SOL's Open Interest has ramped up in recent days, but it remains below its highs set back in late March.

The funding rate is positive, suggesting that the leverage used in the past few days has been mostly on Longs.

Technical analysis

  • There has been a really nice 15% or so move up in the last few days, which has seen SOL spike above the main downtrend line.
  • However, SOL has encountered resistance at the horizontal resistance level of $162, which we have marked as a key level for a long time.
  • However, SOL is also forming a pennant/bull flag pattern (we're not sure which one yet; we'd need more days' worth of price action), but it looks like a bullish pennant. These tend to have a bias to break to the upside. 
  • There is a lot of support below the current price, with the first zone between $140 and $145. The second zone would be between $120 and $131, although we wouldn't be confident about price retesting this level.
  • The RSI is at 57, so SOL is not currently in or even near overbought territory on the Daily, meaning there's the potential for further upside in the short term.

Cryptonary's take

SOL has now moved into a more significant horizontal resistance area, so we may see a slight pullback in the immediate term, but likely just a shallow pullback. 

However, we believe that in the coming week or two, we can see a break out above $162, and that may be enough to ignite the bullish reversal that sends price back to $200. 

For now, we remain patient, having had months to accumulate in the $120s and $130s—assuming you weren't here in 2023 when we accumulated in the $20-$40 range.

What is Solana: Solana (SOL) is a high-performance blockchain designed for fast and scalable decentralized applications and cryptocurrencies. Launched by Solana Labs in 2017, Solana is celebrated for its ability to process thousands of transactions per second with low fees, making it a popular choice for developers and users alike. At Cryptonary, we are most bullish on Solana for this cycle, considering it the play of the cycle due to its robust technology and growing ecosystem.

Solana's ATH is $260.

Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025.

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
