Solana (SOL) Primed for Liftoff as Bulls Charge Back In

Solana’s price action flashes green—traders pile in as technicals hint at a breakout.

Why now? Network upgrades and meme coin mania fuel the fire.

The ’Ethereum killer’ narrative gets a second wind—just as gas fees spike on rival chains (classic).

Watch the $200 resistance level. Break that, and the FOMO crowd will turn this rally into a stampede.

Solana Price Consolidates Gains

There is also a short-term rising channel forming with support at $172 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair.

On the upside, the price is facing resistance NEAR the $176 level and the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $180 swing high to the $170 low. The next major resistance is near the $180 level.

Downside Correction in SOL?

If SOL fails to rise above the $176 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $172 zone. The first major support is near the $170 level.

A break below the $170 level might send the price toward the $162 zone. If there is a close below the $162 support, the price could decline toward the $150 support in the near term.
