Solana Grinds Against $145 Resistance – Will Bulls Break Through for a $200 Surge?
Solana’s SOL hovers below a critical $145 threshold—traders are watching for signs of a breakout or another rejection. The network’s speed keeps it in the spotlight, but can it shake off the ’Ethereum killer’ hype and deliver real price action?
Market sentiment remains split: technicals suggest consolidation, while derivatives traders quietly stack long positions. Meme coin degens still clog the chain, because nothing says ’Web3 revolution’ like dog-themed casino tokens.
All eyes on whether SOL can flip $145 from resistance to support. If it does? The path to $200 looks clearer than a banker’s conscience during a bull market.
- Solana (SOL) holds ground at $145, showing slight weakness but maintaining critical support.
- Low volatility and neutral indicators suggest a range-bound market phase is underway.
- Analysts split between short-term caution and long-term optimism, with eyes on breakout zones.
Solana (SOL) is currently trading at $145.00, reflecting a marginal daily dip of 0.81%, while the 24-hour trading volume surged by 15.95% to $1.78 billion. Over the past week, price action has remained largely stagnant, showing a 0.65% decline. Despite its relatively stable footing, SOL now appears to be consolidating near a crucial resistance zone, with technicals signaling a market in wait.
The recent rally in April may have reached a temporary top, as momentum indicators show fading strength. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) sits at 58.23, just below the overbought threshold, while the MACD has formed a tight crossover, reflecting indecision in market direction. The Bollinger Band Width, now at 5.47%, indicates shrinking volatility, a classic sign of potential breakout conditions ahead.
The Average Directional Index (ADX) at 8.7 further confirms the absence of a strong trend, implying that Solana may remain in its current $144–$147 range until significant volume returns.
SOL trading strategies with a focus on range
Traders are taking a cautious approach to SOL, opting for range trading. The price is fluctuating around the key levels; long entries are on the cards at $144, looking at the target area of $147 and $153, with stop losses below $141. Short selling is on the cards at $147 as the resistance entry, with target areas of $144 and $141, and stop losses at $149.
Risk management is still essential, despite the prevailing low-volatility situation. Analysts are calling for confirmation through volume before entering positions and recommending entering trades on multi-timeframe confirmation.
In contrast to subdued market action, Optimism persists in segments of the market. Specifically, the 4-hour bull flag formation has led some, including analyst Hardy, to grow optimistic about an upside breakout. This short-term chart pattern, if confirmed, may trigger an effort to move through the resistance range of $153–$154.

Solana could hit $900 based on Fibonacci extension
Stepping back, the overall picture for Solana is still bullish. Following its dip against its 1-week MA200 in April, SOL maintained its position, paving the way for further rises. The next key resistance at $170, which is also at the 1-week MA50, is still the first key obstacle.
TradingShot sees the potential to move to $350, which represents the “higher high” within an observed wedge pattern. A technically driven but extremely optimistic scenario in which the level is cleanly broken through divulges the potential path to the $900 level on the basis of a Fibonacci 2.0 extension. Nonetheless, since Solana has suffered a 67% correction within the last three months, optimism is tempered with caution.
