SOLANA (SOL): Wave 5 awaits – upward momentum or bear trap?SOLANA (SOL): Wave 5 awaits – upward momentum or bear trap? Weekly Scenarios Bullish scenario: Price holds the ~$185-190 zone, breaks resistance at ~$260 → wave 5 starts up, target is approximately ~$300+. Consolidation: Price moves in the ~$185-260 range without a significant breakout; energy is accumulating, waiting for a signal. Bearish scenario: Break of support at ~$185 with volume → confirmation of the start of wave C correction → possible decline to ~$150-160. ✅ Conclusion On the weekly timeframe, SOL is at a crossroads: If it holds above ~$185 and manages to break ~$260, the chance of a strong rally increases. If support fails to hold, the risk of a correction remains. Traders should watch for price reaction on levels, volume, and confirmation of wave structure before taking a position.

Is A Bullish Crossover Next For Solana Price?Solana’s price stands at $187 at the time of writing, holding firm above the $183 support level. The altcoin remains range-bound, struggling to break through the key $192 resistance. However, price stability above support suggests growing resilience in the face of selling pressure. If Solana’s bullish indicators gain traction, the price could climb past $192 and target $200 or higher. Strengthening support levels combined with improving investor sentiment could help SOL establish a sustainable uptrend. Conversely, if momentum fails to build, Solana may drop below $183 to test $175. A further decline could extend losses toward $163. This would effectively invalidating the bullish outlook and signaling continued market weakness.

Solana Price May Have A Shot At $250, But Caution AdvisedAt the time of writing, Solana’s price stands at $184, holding above the crucial $183 support. The altcoin appears to be forming a flag pattern, a technical setup often associated with bullish breakouts. However, confirmation will depend on volume strength and investor conviction. Following the recent crash, SOL briefly dropped out of this pattern before testing and validating it again. For a clear breakout, Solana needs to bounce off the lower trendline or move past $192. Failure to sustain buying pressure could drive the token below $175, potentially falling to $163, invalidating the bullish pattern. Conversely, if Solana breaches $192, it could surpass $200, a key psychological barrier. Breaking out from the pattern could ignite renewed momentum, setting the stage for a potential surge toward $250. Nevertheless, investors and traders should proceed with caution given the current market fragility.

Another Friday crush?? Price action is extremely bearish.   I can see the same price action of the last Friday is unfolding in 1H chart. When I analyse a chart, I use trendl ines, Fib retracement, EMAs, and momentum indicators.    But when the action is so volatile and I feel like I no longer know what the hell is going on,  I remove all the indicators and look for clear liquidity zone in higher time frames: Where did the price move up too quickly and left unfilled buy orders, and when did the price drop too quickly and left unfilled well orders?  The problem of Solana is the price has moved down and moved up way to fast at the end of last bull cycle and in the beginning of this bull cycle. Solana price fell from $250 to $82 in two months at the end of 2021.  And after the bull trap in March 2023, the price again fell rapidly from $140 to $36 in two months.  After the spectacular fall, Solana spent 16 months basing between 8 and 46 for 16 months.   However, when it started to move up in October, it went up too quickly again. It moved from $22 to $200 in 6 months.      The past 18months, Solana spent most of the time in the range bound between  $126 and $260, satisfying both buying and selling demands.  The price can eventually go up, but I see lots of downwards pressures in every time frame:    Monthly:  Large unmitigated fair value gap between $45 and $80.   Price is trapped inside the descending wedge pattern.  It is a bullish pattern.   However, if the price does not break and close above the descending resistance line, the price is likely to move to the downside.  Momentum indicators are also in the bull zone.  However, RSI and MACD are starting to move to the downside.  It makes me think the price correction is happening. It is a monthly chart, so it won't resolve quickly. Weekly: I can see a diamond pattern.  The price is trapped in the shape of the diamond.   It is usually a bearish pattern.    The price was moving up strongly along the ascending support line (purple line).   However, the last Friday's crush went down to sweep the liquidity (orange rectangular box) and I can see two more fair value gaps sitting below it.  All weekly momentum indicators are still in the bull zone, however, RSI lines and Stochastic lines are now crossed to the downside.  MACD lines are very close to cross as well.   Daily: The price is still above EMA 200 and also above the support line, however, EMA 55 is about to cross over EMA 12 and 21.  Yesterday's candle retested EMA 12/21/55 and closed below it.      MACD are deeply in the bear zone and has no sign of recovery. RSI and Stochastics are reset to move to the downside.   1H: EMA12/21/55/200 are perfectly lined up for the bear move.  Before last Friday's crush,  the price held above $217 for a few days, but it eventually capitulated.  I can see the same set up unfolding.   And it is Friday again.   There is an unmitigated fair value gap in the $212-218 zone (immediate one) , so the price can move up there to fake out and move down.     I have no idea what the market will do. I can see in a daily chart the price is moving inside the descending parallel channel. So if the price can hold above the purple ascending trend line, it might recover from there.   It is a very difficult market. When you have a strong bias, you will always find what you want to see. I have to pay attention to what the price is doing and hopefully react to it correctly. Good luck.

The second attempt to complete a massive cup and handle ?Solana is forming a massive cup and handle in the daily chart.   In early November, Solana finally broke above the resistance line and (temporarily) completed the cup and handle pattern.    It is only the speculation, but if we did not have the US tariff drama, Solana (and the rest of the market) would have started a strong bull cycle.    In August 2025, the price finally broke above the resistance line again.  It looked like the price was going to finally start to move to the upside.  Then, we experienced another crypto bloodbath due to the US-China tariff issue last Friday. I have no idea how the next few weeks will unfold, but at this stage, the price managed to stay above the support line and it is recovering. I already hold Solana positive for long term investment, but I intend to open a swing trade position when: 1. Daily RSI lines cross to the upside and break above the descending resistance line.  2. Stochastic move to the 50 zone. 3. MACD lines can stay in the bear zone, but the lines needs to cross and tilt to the upside.

DO NOT BUY THE DIP! Watch what Nasdaq is doing. My overall bias for Solana is bullish, but right now the trend is very bearish.   I don't think it is the time to buy the dip and I think more aggressive downside move is possible.  I have listed the reasons for my views below: Nasdaq chart: 1) The correlation between Bitcoin and Nasdaq has been very high.      Nasdaq has been going up since April 2025 without any decent correction and this week's candle finally formed a clear bearish engulfing candle.  2) Daily RSI and Stochastic have formed clear negative divergence and they are rolling to the downside.  Bitcoin chart: 1) RSI in both monthly and weekly charts show clear negative divergence.   2) The price failed to break above the major ascending resistance line and started to drop aggressively. Solana chart: Solana follows Bitcoin and Solana's move is much more aggressive than that of Bitcoin.   Based on the moves of Nasdaq and Bitcoin,  I am anticipating Solana will continue to drop further.  Temporary recovery might be possible but I need to wait and see how Nasdaq moves this week.   Solana weekly chart:  The price is moving inside the parallel channel for the last 5 years.     The price started to move in Oct 2023 and reached $204 at Fib 0.786 level in March 2024.  However, since then the price has been basically moving sideways.       I have been using the three ascending trend lines in the weekly chart along with momentum indicators as rough guides to understand the price action. The price moved up to the top of the green trend line, failed to break above and now is heading down to the purple trend line.    RSI also rolled to the downside.  Stochastic formed negative divergence.   Solana daily chart:  Friday's daily candle formed a massive bottom wick. (see the yellow rectangular box in the daily chart).    In regard to a long wick, I found on many occasions if the price doesn't immediately start to move above the closing price in the following day, the length of the wick becomes the range where the price oscillates for a while and often it moves further to the downside.     Therefore, I am closely watching the price move in shorter time frames such as 15 min and 1H.    Conclusions: Given all the positive developments happening in the Solana ecosystem, it is very hard to accept the current price action.   However, as a technical trader, I need to respect what the price is telling me and it is clearly bearish.    I am not shorting Solana: I am waiting for the signs of recovery.    Three blue rectangular boxes in the weekly chart are unmitigated fair value gaps and I have set the buy orders in these zones.     It is difficult to think the price will come down to the bottom blue box, however, if there is a massive capitulation event, it is possible for the price to wick down to that level. I hope you are all doing well. It is a challenging market.

DO NOT BUY THE DIP!! It can go lower. My overall bias for Solana is bullish, but I must say it has been very frustrating asset to hold and trade for the last 18 months.  There are a lot of positive news coming up in the Solana ecosystem and the value of Solana should be much higher than the current price.  However,  the current chart set up is very bearish and I think it can potentially go lower.  I will happily revise my view when the situation changes but I won't be buying the dip for the reasons below: Weekly: Stochastic indicator has formed a very clear negative divergence.  RSI lines have crossed to the downside and breached below the ascending trendline.  MACD histogram is losing bullish momentum and lines are about to cross (not confirmed) The price has failed to go above not only the previous higher high, but also the previous cycle's all time high.   The price has breached below the ascending trendline, EMA 12 and EMA 21. (no confirmed until the end of tomorrow) There is an unmitigated fair value gap (order block?) around  $100 and $123 area  (see light blue rectangular block).  That is the April low when the market started to have a V-shape recovery.    I have been hearing over and over in the mainstream media that  at the market bottom in April 2025, retail investors went in and bought the dip, but institutional players missed the rally by  staying on the sideline.   I am just wondering if big players are trying to push the price to the level where they were initially left behind.  It is just my speculation, but the price is getting closer to that level.  Daily:  A daily candle closed below EMA55 and is now hovering over EMA200. The price broke below the first ascending trendline (red line) and now moving toward the second one (black one) All three momentum indicators have decisively entered the bear zone.   Conclusions: I will only focus on daily and weekly charts for now.     I have been watching the price move in the lower time frames and the price is refusing to go above yesterday's closing price, which makes me think there are lots of selling pressures still.   Good luck, everyone. I hope you are doing ok in this wild market.

Solana Price’s 4-Month Uptrend Is Intact, But It May Not Last LoAt press time, Solana trades at $222, hovering just above the $221 support level. The altcoin has been in a consistent upward trend for the past three and a half months, making this level crucial for maintaining market structure. Given current conditions, a dip to $213 seems likely if selling pressure increases. Stronger outflows could accelerate losses, pushing SOL to test the $200 level and breaking its multi-month uptrend. Conversely, if Solana rebounds from $221 and market sentiment improves, it could climb toward $232 and beyond. Such a move would invalidate the bearish outlook and potentially reignite the rally.

Why Solana Could Surpass $300 in 2025–2026Hey guys, today I want to share my full view on Solana (SOL) . For a long time, my main focus as an investor and trader was always on Bitcoin and Ethereum. But in the last 12 months, I started massively investing into Solana. The reason is simple: the ecosystem is not only recovering from its darkest days but is now proving real resilience, adoption, and growth. When FTX collapsed in November 2022, Solana took one of the hardest hits. FTX and Alameda were among the biggest backers of the Solana ecosystem. When they went bankrupt, SOL crashed under $12 and many people stopped believing in its future. The market saw Solana as “FTX’s chain.” But fast forward to today, and we are witnessing a complete turnaround. Users are coming back, new protocols are being launched, and on-chain activity is stronger than ever. In our crypto prop trading company , we’re building new infrastructure for our traders, and after careful research, we chose Solana as the best chain for implementation . Its speed, scalability, and near-zero fees make it the most practical blockchain to build on. And it’s not just us — many other companies and institutions are starting to integrate with Solana, which will bring even more growth in the months ahead. ⚠️ Quick disclaimer: This is not financial advice — only my humble opinion based on research, analysis, and experience. Solana Price Action & Key Events (2022–2025) To understand Solana’s current position, let’s look back at its journey over the last few years: Bridge Breach (Feb 2022): The Wormhole bridge hack stole ~$325M, hurting trust in Solana DeFi. DeFi Winter (May 2022): The Terra UST/LUNA collapse triggered a full liquidity crisis across all DeFi. Solana’s TVL drained fast. FTX Implosion (Nov 2022): The turning point. FTX and Alameda went bankrupt, SOL crashed under $12, and the bear market bottom was defined. Meme Season (Early 2024): Retail users came back with BONK and other meme coins. Solana’s speed and low fees made it the perfect hub for speculation. WIF Mania (Spring 2024): Dogwifhat (WIF) went viral, volumes on Solana even surpassed Ethereum at times. Pump.fun Frenzy (Apr 2024): Millions of tokens launched through Pump.fun, onboarding hundreds of thousands of wallets and driving record on-chain activity. Full Recovery (2025): After two years of stagnation, SOL broke above $200 again, fully recovering to pre-FTX levels and proving that it can thrive as a community-driven, retail-driven chain. Solana On-Chain TVL (Total Value Locked) TVL (Total Value Locked) shows how much capital is locked in DeFi protocols on Solana — lending, staking, DEXes, and yield farming. 2021–2022: First boom, TVL surged past $10B. 2022–2023: Collapse after Terra and FTX, TVL fell close to zero. 2024–2025: Strong recovery — TVL passed $9–10B again, showing users are back and Solana DeFi is alive. Why this matters: TVL growth proves Solana is not only about meme coins. Capital and liquidity are returning, and users are once again trusting the chain with real money. Solana DEX Volume & Pump.fun Impact In just one day, DEXs on Solana processed $10.3B in trading volume. Pump.fun alone made up ~80% of that ($7.93B). Pump.fun is unique because it allowed anyone to instantly create and trade tokens, onboarding massive numbers of new users. At its peak, Pump.fun had over 400,000 weekly active addresses , and even today it still makes up around 10% of all Solana DEX activity . This shows two things: Solana is the clear leader in retail-driven trading. The ecosystem still needs broader use cases to sustain growth once meme speculation slows. Futures Open Interest – Market Confidence Open interest (OI) in Solana futures collapsed after FTX, but in 2024–2025 it came roaring back, growing alongside SOL’s price. Positive: Rising OI shows traders trust Solana again, and rallies are backed by real activity. Risk: Very high OI means higher liquidation risk. If markets turn, leveraged positions could cause sharp corrections. Pump.fun Traders Data – Not Everyone Wins According to Dune Analytics, 99.6% of Pump.fun traders never made more than $10K in realized profits . Only a small fraction hit big wins, while most made little or lost money. This highlights the gambling-style nature of meme trading: it drives huge network activity but is not sustainable long-term. For Solana, the key is converting this short-term hype into long-term adoption. Why Solana Could Rise in Late 2025–2026 Looking forward, here are the main reasons I believe Solana has strong upside potential: 1. Tokenization Boom By 2033, $20T in assets could be tokenized. Solana has the scalability, low fees, and adoption needed to be the leading infrastructure. 2. On-Chain Usage Solana already surpasses Ethereum in active addresses and transactions (100M monthly users, 3.5B monthly txs). More usage → more fees → higher staking yield → stronger SOL demand. 3. Institutional Adoption Major players like BlackRock, Franklin Templeton, Visa, and PayPal are already launching tokenized products or stablecoin integrations on Solana. 4. Ecosystem Growth Solana dominates in trading, token creation (60% of new tokens), and new sectors like AI agents. From Pump.fun (retail) to xStocks and OnRe.finance (institutional), Solana is proving versatile. 5. Technology Roadmap With Firedancer and other upgrades, Solana is moving toward 100k–1M TPS capacity, making it “internet-scale finance.” 6. Investment Case SOL is scarce (~750M fixed supply), yield-bearing (7–13% staking), and directly tied to network growth. Analysts project potential 4x–30x appreciation (short-term ~$900, medium ~$2,000, long-term ~$6,000). Outlook – Target $300+ If 2022–2023 was about survival, and 2024–2025 was about recovery, then 2026 could be Solana’s breakout moment as the backbone of digital finance. With on-chain activity at record highs, institutional adoption growing, and scalability improvements rolling out, a move above $300 in late 2025 or 2026 is not only possible but realistic.

Solana Price Struggles as Crucial Holders’ Sentiment SplitsSolana is trading at $209, holding above the $206 support level and testing its uptrend line. The steady recovery underscores investor commitment to maintaining bullish momentum after brief interruptions caused by increased selling pressure from LTHs. The mildly bullish outlook could extend Solana’s rally. If momentum holds, SOL could climb past $214 and $221 resistance levels. A push beyond those thresholds would open the path to $232, reinforcing optimism about further gains in the coming weeks. However, if selling pressure from long-term holders intensifies, Solana risks slipping below $206. A drop to $200 would invalidate the bullish thesis, signaling weakness and potentially sparking renewed bearish sentiment in the altcoin’s market structure.

Solana Weekly Forecast and ScenariosWeekly Forecast and Scenarios Bullish scenario: SOL holds support near $200–$210 and breaks through the $245–$250 zone, leading to a directional move toward $270 and beyond (even to $300). Consolidation: The price may fluctuate within the $200–$245 range, awaiting volume and news, without a clear trend. Bearish scenario: A breakout from the support range (below ~$188–$200) could lead to a pullback to lower levels of $170–$180.

Solana: Target Zone in FocusSOL has dropped more than 20% from last Thursday’s high. In light of this, we now believe that last week’s high—reached on Thursday—marked the top of wave i in orange, and that price is currently undergoing a wave ii corrective phase. This correction should play out as a downward, three-part move labeled - - in green, ultimately targeting our orange zone between $155.80 and $113.20. We expect the low of this wave ii to occur within that Target Zone, which should set the stage for a bullish reversal. The following wave iii in orange is projected to push SOL to new all-time highs, breaking through resistance at $295.31.

Signal Breakout as SOL Targets ATH and $300+Solmate’s $300M Launch in the UAE Sparks Solana Treasury Wave: Institutions Signal Breakout as SOL Targets ATH and $300+ The Solana ecosystem is entering a critical new phase of institutional adoption and capital formation, with multiple catalysts converging to form one of the strongest bullish narratives in crypto today. The headline development: Solmate has launched with a $300 million mandate to establish a Solana-focused treasury in the United Arab Emirates. This move, paired with growing institutional interest, potential ETF approvals, and increasingly favorable technicals, has set the stage for a potential breakout rally. Some market participants now see a credible pathway to $300+ for SOL, while others point to new all-time highs as fundamentals and momentum align. This piece explores the strategic implications of Solmate’s treasury launch, the growing momentum behind Solana among institutions like Forward Industries, the macro tailwinds surrounding ETF approvals, and the technical structure that supports a bullish continuation. We’ll also assess the potential risks, the role of on-chain growth, and how the UAE’s regulatory and capital environment could accelerate Solana’s trajectory. Solmate’s $300M UAE Treasury: Why It Matters Solmate’s $300 million capital pool dedicated to establishing a Solana treasury in the UAE is more than a headline number—it’s a signal that institutional-grade asset management for crypto-native assets is globalizing beyond traditional finance hubs. The UAE, and particularly Abu Dhabi and Dubai, have positioned themselves as crypto-forward jurisdictions with clear regulatory sandboxes and proactive frameworks. Establishing a Solana treasury there creates: • A regional liquidity hub: Concentrating capital in a friendly regulatory environment can improve market depth for SOL and Solana-native assets during aggressive expansion phases. • Institutional standardization: A treasury framework can adopt disciplined risk controls, custody standards, and transparent rebalancing strategies, making it a template for other funds and corporates to emulate. • On-ramp for Middle Eastern capital: Sovereign wealth funds, family offices, and regional asset managers have shown interest in digital assets. A Solana-focused treasury in the UAE lowers friction for capital allocation. • Mechanics of a Solana Treasury Treasury operations are more than passive holdings. They typically involve: • Core SOL accumulation: A base allocation that reflects long-term conviction in network value capture, staking yields, and governance. • Liquidity provisioning: Deploying assets in DeFi protocols, AMMs, and order books to enhance liquidity and earn fees, subject to risk controls. • Staking strategies: Validator diversification, slashing protection, and yield optimization through auto-compounding and programmatic rebalancing. • Venture and ecosystem exposure: Strategic allocations to Solana-native projects, tokens, real-world asset (RWA) initiatives, and infrastructure plays (or via index-like baskets). • Hedging overlays: Options and perp hedges to manage drawdowns while maintaining directional exposure. By anchoring these flows in the UAE, Solmate not only signals conviction; it operationalizes a repeatable structure that can absorb larger institutional checks as compliance frameworks and counterparties mature. Forward Industries Bets Big on Solana Forward Industries’ publicized pivot toward SOL underscores a broader shift: institutions are no longer simply “diversifying” into Solana—they are actively rotating into it as a core position. The drivers include: • Performance-to-throughput ratio: Solana’s execution environment continues to deliver high throughput and sub-second finality with low fees, supporting consumer-grade applications such as payments, on-chain order books, and gaming without UX compromise. • DePIN, payments, and consumer apps: From real-time order execution to growth in tokenized assets and payments rails, Solana’s app layer is demonstrating product-market fit in areas where latency and cost matter. • Developer momentum: Tooling, runtimes, and TypeScript-centric development are attracting teams that want to ship quickly with rich UX. Growth in Saga and mobile-focused experiments adds tailwind. • Liquidity concentration: As more capital pools into SOL pairs and Solana’s native DEXs, slippage decreases and the market becomes more attractive for block-sized orders. The “buying frenzy” moniker stems from combined flows across centralized exchanges, on-chain wallets, staking platforms, and prime brokers. Institutional trade sizes are up, and block liquidity providers report rising interest for SOL borrow and cross-margin facilities—both signposts that levered directional exposure and basis trades are heating up. The ETF Wave: SEC Approvals Could Reshape Flows A critical macro catalyst is the likelihood of multiple ETF approvals in the coming months. While much of the focus has been on Bitcoin and Ethereum, the structural changes triggered by ETF adoption—standardized custody, audited NAV calculations, and regulated market-making—create spillover effects across large-cap crypto assets. Here’s why ETF approvals matter to Solana: • Legitimacy funnel: When institutions obtain board approvals for crypto exposure via ETFs, internal compliance friction declines. From there, investment committees often explore other large-cap crypto assets with similar liquidity and adoption—enter SOL. • Portfolio construction: Multi-asset crypto strategies reweight based on momentum, liquidity, and correlations. If BTC and ETH ETF flows stabilize, allocators often diversify into high-beta assets with compelling adoption narratives—again, SOL is a prime candidate. • Derivatives market deepening: ETF market-making expands basis, options, and hedging activity. Robust hedging tools lower the barrier to building large SOL positions. Even if a Solana ETF is not immediately approved, the institutional infrastructure and behavioral changes catalyzed by BTC/ETH ETFs provide a clear path for capital to migrate into SOL through other compliant vehicles. Technical Structure: SOL Aligns for a Breakout From a technical perspective, SOL’s setup reflects several bullish elements frequently observed in assets that break into new cyclical highs: • Higher lows and a strong weekly structure: Persistent higher lows on the weekly timeframe suggest bid support from larger accounts. Breakouts from multi-month accumulation ranges often lead to trend extensions. • Volume confirmation: Rising volume on up weeks and muted sell volume on retracements indicate absorption by patient buyers. This is often a hallmark of institutional accumulation. • Moving average alignment: When the 50-day and 200-day moving averages turn up in tandem and compress beneath price, they function as dynamic support. Golden cross conditions on high timeframes historically reinforce trend persistence. • Momentum oscillators: Constructive RSI behavior (staying in bullish regimes, respecting 50-55 on pullbacks) supports the case for sustained upside. MACD crossovers above the zero line add confirmation. • Market structure breaks: If SOL clears prior supply zones with strong breadth in Solana ecosystem tokens, it often precedes a sharp expansion leg. From a pure charting lens, the path to retest the all-time high (ATH) becomes plausible once prior resistance shelves are flipped to support with convincing retests. The next leg can extend if funding stays balanced and derivatives don’t overheat. Why $300+ Is on the Table Calling specific price targets in crypto is always probabilistic, but the $300+ scenario reflects a confluence of factors: • Elastic demand: As SOL regains narrative dominance, every incremental institutional participant must source supply in a relatively illiquid float, especially with high staking participation. This creates reflexivity: higher prices attract more attention and flows. • Ecosystem beta: When Solana majors rally, Solana ecosystem tokens and NFTs often follow, generating wealth effects that feedback into SOL via fees, staking, and treasury rebalancing. • On-chain revenues and usage: Fees and MEV-like revenue capture, combined with consistent L1 usage, differentiate SOL as more than a speculative token. If fee markets remain healthy without compromising UX, valuations can adjust quickly. • Capital markets maturity: Prime brokerage services, credit lines, and custodial lending for SOL increase leverage capacity for funds. Managed responsibly, this deepens liquidity and smooths volatility while supporting upside. • Institutional Signaling and Order Flow Dynamics Institutions leave footprints: • Options skew: A shift toward call dominance and tightening call spreads near key strikes suggests demand for upside exposure. Calendar spreads can hint at timing expectations around catalysts like ETF decisions or protocol upgrades. • Basis behavior: Persistent positive basis with manageable funding indicates steady demand for levered long exposure without frothy excess. Sharp basis expansions often precede blow-off tops, but controlled elevations are constructive. • Block trade prints: Larger fills on the offer with minimal price impact imply sophisticated execution algorithms are absorbing liquidity. VWAP-style participation in uptrends is a hallmark of fund flows. • Solana Fundamentals: Not Just Hype The bullish case is reinforced by fundamentals: • Throughput and reliability improvements: Ongoing client and scheduler upgrades have meaningfully reduced congestion and improved consistency, aligning the chain for mainstream-scale apps. • Developer ecosystem: Grants, hackathons, and venture inflows are driving an uptick in deployment across DeFi, DePIN, payments, and consumer social. More apps mean more transactions, fees, and network effects. • Staking and validator health: A broad validator set with improving decentralization metrics, plus liquid staking growth, provides both security and capital efficiency. Mature slashing protections and monitoring infrastructure reduce operational risk. • Cross-ecosystem bridges and RWAs: Safer bridging architectures and the growth of tokenized real-world assets on Solana expand the total addressable market and institutional relevance. The UAE Vector: Why Location Matters The decision to anchor a Solana treasury in the UAE amplifies several advantages: • Regulatory clarity: Entities can obtain approvals and operate with predictable oversight, facilitating custody, staking, and DeFi participation at institutional scale. • Geographic diversification: Reduces dependence on US and EU regulatory cycles, creating a global liquidity map that supports 24/7 markets. • Access to sovereign and family office capital: The region’s investor base is comfortable with alternative assets, infrastructure, and frontier technologies, making Solana’s high-throughput narrative particularly compelling. • Talent and infrastructure: The UAE’s growing fintech and crypto workforce supports operational resilience for treasury and market activities. Risk Factors and What Could Go Wrong No thesis is complete without acknowledging risk: • Regulatory shifts: Unexpected adverse rulings in key jurisdictions, or delays/denials around ETFs, could dampen flows and sentiment. • Network incidents: Performance degradation or security issues would hurt adoption narratives and compress multiples. • Liquidity shocks: If derivatives positioning becomes crowded, a deleveraging event could trigger cascading liquidations. Watch funding, OI, and CVI-like measures. • Macro correlation: A sharp risk-off in global markets—driven by rates, growth scares, or geopolitical events—can compress crypto valuations, including SOL, even amid strong fundamentals. • Competitive pressure: Advances from competing L1s or L2s, especially around modular architectures and data availability, could siphon developer and liquidity attention. Signals to Track in the Coming Months For investors and observers, keep an eye on: • ETF decision timelines: Not just for SOL, but for broader crypto products. Watch S-1 updates, surveillance-sharing agreements, and authorized participant rosters. • On-chain metrics: Daily active addresses, fee revenue, transaction success rates, and validator participation. Sustained growth here supports the fundamental re-rating. • Derivatives health: Funding rates, options IV, skew, and term structure. Healthy markets allow trends to persist without disorderly squeezes. • Treasury disclosures: Any public filings, attestations, or wallet monitoring from Solmate and similar entities. Evidence of steady accumulation bolsters the thesis. • Ecosystem catalysts: Major app launches, RWA integrations, payments partnerships, and mobile distribution wins (e.g., Saga ecosystem) that translate to real usage. Strategy Considerations for Different Participants • Long-only funds: Dollar-cost averaging with disciplined rebalancing can mitigate timing risk. Consider partial hedges around known catalysts to manage drawdowns. • Crypto-native funds: Use options to express directional views while capping tail risk. Calendar call spreads around ETF windows or ecosystem launches can be capital-efficient. • Corporates and treasuries: For those inspired by Solmate’s model, start with staking policies, custody/vendor selection, and risk dashboards. Establish governance before deploying into DeFi strategies. • Retail participants: Avoid over-leverage. Respect invalidation levels and maintain a cash buffer. Focus on time in market rather than perfect entries. • Why This Cycle Is Different for Solana Cycles rhyme, but specific drivers evolve. For SOL, three differentiators stand out: • Real usage at scale: Consumer-grade apps processing real volumes, with fee revenues that matter. • Institutional-grade infrastructure: Custody, staking-as-a-service, credit lines, and compliance tooling that make large allocations feasible. • Global capital alignment: The UAE initiative symbolizes a broader dispersion of crypto capital formation—less dependent on any single regulator or geography. The Road to ATH and Beyond Reclaiming all-time highs requires both narrative strength and structural support. Solana’s current setup has: • Narrative: High-throughput chain powering next-gen consumer and financial apps, now validated by serious capital allocators. • Structure: Disciplined treasury formation, institutional flows, deepening derivatives, and growing on-chain revenues. A move to fresh ATHs could unfold in stages: 1. Clearance of major resistance with rising spot volume 2. Healthy consolidation with elevated but not extreme funding 3. Fresh leg higher fueled by ecosystem beta and positive macro catalysts (ETF approvals, corporate adoption) 4. Volatility expansion near psychological round numbers, followed by a volatility contraction if treasuries and market makers absorb flows If these stages play out with controlled leverage and robust spot participation, the path toward $300+ becomes more than aspirational—it becomes a function of order flow and narrative reflexivity. Bottom Line • Solmate’s $300 million launch to build a Solana treasury in the UAE is a landmark institutional milestone that could catalyze regional and global capital into SOL and its ecosystem. • Institutional players like Forward Industries are signaling a pronounced shift toward Solana, reinforcing a buying frenzy dynamic supported by liquidity and execution improvements. • The likely approval of multiple crypto ETFs later this year is a macro tailwind that indirectly benefits SOL, even before any Solana-specific ETF comes to market. • Technicals align with fundamentals: higher lows, constructive volume, favorable moving averages, and bullish momentum patterns support the case for an ATH retest and potential breakout toward $300+. • Risks remain—regulatory, network, liquidity—but the balance of probabilities currently favors continued upside as on-chain usage, institutional infrastructure, and global capital alignment strengthen. As always, this is not financial advice. Markets are volatile, and conditions can change quickly. But with treasury formation ramping, institutional flows accelerating, and technicals confirming, Solana’s next chapter is setting up to be its most consequential yet. If the current trajectory holds—anchored by the UAE treasury initiative and sustained by institutional adoption—SOL’s bid for new all-time highs and beyond looks not just plausible, but increasingly likely.

Solana: Selling Pressure Hits 6-Month High as SOL Price Nears $2Currently, Solana trades at $235, sitting just 6% below the $250 milestone. Over the weekend, SOL attempted to reach this target but failed. However, it has managed to hold steady above the $232 support level. If bullish momentum continues, Solana could rebound from $232 and test resistance at $242. A successful breach, particularly if long-term holders slow their selling. This could push SOL toward reclaiming $250 in the near term. However, if selling pressure from long-term holders accelerates, Solana may struggle to defend $232 as support. This scenario could result in a correction toward $221, undermining bullish momentum and invalidating near-term upward projections.

SOLANA (SOL/USDT) – TP: 170 - 252 & 295SOLANA (SOL/USDT) is currently trading at $130.17 after rebounding from a well-defined sell-side liquidity zone between $98 and $131. The recent weekly candle shows a strong bullish recovery (+22.93%), suggesting that liquidity has been swept and buyers are stepping in. This level has historically served as a key accumulation zone, and the bounce aligns with oversold conditions on the StochRSI, which is now curling upward — indicating growing bullish momentum. If price sustains above the $125–131 level, the next immediate upside target lies between $170 and $188, where prior supply and consolidation occurred. A confirmed breakout above this range opens the path toward a higher resistance zone between $254 and $295 — a region that aligns with unfilled inefficiencies and previous price distribution. The ideal swing trade approach would be to enter on a pullback within the $110–125 range, set a stop loss below $98, and scale out at the $170 and $254 levels. This setup offers a favorable risk-to-reward ratio of approximately 1:3.5. Trade Strategy Suggestion (Swing or Positional): Entry: Ladder between $115–$125 on retrace SL: $105–110 (below wick low) TP1: $170–188 TP2: $254–295 Scaling Out: 50% at TG1, rest at TG2 or trail stops above $200 With macro tailwinds like renewed interest in Solana’s DeFi and meme coin ecosystems, institutional flow returning, and technical confirmation across multiple timeframes, this could be a high-conviction mid-term play for swing traders and positional investors alike. 🔮 Narrative & Fundamentals: ETH L2 congestion → SOL gets transactional inflows SOL’s DeFi, NFT, and memecoin activity resurging (e.g., SEED_WANDERIN_JIMZIP900:WIF , SEED_DONKEYDAN_MARKET_CAP:BONK ecosystem) Institutional flow picking up (Grayscale SOL trust rallying) SOL remains one of the fastest L1s with growing developer traction
