Solana (SOL) is stabilizing just below a key resistance zone as traders watch for a potential breakout. TradingView data shows the token trading near $86.71 on March 12, down 0.55% over the past 24 hours. Crypto analyst More Crypto Online noted in a chart shared on X that Solana must break above the $88–$91 resistance range to trigger a bullish breakout attempt.
A breakout through the resistance zone would indicate an upward momentum breakout. But a failure to hold support above $84.40 will indicate that a larger correction may begin.
Per the chart provided by More Crypto Online, SOL appears to be moving into a sideways consolidation pattern. The asset is currently being held back by weaker momentum signals.
Resistance Zone Limits Solana’s Price Movement
According to the chart shared by the analyst, the Solana price has been trading within a very tight band of resistance and support levels. This range formed after the significant decline in Solana’s price earlier this year.
If Solana’s price drops through the support price of $84, it would be a confirmation that there is a Wave 3 to the downside. A Wave 3 indicates a strong decline and is typically associated with the greatest degree of bearishness.
Additionally, the analyst believes that the current upward movement in SOL may be part of a B-wave (a short-term reversal), which is still part of a long-term downtrend.
A B-wave is a short-term rally, which reverses direction but does not last long enough to be classified as a full wave. Market data from TradingView showed that the SOL price has declined roughly 5.7% over the past week.
