally, a bullish crossover in the MACD has been noted, which further confirms upward momentum. The MACD crossover occurs when the MACD line crosses above the signal line. This is a widely recognized technical signal that suggests the market may continue to favor the bulls, supporting the case for more gains in SOL’s price. At the same time, the RSI is approaching neutral levels, suggesting that there is still room for movement in either direction and that the indicator is not yet in overbought or oversold territory. This neutral reading gives Solana the chance to build on its renewed bullish momentum without facing immediate resistance from overbought conditions. However, the key resistance for SOL is near the $180 level, which could present a hurdle for the ongoing rally. This price point will likely be an area where sellers may re-enter the market, potentially halting or slowing down the upward performance. A Broadening Wedge On The SOL’s 4-Hour Chart Whales_Crypto_Trading recently shared an insightful analysis on X, noting that Solana is approaching a key breakout point from a broadening wedge formation on the 4-hour chart. This chart pattern, characterized by fluctuating highs and lows, suggests that the market is experiencing increased volatility and that a decisive price movement is imminent. Related Reading: Solana (SOL) Over $150 — More Upside on The Horizon? The broadening wedge typically precedes a breakout, and Whales_Crypto_Trading highlights that the likelihood of an upward breakout is growing. If the price breaks above the upper boundary of the wedge, it could signal the start of a strong rally. When this happens, the analyst suggests that it might trigger a significant uptrend, pushing the price toward key resistance levels at $215, $228, $243, and $265. These levels represent crucial targets where the price may face challenges, but a successful breach of these zones would pave the way for further upward movement.

Solana (SOL) has officially broken above the Ichimoku Cloud on the daily chart, a key technical signal that often marks the beginning of a bullish trend reversal. After weeks of sideways movement and uncertainty, this decisive breakout suggests that momentum is finally shifting in favor of the bulls. While confirmation from volume and follow-through price action is still needed, the technical outlook is becoming increasingly optimistic. Solana Ichimoku Breakout And Momentum Check Solana’s breakout above the Ichimoku Cloud is more than just a technical checkpoint; it marks a critical shift in its market structure and trader sentiment. This breakout represents a move from uncertainty to confidence, as buyers begin to gain the upper hand after a period of consolidation and hesitation. Related Reading: Solana At A Crossroads: Consolidation Before The Next Major Surge? So far, momentum indicators are leaning bullish, providing early signs that Solana may be entering a new upward phase. One of the most notable signals comes from the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), which has recently made a positive crossover. Not only has the MACD line crossed above the signal line, but the two lines have now moved above the zero line. This double confirmation strengthens the signal significantly. When the MACD and signal lines rise above zero, it typically marks the transition from bearish to bullish territory, indicating that momentum is not just shifting but accelerating in favor of the bulls. However, a clear uptick in volume is essential for SOL to sustain and build on this breakout. Volume is what turns a breakout into a trend, and without it, upward momentum can quickly stall. If volume starts to pick up alongside continued price strength, it could ignite the next leg up, potentially pushing Solana toward key resistance levels. Key Levels To Watch Now As Solana begins to show signs of a bullish reversal, identifying and monitoring key price levels becomes essential for both short-term and long-term investors. These levels act as decision points where price action is likely to react, facing resistance or finding support. Related Reading: Solana Network Activity Grows As 11M Wallets Now Hold 0.1 SOL Or More – Analyst On the upside, it can be observed that the immediate resistance of $164 has been cleared, with SOL now attempting a move toward the $211 resistance level. A clean breakout above this area, especially backed by strong volume, would open the door for a rally toward the $240 mark. Beyond that, $260 remains a major resistance to watch, marking a key round number and prior rejection area. On the downside, $164 now serves as the nearest support following the recent breakout above the Ichimoku Cloud. Holding above this level is crucial to maintain the current bullish structure. A breakdown below it could drag Solana back to the $148–$118 support range, where buyers previously stepped in. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com
Just like the rest of the market, the Solana price had previously hit a roadblock as resistance mounted. This stopped its recovery dead in its tracks before hitting the $180 level, and triggering a downward spiral. However, a crypto analyst has cautioned investors against panicking during this time, explaining that this is the time to be patient. Wait For More Defined Trends In a TradingView post, crypto analyst SiDec explained the current situation surrounding the Solana price, warning investors to not be in a hurry to enter into the coin. They points out that at this level, where the Solana price has hit resistance, it presents a lot of risk for those rushing to get into the market. Related Reading: Why The US-China 90-Day Tariff Slash Can Push Bitcoin Price Above $110,000 As explained, $175-$183 are historical resistance zones for the altcoin, so it is no surprise that investors are choosing these levels to exit after the recent market dump. Additionally, smart money is also looking for liquidity at these levels, and the Solana price is prone to false breakouts due to this development. When it comes to trading Solana, the crypto analyst explains that investors must wait for one of two things to happen. Either there is a pullback in the Solana price and it falls toward a “confluence-rich support zone” or wait for a clean breakout above the resistance at $183, as well as a retest and confirmation. With the current trend, the analyst identified the two key zones for the Solana price now. The first lies at $179.85, which was recently tested, and then $180.52, which is yet to be tested. The latter, at $180.52, holds the key as a break above this level would be the confirmation needed for a strong bullish continuation. Solana Price Completes Elliot Wave Count Another interesting development for the Solana price that the crypto analyst points out is the fact that the altcoin has completed a 5-wave sequence. The Elliot Wave Theory comes in only five waves and with the completion, it could mean that the bull rally is over for the Solana price. The next thing that could happen from here is that the price continues to correct, before confirmation leads to a bullish continuation. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Targets $110,000 All-Time High After Consolidation Trend Ends The formation of the Fib Speed Fan pattern, as pointed out by the analyst, also suggests that the price could correct further from here. “The 0.618 Fib Speed Fan — drawn from the all-time high at $295.83 to the swing low at $95.26 — aligns perfectly with this resistance zone, adding more weight to the idea of a potential rejection or pause,” the analyst wrote. Given these developments, the crypto analyst has preferred possible entry points for long ad short positions. For bulls going long, the $165.42-$164.25 level could offer opportunity.

Solana is still facing a lot of resistance and it seems that the $200 target is getting harder to reach. This has been made harder by the bearish market winds, as well as declining participation from investors in online activities. As such, the Solana price is still struggling to stay above $150. However, given that there is starting to be a turn in the market sentiment toward the positive, the Solana price could be headed for a quick rebound. This is echoed by crypto analysts who have predicted that the altcoin still has room to run and one in particular suggests that new all-time highs are even possible. Why The Solana Price Is Turning Bullish Crypto analyst TradingShot has explained why the Solana price has been turning bullish recently. In a recent analysis, they explain that the rebound at the beginning of April has shown strength in the digital asset. This came as Solana bounced off the 1-Week MA200 at the start of last month, and this bullish start carried on to the end of the month.

This has set it on a path toward the next critical level, which lies at the 1-Week MA50 and follows the blue trend line at around $170, as shown in the chart below. This level is now the major point to break if Solana is to continue its bullish run in the month of May. The interesting thing about this level, as the crypto analyst explains, is that if the SOL price is able to surmount it, then it is expected to turn into support for the altcoin. Support at $170 would be quite bullish for the Solana price, serving as a possible bounce off point toward $200 once again. Targets From Here As stated above, the first thing is for the Solana price to actually test and break the blue trend line at $170. If this is successful and the bottom is in, then the next big target from here is the $350 level. The crypto analyst explains that this $350 target is the higher high of the wedge.

In a recent update on X, analyst GemXBT highlighted that Solana (SOL) is moving within a consolidation phase, with the price hovering near the $147 level. The pattern indicates that SOL is coiling up, potentially preparing for a significant move once a breakout occurs. This period of sideways trading isn’t without significance. Historically, such consolidation phases can act as a prelude to sharp breakouts or breakdowns. Traders are now closely watching for volume spikes or candlestick signals that could hint at the next major trend. Current Market Context: Why Solana Consolidation Matters GemXBT emphasized that key support lies below the current price, around the $146 level, which has acted as a crucial buffer, preventing further declines and helping to maintain short-term stability. On the upside, immediate resistance is forming near $150, a level that has previously halted bullish advances. This resistance zone is now being closely monitored, as a breakout above it could trigger a stronger upward push. Related Reading: Solana (SOL) Holding Strong Above $150 — Breakout Zone In Play GemXBT further elaborated on the technical indicators that support SOL’s current consolidation outlook. He noted that the Relative Strength Index (RSI) continues to hover in the neutral zone, reflecting the prevailing market indecision. This midpoint reading indicates that neither bullish nor bearish momentum is dominant at the moment, which aligns with Solana’s sideways price movement. The lack of an overbought or oversold signal suggests that a breakout in either direction is still on the table, making the coming sessions particularly crucial for confirming the next trend. In addition, GemXBT highlighted that the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) has recently formed a minor bearish crossover, which could be an early warning sign of building downward pressure. Although the signal isn’t strong enough to confirm a trend reversal yet, it does raise concerns, especially if the $147 support level fails to hold. The Battle Between Bulls And Bears Based on GemXBT analysis, as Solana continues to consolidate between the $146 and $150 range, the market is at a crucial indecision point. After breaking out of the zone between $146 and $150, the next resistance to watch is the $164 level. If buyers are able to push the price past this barrier, it could pave the way for a rally toward the $211 level and beyond, marking a significant shift in momentum and market sentiment.

In that case, lower support areas such as $137 and $118 would come into play quickly. With both Solana bulls and bears eyeing these pivotal levels, the next decisive move is likely to set the tone for SOL’s short-term trend. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com
