Solana eyes $100 breakout after extended downtrend reversal

Key levels in technical outlook

Charts shared by crypto analysts point to SOL forming a strong base near $70 after last month’s sharp pullbacks. Since then, the price has surpassed the upper bound of its prolonged downtrend, offering a more optimistic technical picture for investors.

The $95–$100 band now stands as the first major resistance for buyers aiming to take control of the market. Should SOL manage a daily close above this zone, the next target is projected in the $145–$155 range—a former support that has turned into a resistance after being breached.

Glossary: The rounded bottom pattern is a chart formation where prices decline, flatten, then rise, typically marking a long-term base and potential trend reversal.

Chart analysts note, “If Solana posts a daily close above $100, that could indicate buyers are gaining control and help propel prices toward new resistance zones at $145 and above.”

Has downtrend ended? All eyes on $98 barrier

Compared to its main competitors, Solana is now showing greater relative strength. Climbing above the historic downtrend line on the daily chart suggests that the selling pressure has eased. However, the price’s rejection near the $98 zone underlines that this level presents a tough barrier and that the positive shift is not yet confirmed.

Currently trading at $85.98, the first important support for technical traders is at $82. If buyers fail to defend this level, further declines toward $67.61 remain a risk factor to watch.

In the near term, breaking above $98 could open the door to a strong recovery. Analysts warn that as long as the price stays below this resistance, uncertainty will continue. Sustained daily closes above both $98 and $100 are seen as vital for continued upward movement.
