Solana - Current Technical LandscapeCurrent Technical Landscape
Key Support Zone - 20-day EMA (~$178.25): SOL is trading around $180, and a break below this level could lead to a decline towards $171.78. On the other hand, a bounce back would open the way to the $186.40 and $190.47 areas.
Short-Term Weakness and Cooling Activity: Despite growing by over 40% in July, there is now a decline in on-chain activity:
Active Addresses Down 16%
DeFi TVL Down 8%
This could increase bearish pressure in the short term.
Resistance on the 4-hour chart: According to Seeking Alpha, SOL faces strong resistance at the 20-EMA (~$164.78) and below the 50/100-EMA zones (between $170.73 and $174.14), while the downtrend remains dominant.

On our way to a new ATH for SOLUSD?This is a possible scenario idea I have in mind for SOLUSD that I want to share with everyone.
Keep in mind that this is not an advice to buy, it should be your decision to buy this specific asset.
There are 4 reasons I am thinking that we are (still) on our way to a new ATH for Solana and why I am extremely bullish on this specific crypto asset:
1. The orange man is pushing the FED for rate cuts for weeks: there already are some numbers (f.e. low inflation) out there that this might happen THIS week!
2. There is enough volume on 150$ & 170$ levels. We will are still on our way up!
3. The common crypto cycle is still happening: BTCUSD have bounced perfectly from the 112$k level and continued to move up, whales and other big guys are still buying BTCUSD at this time which is very bullish (another ATH is inevitable!) -> if the cycle repeats itself, BTCUSD will probably crash afterwards just like previous cycles -> this will be followed by a new ATH for ETHUSD -> after that, SOLUSD will be the next one to set a new ATH afterwards, just like back in Q4 2024 & Q1 2025. The higher ETHUSD will go the better it will be for alt coins like our baby Solana.
4. Solana is not even close to its former ATH: stepping in right now, will make larger profits later.
5. Last but not least: ETF approvals are still on the way!
The ATH I have in mind that will be set for Solana will be between 400$-600$ or with some luck, even higher.
Some people might not be happy in the way SOLUSD is performing right now, but I only learned one thing: that patience makes money when it comes to crypto. For everyone that is thinking about stepping in, I think there is still time to make profit from here on (but then again, of course at own risk, at all times!).
Another thing I want to add to this idea is to watch out for the first retracement/resistant level: this might be around 225$-234$ as shown in this Graph. Because there was more selling volume in Q1 2025 at that level.
Hope you liked my idea & graph about SOLUSD. Good day and happy trading everyone!
SOL/USD – Bullish Momentum Reemerges as Buyers Take ControlSolana (SOL) is showing signs of renewed bullish strength on the one-day chart, with momentum gradually shifting in favor of the bulls. A key indicator confirming this sentiment is the Balance of Power (BoP), which currently reads 0.57 – a positive figure suggesting that buyers are dominating price action.
The BoP, which ranges between -1 and +1, helps traders gauge the tug-of-war between buyers and sellers during a trading session. SOL’s positive BoP reading implies that price is consistently closing near the upper end of its daily range, a classic signal that buyers are asserting control.
With bulls regaining momentum and SOL continuing its upward trend, this recovery phase could evolve into a stronger rally if market conditions hold. Traders may want to monitor price action closely for confirmation of a sustained breakout.
Solana Surges, Yet Still Lags Behind LTCFenzoFx—Solana targeted the primary descending trendline after it broke the structure by closing above $164.5. While LTC, which is a cryptocurrency like Solana with a price range between $100.0 and $200.0, reached its previous monthly highs, Solana still lags behind.
Currently, SOL is testing the average volume weight at approximately $173.0, in conjunction with the primary descending trendline.
Forecast : With the primary support at $161.2, we expect SOL/USD to resume its uptick momentum. In this scenario, the price should target the order block with peak resistance at $182.6.
Solana (SOL): Bullish Continuation after Neckline BreakoutWhat I see:
Chart Patterns (Head and Shoulders): The chart illustrates a classic "Head and Shoulders" pattern. The left shoulder, head, and right shoulder are formed, and the neckline (the blue dashed line) has been broken, which suggests that the price could rise towards the target zone above the broken neckline.
Target Price: Based on the pattern and technical analysis, the potential target for the price could be around $219.84, as indicated by the box in the upper right corner. This target aligns with the upward trend continuation from the broken neckline.
Support Zones: There are several key support levels below the current price, including the lower zone marked in blue around $95.50 and the potential demand area in the middle blue zone (around $136.34). These could act as areas for price to rebound from if there's a pullback.
Trend Line and Movement: The dotted blue trend line suggests an ascending trend, showing higher lows, and the price is likely to continue upward after the recent breakout above the neckline.
Given the broken neckline and the formation of the Head and Shoulders pattern, the bullish scenario appears more likely. A price target of around $219.84 seems feasible if the upward momentum continues. However, if the price fails to hold above the neckline or reverses, the support zones could provide areas for potential price bounces, with the $136.34 region as a significant level to watch for possible buying opportunities. Therefore, the most probable outcome aligns with the bullish scenario (towards $219.84).
Solana Lags While LTC SurgesFenzoFx—Solan trades sideways, slightly above the previous day's high. Sol's price did not rise while other cryptocurrencies, such as LTC, had a significant surge in price this week. Therefore, we expect the price to rise, and we will be bullish on this cryptocurrency.
The immediate resistance is at $167.5. From a technical perspective, we expect a bullish move toward the previous day's high at $171.7 if this level breaks. If this scenario unfolds, we can market this level as a break of structure.
Please note that the bullish outlook should be invalidated if Solana falls below the previous day's low. If this scenario unfolds, the current bearish momentum will likely target $155.7.
SOLUSD Sell Limit ordersHi everyone.
I've set 3 orders to go short on Solana.
Please consider That if the second order triggered, Risk free the first order and If the third order triggered so you need to risk free the second order too...
These TP levels are based on Fib Levels. But if you want you can set the first TPs at 1:1RR for each order.
Let's see what happen.
Good luck everyone.

Solana looking bullish for a long trade.Solana has been trading in an ascending triangle since the top of the 2021 bull market. Ascending triangle is a bullish pattern. If Solana can close a few weekly candle and hold support at $250, it would be really bullish for Solana possibly head towards the $500-700 range.
Watch the stochastic RSI on the monthly closely, once it closes above the 20 level it will be bullish as momentum picks up, the last time it did this was in Jan 2023 than solan went from $8 to $295.
Happy Trading
Bullish but not bullish enough yet for a tradeMy overall bias for Solana is bullish. Currently I only own the underlying asset, but I have been waiting for the right set up to arrive to open a leveraged long position.
The way I am looking at the market right now:
Monthly chart:
In the last crypto cycle, Solana reached ATH in Nov 2021 and started to enter the macro bear trend. The price dropped sharply from $260 to $75 in the matter of three months. The price temporarily bounced up to $125 approx. (Red horizontal line in the chart) but it was a dead cat bounce. It failed to move above it and it was the beginning of the official bear market.
When you look at the price action of the last 18 months in a monthly chart, the price has been mostly moving between $125 and $205. However, the price wicked down to $96 in April this year. Since then the price is forming higher high higher low despite messy price action.
Both RSI and MACD are in the bull territory but they are slowly rolling to the downside. Stochastic on the other hand reached oversold territory and is now moving to the upside.
As long as RSI and MACD stay in the bull zone, the current price move is a corrective one.
Currently the price is sitting in the middle of the range bound of the last 18th months.
Weekly chart:
Price is trapped in the range bound and also is the ascending parallel channel.
EMA21 and 55 are bunched up together and running horizontally.
RSI is trapped in the 40-60 range and sliding across.
MACD is tilting to the upside but failed to enter the bull zone.
Stochastic is showing bearish negative divergence.
Base on all the indicators and price action in the weekly chart tell me the price is in a slow decline, but it is more like a tight sideway consolidation.
Daily chart:
EMA21> EMA 55> EMA200 - bullish but not perfect
EMA 200 is dead horizontal and a today's daily candle is sitting on EMA200.
MACD is entering the bear zone. MACD line is about to enter the bear zone. But the stochastic reached oversold territory and now is moving to the upside.
Conclusion:
My number one rule of trading is I stay away from trading when EMA200 is dead flat and the price is oscillating around it. I have lost money numerous times by trying to guess which way the price will move. No point of front running when EMA200 is flat. The price will break out eventually but I need to wait for a clear direction to emerge.
As I wrote in my previous articles. I think the current price move is a corrective one. The price will eventually move to the upside but I have no idea when. What I am focusing on now is to watch where the price will retrace to before it takes off in the daily chart. It may not take off, so I just want to wait and see.
There are a few fair value gap in the Fib 0.618 and 0.786 zone (blue rectangular box) and it is also where the ascending trendline intersects. So it is possible for the price to move further down to that area.
SOL Institutional Capital Fuels Bull Run SpeculationSolana's Ascent: A Perfect Storm of Adoption and Institutional Capital Fuels Bull Run Speculation
A powerful and rare confluence of tangible real-world adoption, significant institutional investment, and bullish technical indicators is generating a palpable buzz around Solana (SOL). The high-performance blockchain, often touted as a leading "Ethereum killer," is experiencing a resurgence that has captured the market's attention. After a period of sideways consolidation, SOL has decisively broken through key psychological and technical price levels, igniting speculation that this may be the start of a sustained and powerful bull run.
The narrative driving this optimism is not based on fleeting hype but on two concrete, fundamental pillars. The first is the global shipment of Solana Mobile's second-generation smartphone, the "Seeker," a device engineered to onboard millions into the Web3 ecosystem by seamlessly integrating crypto into the user's daily life. The second is a powerful vote of confidence from the traditional finance world, where a growing number of publicly traded companies are aggressively accumulating SOL for their corporate treasuries, treating it as a strategic reserve asset. As these foundational tailwinds gather force, technical charts are beginning to align, suggesting that the path of least resistance for Solana's price may soon be sharply upward.
The Seeker Phone: Solana's Trojan Horse for Mass Adoption
Perhaps the most visible and innovative catalyst is the global rollout of the Seeker smartphone. Following up on its first-generation "Saga" device, Solana Mobile has initiated the shipment of tens of thousands of pre-ordered Seeker phones to a global audience. The market's reception has been nothing short of explosive, with pre-orders soaring past 150,000 units—a dramatic increase from the 20,000 total sales of its predecessor. This overwhelming demand underscores a pent-up desire for a mobile-native Web3 experience.
But the Seeker is far more than just a piece of hardware; it represents a strategic masterstroke to solve the persistent problem of user experience in the crypto space. For years, interacting with decentralized applications (dApps) on mobile has been a clunky, insecure, and fragmented process, creating a high barrier to entry for the average consumer. The Seeker directly addresses these pain points. It features a built-in crypto wallet and a hardware-isolated "Seed Vault," which secures a user's private keys in a protected environment within the phone, drastically enhancing security and simplifying transactions.
This mobile-first approach creates a powerful economic flywheel. Priced accessibly, the phone is projected to generate substantial revenue for Solana Mobile. However, its true value lies in its ability to foster a vibrant, self-sustaining ecosystem. Each device includes a "Genesis NFT," a digital key that unlocks exclusive airdrops, rewards, and early access to new applications. This model, which proved incredibly successful with the Saga phone and the famous BONK memecoin airdrop, gamifies participation and incentivizes users to actively explore and engage with the Solana network. It transforms the phone from a passive communication tool into an active portal for decentralized finance (DeFi), NFT marketplaces, and Web3 gaming.
Furthermore, the Seeker boasts its own decentralized dApp store, presenting a direct challenge to the incumbent duopoly of Apple and Google. By offering developers a platform with lower fees and fewer restrictions, Solana is cultivating an environment where innovation can flourish. This attracts builders to the ecosystem, leading to a richer and more diverse array of applications, which in turn attracts more users. The Seeker phone, therefore, is not just a product—it's a Trojan Horse designed to embed the Solana network into the fabric of daily life, driving network utility, transaction volume, and ultimately, sustained demand for the SOL token.
The Institutional Stampede: Big Money Places Its Bet on Solana
While the Seeker phone provides a compelling grassroots adoption narrative, it is the concurrent wave of institutional investment that adds a powerful layer of validation and financial firepower. A growing cohort of publicly traded companies is now strategically adding SOL to their corporate treasuries, signaling deep-seated, long-term confidence in the network's technology and economic potential. This trend moves Solana beyond the realm of speculative trading and into the domain of strategic corporate finance.
Leading this charge is DeFi Development Corp (DFDV), a firm that has made headlines with its aggressive accumulation strategy. The company recently purchased an additional 110,466 SOL, bringing its total holdings to a staggering 1.29 million SOL. This move is part of a publicly stated ambition to hold one SOL per outstanding company share by 2028, a strategy explicitly modeled after MicroStrategy's high-conviction Bitcoin treasury plan. By securing a multi-billion dollar line of credit for these purchases, DeFi Dev Corp is making a clear and unequivocal bet on Solana's future.
This institutional embrace extends beyond a single entity. Upexi Inc., a consumer brand holding company, has significantly increased its SOL holdings and secured a $500 million credit line for further acquisitions. Bit Mining, a prominent player in the digital asset mining space, has not only purchased millions of dollars worth of SOL but has also launched its first Solana validator, contributing directly to the network's security and decentralization. Perhaps most surprisingly, Artelo Biosciences, a Nasdaq-listed pharmaceutical company, has pivoted to include SOL in its treasury, becoming the first public pharma firm to adopt a digital asset as a reserve.
These companies are drawn to Solana for its unique combination of high throughput, low transaction costs, and yield-bearing potential. The network's ability to process thousands of transactions per second at a fraction of a penny makes it a viable platform for enterprise-grade applications. Furthermore, the ability to stake SOL and earn a consistent annual yield of 7-8% presents a compelling alternative to holding depreciating fiat currencies or low-yield government bonds. This makes SOL an attractive treasury asset that can both appreciate in value and generate a recurring revenue stream. This institutional inflow provides robust price support and has an outsized market impact, as it effectively removes large quantities of SOL from the circulating supply, creating a potential supply shock as demand continues to grow.
Coiling for a Breakout: A Technical Perspective
This potent mix of fundamental catalysts is vividly reflected in Solana's price chart, which shows the asset coiling for a potentially explosive move. After establishing a solid foundation of support, SOL has demonstrated significant strength by breaking through the crucial $160 and $162 levels. The price is now trading firmly above its 100-hourly simple moving average, a key indicator that traders use to gauge short-term trend momentum. A price holding above this moving average is generally considered a sign of bullish health.
Currently, a key bullish trend line has formed on the hourly chart, with immediate and strong support located at the $165 mark. This level now acts as the first line of defense for the bulls; as long as the price remains above it, the upward trajectory is considered intact. However, the path higher is not without obstacles. The first major test awaits at the $172 resistance zone. A decisive and high-volume break above this level would signal that buyers are in firm control and could trigger a cascade of further buying.
Should the bulls conquer $172, the next significant hurdle lies near the $180-$182 range. Overcoming this area would open the door to a more sustained rally, with analysts eyeing subsequent targets at $192 and the psychologically important $200 level. While these technical levels present challenges, the underlying momentum indicators are encouraging. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is showing bullish acceleration, and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is holding strong above the 50 midpoint, indicating that buying pressure is outweighing selling pressure.
Of course, no market moves in a straight line. A failure to break the $172 resistance could lead to a temporary pullback. If the $165 support level were to fail, the next support zones would be found near $160 and $155. A break below these levels could signal a short-term bearish reversal and would invalidate the immediate bullish thesis. However, given the powerful fundamental drivers at play, many analysts believe that any such dips would likely be viewed as buying opportunities.
The Verdict: Is This the Definitive Catalyst?
Solana currently finds itself in an exceptionally strong position. It is one of the few blockchain projects that can boast a clear, tangible strategy for mass adoption through its mobile initiatives. The Seeker phone is a game-changer, providing a seamless on-ramp to Web3 that could onboard a new generation of users.
This powerful fundamental narrative is being amplified and validated by a wave of institutional capital. The strategic accumulation of SOL by public companies lends the asset a new level of legitimacy and provides a powerful source of demand that is unlikely to waver based on short-term market fluctuations.
When these two forces are combined with a bullish technical structure, the result is a perfect storm of positive catalysts. While the broader crypto market will always be subject to macroeconomic factors and regulatory shifts, Solana has carved out a uniquely compelling growth story. The immediate challenge is for the bulls to maintain their momentum and decisively break through the upcoming resistance zones. If they succeed, this confluence of events may very well be remembered as the definitive catalyst that propelled Solana into its next major bull run, solidifying its position not just as a competitor, but as a leader in the new digital economy.
Bulls will be disappointed - Weekly Update August 5-11thSolana appears to be in the final leg of a complex corrective structure. According to the current Elliott Wave count, the larger cycle degree is unfolding in a downward wave c, while the primary degree is in an upward wave B, subdividing into intermediate wave C, which itself is in minor wave C—now developing.
The corrective decline from the July high has retraced toward the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level (~$157) of the prior move, marking a typical zone for the end of Wave B within a flat or zig-zag formation. From this low, Solana has begun to push higher, indicating the likely beginning of Wave C to the upside. Based on Fibonacci extensions, the potential target zone for this move lies between $236 (1.0 extension) and $254 (1.236 extension).
From a market structure perspective, funding rates across major perpetual futures markets for SOL remain slightly negative or neutral, indicating that the majority of traders are not aggressively long at this stage. This often provides a more stable environment for an upward move, as it suggests the absence of overcrowded long positions that could lead to sharp liquidations. For reference, data from Velo (as of August 5) shows funding on Binance SOLUSDT Perpetual at 6.07%, confirming this neutral-to-slightly-bearish bias in funding.
Additionally, open interest has been neutral since the local low around $157. This is visible on futures data platforms such as Velo.xyz.
However, the liquidity heatmap does not currently support a strong magnet effect toward the $236–$254 zone. There is no significant cluster of stop liquidity or resting orders above $230 that would attract price purely through liquidation mechanics. In contrast, notable liquidity still resides below current levels, making the setup more technically driven than structurally supported by liquidity.
Given these conditions, the case for a C-wave rally remains technically intact, but traders should be cautious: the absence of upper-side liquidity and the corrective macro context imply that this move, even if successful, is likely a countertrend rally within a broader bearish cycle structure.
In conclusion, as long as price holds above the $157–$166 support zone and maintains impulsive structure on lower timeframes, the outlook remains short- to mid-term bullish toward the $236–$254 area. Yet, any breakdown below $157 would invalidate this wave count and suggest that Cycle Wave c may already be resuming to the downside.

SOL 15m Ready to Rumble? Possible Double Setup!Two decent setups on Solana’s 15m, one bounce play off key support, the other a breakout rip targeting quant resistance.
Setup #1 — Mean Reversion Long:
• Entry: 161 to 162
• Stop: 158.78 (sits on quant S1 = 158.67)
• Target: 166.62
• R/R: 2.4x
This setup rides the bounce from support that matches pivot S1. Confirm with candle wick + volume punch.
Setup #2 — Breakout Continuation:
• Entry: Above 166.62
• Stop: 164 (tight) or 154.86 (sits above quant S2 = 153.41)
• Target 1: 171.38 (just under quant R1 = 172.46)
• Target 2: 180.99 (quant R2 if price rips)
• R/R: 1.6x to 3.4x
Break needs volume. R1 is the battlefield. If we nuke through, R2’s next.
Quant Levels to monitor:
• Support:
S1 = 158.67
S2 = 153.41
• Resistance:
R1 = 172.46
R2 = 180.99
R3 = 186.25
Daily ATR ~11 pts — volatility is favorable
Structure and confluence are clean. Execution depends on price confirmation.
Still bullish My overall bias for Solana is bullish.
It has been a difficult asset to trade, however, I can still see bullish momentum is building up in higher time frames:
Weekly:
1) MACD line (faster line) has finally entered the bull zone since it dropped to $95 on April 25.
2) RSI line (orange one) has entered the bull zone.
3) EMA 5 > EMA21> EMA 55
Daily:
1) EMA 21> EMA55> EMA200
2) MACD lines are still in the bull zone.
3) Stochastic has reached the oversold territory and crossed to the upside.
4) The price is still forming higher high higher low above the ascending trendline.
5) The price has retraced to Fib 0.618 and now it is bouncing up.
6) The daily candle on 2n August closed at Fib 0.618 and yesterday's candle closed above both EMA55 and 200.
As I mentioned in my previous articles, when EMA55 crosses above EMA200, the price often retraces significantly before it starts to move to the upside. So I was prepared for the price to drop to Fib 0.382, 0.5, 0.618 or 0.786. At the moment, Fib 0.618 seems to be working as the lines of support.
The current price action looks good for the bull, however, $185-200 zone has been a very tough area to break. Therefore, I am prepared for a few scenarios:
Scenario 1: The price will move to Fib 0236 zone at $188 area. It fails to break above and drops to retest either the ascending trendline or wicks down to Fib 0.786/$143 area.
Scenario 2: The price will move to Fib 0.236 zone, consolidates in the area and moves up.
Scenario 3: It fails to move above Fib 0.236 level, drops below the ascending trendline and Fib 0.786. If it happens, I need to re assess my bullish bias.
Solana — Buy Now or Wait for a Pullback to Channel Support?Overview:
The COINBASE:SOLUSD price is moving within a steady ascending channel. Currently, the asset is near the midline, and the trader faces a choice:
📌 Enter a long position now or
📌 Wait for a pullback to the lower channel boundary (~150–153) for a more optimal entry point.
Technical Setup:
• 🔵 Ascending channel has held since April.
• 🔴 Price is near the lower Bollinger Band.
• 🧭 Stochastic oscillator is in the overbought zone, but may indicate a reversal impulse.
Scenario 1 — Long from current levels:
• Entry: 163–164
• Stop: below 157
• Target: 180 / 200+
Scenario 2 — Wait for pullback:
• Entry: 150–152 (near channel support)
• Stop: <147
• Target: 170 / 190+
📌 The decision depends on your patience and strategy:
— Don’t want to miss the move? Consider partial entry now.
— Prefer a better risk/reward ratio? Wait for the dip.
Solana definition of movementSOL is in a squeeze phase: the price is holding above $163, but meets resistance around $183-186. Indicators show neutral, slightly weak momentum. A break above $186 with increasing volumes will open up potential at $190+; a break below $178 will lead to a deeper correction to $171-170. Until then, it is worth watching the 20-d EMA hold and reactions to it.
