Will SOL reclaim $180 resistance soon?

Published: Feb 24, 2025

Solana faces bearish pressure as it breaks support, with traders uncertain about direction. While a relief bounce is possible, overall sentiment remains weak as funding rates fluctuate and shorts dominate.

SOL:

  • SOL's funding rate has fluctuated between positive and negative. But mostly it's been negative, suggesting that Shorts have been more dominant.
  • SOL's Open Interest is at new highs (measured by a number of coins). However, this is partly due to there still being a lot of interest, and also the price is much lower ie, less $ needed to Long or Short 1 SOL.
  • Ultimately, OI is high, and we're seeing traders flip-flop meaning there's a lot of uncertainty around positioning. Not an attractive setup here.

Technical analysis

  • SOL has just breached its horizontal support of $162, however, this support does extend to $158, so it's more of a zone of support.
  • Price has pulled back substantially and it's now only 10% above the main Yellow Buy/Support box, we outlined 6-8 weeks ago.
  • Interestingly, SOL's RSI is very close to being overbought, and it can put in a bullish divergence today (assuming the price closes a new low and the oscillator closes a higher low). This might be what's needed for SOL to get a small relief bounce.
  • In terms of horizontal resistance, the low $ 180s is likely to be that level.

  • Next Support: $145 (then $120)
  • Next Resistance: $180
  • Direction: Neutral/Bearish
  • Upside Target: $180
  • Downside Target: $120

Cryptonary's take

Overall, it's just not a great chart, even though a potential relief bounce is possible. We're seeing a cleanse in the SOL eco-system, or rather we're on the cusp of a cleanse after meme's crime season ($TRUMP, $MELANIA, $LIBRA etc).

In the short term, a relief bounce is possible, we're just not sure we'll play it, as the narrative around SOL right now isn't great. We still expect the Yellow Box to be retested in the upcoming weeks.

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.
