Unfortunately, the Solana price didn’t enjoy this return above the $200 level for long, crashing—like the rest of the crypto market—back toward its early-week position around $180. A popular crypto analyst on the social media platform X has revealed that SOL’s downturn was no coincidence.
This evaluation revolves around the Fixed Range Volume Profile (FRVP) indicator, which provides insights into the distribution of trading volume across various levels on a price chart. In essence, the FRVP indicator helps identify regions with the most trading activity within a specific period.
According to Kesmeci, the FRVP high-volume trading level currently lies around the $150 Solana price region. The crypto analyst noted that investors can expect SOL to continue its upward trajectory as long as its price stays above this high-volume trading level.
The crypto analyst identified $188 as the Value Area High (the green line in the chart above) for the Solana price. According to Kesmeci, the altcoin has struggled to stay above this VAH level so far in 2025—a trend witnessed in the past day.
Kesmeci added:
If Solana can shift its high-volume trading level upward, the bullish trend could strengthen.
As of this writing, the price of Solana sits just above $180, reflecting a nearly 5% decline in the past 24 hours. Nevertheless, this drab 24-hour performance was not enough to push the altcoin’s weekly action into the red. According to CoinGecko data, the SOL price is up by over 4% in the last seven days.
