The Solana (SOL) is trading near US$ 78,00 at the time of publication of this article, posting a gain of approximately 1,7% in the last 24 hours. After recently reaching the US$ 83,00 region, the cryptocurrency lost buying strength and failed to sustain the upward move, returning to trade in a range considered decisive by technical analysts.
The current price behavior puts SOL at an inflection point. While buyers try to regain control of the market, the resistance at US$ 86,00 remains the main obstacle to a more consistent resumption of the uptrend. On the downside, the support at US$ 72,00 is seen as the most important region to avoid a deeper correction.
SOL tests a decisive level after a recovery of nearly 30%
According to analysis by trader Dami-Defi, Solana is pressuring the upper boundary of a descending channel observed on the three-day chart, a structure that has been guiding the price since September 2025.
The analyst highlights that SOL has already recovered about 28% since the low near US$ 61, reaching the region of US$ 78, exactly where it meets the descending trendline.
In his view, a three-day chart close above US$ 78 would represent confirmation of a break in the bearish structure. If this scenario is validated with an increase in trading volume, the first technical target becomes US$ 105.
Dami-Defi also projects more ambitious targets for the coming months. After US$ 105, the next objectives would be US$ 125 and later US$ 155, if the market maintains buying strength.
On the other hand, the analyst warns that the optimistic scenario would be invalidated if Solana records a consistent close below US$ 72, signaling that sellers have regained control of the market.
Range between US$ 73 and US$ 76 could define the next move
A similar reading was presented by analyst Michaël van de Poppe, who considers the current price region extremely important for defining Solana's direction.
According to him, if the cryptocurrency manages to remain between US$ 73 and US$ 76 and rises again from that range, this will represent a strong signal that the market is prepared to seek prices above US$ 100.
In the specialist's view, this buying reaction would show that the recent correction was only a pause within a larger uptrend.
However, Van de Poppe also issues a warning. If SOL fails to defend this support region, the market may record new lows, not only for Solana, but for several cryptocurrencies.
Resistance at US$ 86 remains the most important barrier
Although analysts are closely watching the US$ 78 region, the chart also shows that the US$ 86 range remains the main short-term resistance.
A consistent breakout of this level would significantly increase the chances of Solana accelerating toward the psychological mark of US$ 100, reinforcing optimistic projections for the coming months.
On the other hand, as long as SOL remains below this resistance, the asset may continue fluctuating within a sideways range, with investors closely watching the US$ 72, considered the main defense level for buyers.
With the cryptocurrency market once again showing a greater appetite for risk, Solana’s next closes may determine whether the asset will finally resume its uptrend or remain trapped in its consolidation structure before seeking new highs.
