Sell at $333 - save this idea SOLUSD – Sell at $333 (Mid-Term Setup)
Overview
SOL is currently respecting a long-term ascending channel while trading below a major Fibonacci resistance zone. Price has repeatedly reacted from the rising support trendline, forming higher lows, which keeps the bullish structure intact — however, upside liquidity and resistance near $330–$340 makes this a high-probability sell zone.
Technical Confluence
🔹 Ascending Channel Support
Multiple clean reactions from the lower trendline (highlighted circles) confirm strong structural support.
🔹 Fibonacci Resistance Cluster
The 1.13–1.27 Fib extension zone ($300–$334) aligns with prior highs and acts as a major supply area.
🔹 Liquidity Target Above Highs
Price is likely to push higher first, sweep buy-side liquidity, and tap the $330–$340 zone before reacting.
🔹 Momentum Reset
RSI has room to expand upward before entering overbought, supporting one more push higher before rejection.
Trade Plan
Sell Zone: $330 – $335
Invalidation: Clean daily close above $350
Targets:
TP1: $240
TP2: $200
TP3: $160 (channel mid / Fib support)
Expectation
Price is expected to rally into resistance, complete a liquidity grab, then rotate lower back into the channel. This is a sell-the-rally setup, not a breakdown trade.
⚠️ This is a technical idea, not financial advice. Always manage risk.
SOL 1HR ROAD MAP We are seeing price between two weighted levels. We have 146 Goldturn resistance and 116 as Goldturn support.
We will see levels tested side by side until one of the weighted levels break and lock to confirm direction for the next range.
We will keep the above in mind when taking buys from dips. Our updated levels and weighted levels will allow us to track the movement down and then catch bounces up.This trade is expected to keep breaking highs which will later act as support for the next push up....Basically Break AND Retest structure all the way up....I will keep the chart updated if i see any signs of trend shift....

SOL/USD Selling Pressure StrengthensThe SOL/USD 30-minute chart shows a clear shift from bullish momentum into a bearish corrective phase. Price has broken below the rising trendline and is now trading under the Ichimoku cloud, indicating weakening buying strength. Multiple rejections near the descending resistance line suggest sellers are actively defending higher levels. The recent consolidation appears to be distribution before another downward move. Failure to reclaim the broken trendline increases the probability of further decline. Bearish momentum is gradually building, and continuation to the downside looks likely. As long as price remains below key resistance zones, sellers may push the market toward lower levels, targeting 141.00 initially, followed by deeper downside toward 139.45.

Solana's Price Action reflects some Short-Term AmbiguityPrice now appears to be operating within the b-wave portion of the corrective pattern. While I acknowledge we could see marginally lower prices from here, my base case remains that price recovers and continues to subdivide as depicted in my chart in the black pathway. What remains less clear is whether we are still subdividing to new local lows under the purple alternate, or if the retracement instead continues in a more standard fashion into my target box.
The uncertainty stems from the fact that SOL’s price never decisively traded above the $147–$148 region we have been monitoring for some time. That failure keeps the purple count viable.
However, what lends slightly more confidence to my black primary count over the purple alternate, specifically with respect to Solana, is Bitcoin. BTC has managed to trade above a level that can reasonably be interpreted as the wave iv of a lesser degree. If that interpretation proves correct, it becomes increasingly difficult to envision Bitcoin continuing its corrective advance without exerting upward influence on Solana as well.
As always, time and structure will resolve this short-term ambiguity.

Safe trading
SOLUSD – 1H | Rejection at Supply → Liquidity Sweep ScenarioSOL is currently trading within a **clear range**, reacting between a well-defined **premium supply zone** (red) and a **discount demand zone** (green). Price has been **failing to break and hold above supply**, showing repeated rejections and weakening bullish momentum.
On the 1H timeframe, we are seeing:
* Lower highs forming beneath resistance
* Price struggling to reclaim the supply zone
* Momentum shifting from impulsive bullish moves to corrective / choppy price action
This suggests **distribution near supply** rather than continuation.
---
### **Key Levels**
* **Supply / Resistance:** ~145.5 – 146.5
→ Strong reaction zone with multiple rejections
* **Current Price:** ~142
→ Mid-range / no-trade zone unless confirmation appears
* **Demand / Support:** ~135 – 136
→ High-probability liquidity & reaction area
---
### **Bias & Scenario**
My primary bias remains **bearish from supply** unless price **reclaims and holds above 146** with strong volume.
**Preferred Scenario (Red Path):**
1. Minor push or liquidity grab toward supply
2. Failure to break resistance
3. Expansion lower toward the **discount demand zone (~135)**
4. Potential bounce or accumulation from demand
This move would align with:
* Range trading behavior
* Liquidity sweep below equal lows
* Mean reversion from premium → discount
---
### **Invalidation**
* Clean **1H close above supply**
* Successful retest and continuation above 146
If that happens, bearish bias is invalidated and continuation setups become valid.
---
### **Execution Notes**
* Avoid chasing mid-range entries
* Shorts are only valid **after confirmation near supply**
* Longs are only attractive **at demand with reaction**
📌 **Patience is key — let price come to you.**

SOL - Descending Wedge Rejection at $145 | FVG Retest Incoming
What's up traders! 👋
SOLUSD is setting up for a key move. We've got a symmetrical wedge pattern with price respecting the descending resistance perfectly - hitting it and getting rejected. Let me break down what I'm seeing on the 45-minute chart.
The Setup
SOL is trading at $144.85 on the 45-minute timeframe. Price is inside a symmetrical wedge pattern - descending resistance on top (lower highs) and ascending support on bottom (higher lows). The key here: price just hit the descending resistance near $145-$147 and got REJECTED.
This is textbook wedge behavior. Price respects the trendlines until breakout. Right now, it's following the wedge DOWN toward the FVG zone.
Why I'm Leaning Bearish (Short-Term)
Price rejected from descending resistance at $147
Failed to clear $150 resistance - sellers defending
Dropped below $146 and $145 - now below 100-hour SMA
Hourly RSI below 50 - bearish momentum
MACD showing bearish pressure
Long/short ratio at 0.7569 - traders leaning short
$10.5M in liquidations - $7.7M were longs
3M performance: -20.40% | 1Y: -29.60% - macro downtrend
The Wedge Structure
DESCENDING RESISTANCE (Top): Lower highs forming - sellers capping rallies at $145-$147
ASCENDING SUPPORT (Bottom): Higher lows forming - buyers defending around $138-$140
CURRENT ACTION: Price hit descending resistance and rejected
FVG ZONE: $140-$142 is the next target for retest
TREND: Following the wedge DOWN until breakout
The News Context - January 16, 2026
Mixed signals but leaning bearish short-term:
SOL failed to hold above $146 - entered short-term correction
Price below 100-hour simple moving average
Broke below 61.8% Fib retracement of $138-$149 move
$10.5M liquidations - mostly longs ($7.7M)
Long/short ratio 0.7569 - traders positioning short
RSI below 50, MACD bearish
Bullish Catalysts (Watch For Breakout)
Solana ETF inflows $23.57M - highest in 4 weeks
Forward Industries building largest SOL treasury (6.9M SOL)
Alpenglow upgrade coming - transaction finality 100-150ms (from 12.8s)
RWA ecosystem hit $1.15B record valuation
Network processed $1.6T in 2025 trading volume
68M active addresses (up 14%) - most used network
Open Interest jumped from $6.8B to $8.8B
"Clarity Act" could ease SEC requirements for SOL
Key Levels I'm Watching
Resistance:
$145.50 - Day's high / immediate resistance
$146 - First major resistance
$148.29 - MAJOR RESISTANCE (breakout level)
$150 - Psychological round number
$155 - Next target if breakout
$162 - Extended bullish target
$200 - Analyst target (if network growth continues)
Support:
$144.85 - Current price
$141 - Bullish trendline support
$140-$142 - FVG ZONE (key retest target)
$140.23 - MAJOR SUPPORT (76.4% Fib)
$138 - Swing low
$137.72 - CHANNEL BOTTOM
$132 - Next support if breakdown
$124 - Extended bearish target
Two Scenarios
BEARISH CONTINUATION (PRIMARY):
Price continues following the descending wedge. After rejecting from $145-$147 resistance, SOL drops to retest the FVG zone at $140-$142. If FVG fails to hold, continuation to $137.72 channel bottom.
First target: $141 (trendline support)
Second target: $140.23 (major support / 76.4% Fib)
Extended target: $137.72 (channel bottom)
Breakdown target: $132, then $124
Triggers: Continued rejection at descending resistance, break below $140, risk-off sentiment, no major bullish catalyst.
BULLISH BREAKOUT (ALTERNATE):
Big news hits and price breaks above the descending wedge resistance. SOL clears $148.29 with volume and targets higher levels.
First target: $150 (psychological)
Second target: $155 (next resistance)
Extended target: $162, then $173
Moon target: $200 (if network growth accelerates)
Triggers: Break above $148.29 with volume, major ETF news, Alpenglow upgrade hype, institutional buying.
My Take - BEARISH BIAS (Short-Term)
I'm leaning BEARISH here. Here's why:
1. Price respecting descending resistance - SOL hit the wedge top at $147 and got rejected. This is textbook - follow the trend until breakout.
2. Technical indicators bearish - RSI below 50, MACD bearish, below 100-hour SMA. Momentum favors sellers.
3. Liquidation data bearish - $7.7M in long liquidations vs $2.8M shorts. Longs getting squeezed.
4. Long/short ratio bearish - At 0.7569, traders are positioning short. Smart money leaning bearish.
5. Macro structure weak - Down 20.40% in 3 months, down 29.60% in 1 year. Still well below $295 ATH.
BUT - Watch for the Breakout
The bullish catalysts are real:
ETF inflows strongest in 4 weeks
Alpenglow upgrade is massive (100ms finality)
Institutional adoption growing (Forward Industries)
Network fundamentals strong (68M addresses, $1.6T volume)
If big news hits, SOL could spike above $148.29 and invalidate the bearish thesis. But until that happens, I'm following the wedge DOWN.
Trade Plan
Bearish Entry (PRIMARY):
Entry: Rejection at $145-$146 resistance OR break below $141
Stop: Above $148.29 (above major resistance)
Target 1: $141 (trendline)
Target 2: $140.23 (major support)
Target 3: $137.72 (channel bottom)
R:R: ~1:2
Bullish Entry (if breakout):
Entry: Break above $148.29 with volume
Stop: Below $144
Target 1: $150 (psychological)
Target 2: $155
Target 3: $162
R:R: ~1:2.5
The Bottom Line
SOLUSD is respecting the symmetrical wedge perfectly. Price hit descending resistance at $147 and got rejected - now heading toward the FVG zone at $140-$142 for a retest.
Short-term, I'm BEARISH. Follow the wedge until it breaks. The FVG zone at $140-$142 is the next target. If that fails, $137.72 channel bottom is in play.
Long-term, the fundamentals are strong (ETF inflows, Alpenglow upgrade, institutional adoption). But technicals say DOWN until we break above $148.29.
Watch the FVG zone. That's your tell.

RSI divergence has formed, indicating a potential trend reversal. Based on this signal, the price is expected to shift from bearish to bullish and move toward the projected take-profit levels.
⚠️ Always remember to protect your capital with proper stop-loss placement and disciplined risk management.
SOL - LTF Snowflake SignalsIts incredible how crypto swings so violently from action to calm - and now in a calm phase.
Not much to go on currently as TOTAL and Bitcoin have pulled back either to re-test or continue on down.
Here SOL has recently printed a LTF slightly higher high shakeout.
LTF fractals are snowflakes and not proof of much.
But these whipsawing slightly higher highs often signal downside in the pipeline.
I have highlighted a previous instance in the chart - and you can see that it did push up higher, but there was more significant bearish action revealed later 🧐.

SOL Solana ¡WARNING! LOW Confirmed On Daily... BUT...!Hello everyone, please make sure you give this idea a boost, share and follow me here on TW for my regular critical updates on Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana & MicroStrategy based off Martin Armstrong's Socrates 💖 I really appreciate it!
As expected, the LOW was on January 20th BUT, on BTC and ETH we have a very strong target today and tomorrow the 23rd, warning of a possible HIGH today/tomorrow and important VOLATILITY into next week however, SOLANA itself is not showing strong targets today/tomorrow so, perhaps SOL has a higher chance of ripping higher through the weekend.
As of now, the final target for a HIGH on this bounce is February 3rd.
Previous Idea on SOL
Good luck! stay safe 🙏🏻
SOL May Be In Serious TroublePotential ZigZag
SOL recently completed an expanded flat to the upside after a 5 wave impulsive move to the downside. And now it could become impulsive to the down side, again. So far, this type of price action corresponds to a ZigZag (5-3-5) correctional pattern and leads to an abc of a larger degree.
On the 1-Week Chart
A large Head & Shoulders pattern is in formation and may be incomplete. Wave 4 of the last impulse up could be potential retracement. 👇👇👇
Invalidation
If the trend continues down in 5 impulsive waves, this suggest that the zigzag is in effect. If price action is still corrective to the downside, this would invalidate the presumed zigzag.
Alternatives
It is possible that current structure may be printing inside the plotted broadening wedge. Support from the lower trend line of the wedge would be clues toward another bounce and possibly exhaustion to the downside. If price action remains impulsive to the down side and breaks the wedge formation, this would suggest lowers lows for SOL.
Conclusion
As crypto continues to evolve, patterns are becoming more complex. Traditionally, during the last 2 cycles there were simple flat or expanded flat corrections followed by super pumps. Now, corrections are becoming more complex and can include double zigzags, triple zigzags, WXYXZ, etc... So, as the crypto market evolves we have a responsibility to evolve with it.
One of the best practices that I've found is to perform Elliott Wave principles on the DJIA Index chart, along with the Elliott Wave Principles hand book. I am currently a noob at Elliott Wave Principles but I aim to master the craft and combine it with other techniques that I have learned (supply and demand lines, Phi based ratios, Wyckoff events and phases). Charting has become a major aspect of my life over the past few years. I started to learn the craft for money and lost. Now I enjoy the craft without any pressure of buying and selling. Someday, when I feel that I have matured enough, I may start buying and selling again. But I enjoy charting because of the challenge and the stories that each chart holds and I hope that my publishes can be of use for anyone just starting.
It's rare that I talk about my personal story, and I tend to keep it professional and TA based. But after all, we are human. Good Luck to you all, the FOMO's , HODLR's, scalpers, and intraday's.

Is Solana Preparing for a New Upside Wave After WMA Breakout?📊 SOL/USD – “SOLANA VS U.S Dollar” Crypto Market Opportunity Blueprint (Swing Trade)
🟢 Trade Plan Overview
The bullish structure is confirmed after Weighted Moving Average (WMA) dynamic support breakout, signalling fresh momentum entering the market. This setup favors continuation as long as SOL holds above the breakout zone.
📌 Entry Zone
➡️ Entry: Any price level after the WMA breakout above 145.00000
The breakout + retest combination is your strongest confirmation. Let the chart validate the move—no rush entries.
🛡️ Stop Loss (Risk Protection)
➡️ Suggested SL: 132.50000
Dear Ladies & Gentlemen (Thief OG’s):
Use this SL only as a reference. Adjust based on your personal execution style, risk tolerance, and position size.
Place SL only after breakout confirmation — not before.
🎯 Profit Target
➡️ Target: 160.00000
Weighted moving averages are acting as dynamic resistance, and indicators show signs of potential overbought traps, so secure profits early instead of overstaying.
Dear Ladies & Gentlemen (Thief OG’s):
TP is your own choice. Lock in profits based on your comfort, not just my blueprint.
📚 Market Reasoning
WMA breakout shows renewed bullish strength.
Structure support aligned with higher-timeframe trend.
Volume expansion confirms buyers stepping in.
Resistance cluster around 160 remains the key zone to offload profits.
🔎 Related Pairs to Watch (Correlation & Key Notes)
💠 BITSTAMP:BTCUSD (Bitcoin)
High correlation with total crypto liquidity.
Strong BTC breakouts often pull SOL upward because altcoins follow BTC’s macro flow.
If BTC loses trend support, SOL setups weaken.
💠 BITSTAMP:ETHUSD (Ethereum)
ETH and SOL share similar Layer-1 ecosystem flows.
When ETH rallies aggressively, funds rotate into strong alts like SOL.
Good to use as a sentiment confirmation tool.
💠 COINBASE:ADAUSD (Cardano)
Another L1 competitor; correlated during broad alt-season pushes.
When ADA moves, retail interest usually spreads across L1s — including SOL.
💠 COINBASE:AVAXUSD (Avalanche)
Solana + Avalanche often move together during risk-on bursts.
AVAX momentum adds conviction to SOL’s breakout reliability.
💠 BINANCE:SOLBTC
The most important relative strength pair for SOL.
If SOLBTC is trending upward, SOL outperforms majors — huge confirmation signal for swing trades.
📈 Final Thoughts
This trade plan balances momentum, trend structure, and dynamic WMA confirmation. Follow the breakout logic, respect your risk, and let the chart guide your exits. The idea is designed to help traders act with clarity, control, and professional-level precision.
SOL Key Levels January 22 2026
Solana is currently trading near $130, having recently broken down through an ascending trend-line and the $128 to $130 immediate support.
The price action is in a sharp retracement following a failure to break above the $146 to $148 strong resistance zone.
Primary support is established at the $120 level, which serves as a major structural floor to pre-vent further downside toward the $110 region.
To restore a bullish outlook, the price must reclaim above $128 to $130 zone and overcome the $140 key resistance.
SOL 1D Update: Looking to establish new uptrendSOL update.
SOL is now establishing a new short-term uptrend after spending months inside a descending channel. The key shift is structural: price has broken out of the downtrend and is no longer making lower lows. Instead, it’s holding above former support around the $125 level and building higher lows, which is exactly what you want to see in an early trend transition.
The move higher toward the $140–145 area has been more controlled and constructive than prior bounces. Instead of sharp relief moves that fade immediately, SOL is grinding higher and holding gains, suggesting real demand rather than just short covering.
This strength is also starting to show up across the Solana ecosystem. Several SOL meme coins are attempting to break out of their own basing structures, which typically happens when SOL itself stops trending down and begins to lead. That kind of breadth is important and often precedes stronger continuation if it sustains.
Key levels to watch:
As long as SOL holds above $125, the uptrend structure remains intact.
Acceptance above $145 opens the door for a move toward the $160–180 region, where heavier resistance sits.
A failure back below $125 would invalidate the breakout and shift this back into range behavior.
Overall, SOL’s character has changed from sell-the-rip to buy-the-dip. It’s still early and likely to be choppy, but the market is finally starting to lean in the right direction. If this structure holds, both SOL and its meme ecosystem have room to expand further.
Solana ¡WARNING! Bull-Trap Forming Week of January 12thHappy New Year! Please take a look at my related Idea below: BTC Bitcoin 2026 Outlook 🔥 for a more detailed long-term explanation.
January RALLY has so far played out as expected 🐂🎯 although it had an important pull-back the week of January 5th thus showing weakness. The strongest WEEKLY TARGET for a Turning Point is this week January 12th , more precisely around Tuesday 13th .
The trading playbook is to sell either around Tuesday 13th or as soon as price begins to cross the $145 levels.
We should see a resumption of the bear-market downtrend with a 3-month heavy sell-off from February into late April, early May 🩸🐻.
Today I'm posting separate Ideas for ETH, BTC & MSTR 📈 please follow me and check out my ideas.
Good luck! stay safe 🙏🏻
