Key Takeaways
Solana (SOL) has shown strong recovery momentum recently, rebounding off major support and breaking above key resistance zones.
Currently sitting at pivotal resistance, with the potential for either a continuation rally or a short-term correction.
The microstructure on the lower time frame suggests a completed five-wave impulse, with a corrective A-B-C now in development.
After forming a macro top around $294, SOL entered a significant corrective phase, completing a five-wave downward move into the $118.34–$98.83 demand zone on April 7.
This area coincided with the 0.618 and 0.786 Fibonacci retracement levels from the previous bull leg.
Price respected this zone with a strong bounce and is now consolidating around $139, eyeing the 0.5 Fib level.
The breakout from the descending wedge pattern marks a major structural shift, returning the price to retest prior broken support as resistance.
This pivot point could act as a launchpad for continuation toward $185.57 (0.382 retracement) and possibly $227.16 (0.236 Fib), assuming bullish momentum persists.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is trending upward but remains below overbought territory, leaving room for further upside.
However, historical price action around these zones suggests a pullback may be due before further gains. The green zone between $118 and $130 remains key for bullish continuation.
On the 1-hour chart, SOL has completed a full five-wave impulsive structure, peaking near $142.
This fifth wave formed within a rising wedge, which typically signals weakening momentum and precedes a corrective retracement.
Price is looking to break the wedge support, initiating what appears to be an A-B-C corrective structure.
Wave (a) is expected to bring SOL down toward the $125–$120 region, aligning with previous accumulation and the high-volume node on the visible range.
Wave (b) could retrace to around $134 before wave (c) continues the correction, possibly targeting $118.34 (0.618 Fib support).
The RSI has pulled back from overbought levels and is now neutral, suggesting that downside pressure could continue in the short term.
A strong bounce from the green zone would maintain bullish structure, while a break below $118 would signal deeper corrective potential.
If the A-B-C completes and SOL reclaims $140 on volume, the next target would be the $150–$155 resistance range.
Until then, a cautious approach is advised as the market digests recent gains.
