The Solana (SOL) market has registered a near 2% price increase in the last 24 hours, representing slight relief for investors enduring steep losses from the last week. Between August 14 and 15, the altcoin tumbled by roughly 13%, sliding from near $210 to around $180 as broader crypto markets reacted to US Producer Price Index (PPI) data. Despite the short-term recovery, prominent market analyst Ali Martinez warns that Solana may remain in danger yet, projecting the potential for further downside in the days ahead.
Notably, this price region forms the upper boundary of a well-established trading price channel whose lower boundary lies around $160. Therefore, there is strong potential for the current retracement to persist with initial support targets set around $180, i.e., the midline of the trading range under study. However, a decisive price break below this level would force SOL to $160, indicating a potential 17% decline from present spot market prices.
On the other hand, if Solana bulls can sustain prices above $180, it would invalidate these bearish projections, perhaps pushing the altcoin into consolidation. However, Solana must decisively claim the price resistance around the $208 region to show bullish intent, with potential upside targets set around $250.
Looking ahead, Coincodex analysts maintain a cautiously optimistic outlook for SOL’s price. Their forecasts project Solana at $197 over the next month, and a potential climb to $219 within three months, should broader market conditions remain supportive.
