Key Insights:
-
Solana’s price holds steady near $85, facing weak trend momentum and struggling to break above the $90 resistance.
-
Fibonacci resistance levels at $98.76 and $108.33 are key targets if Solana breaks above the $90 psychological barrier.
-
Immediate support at $83.40–$82.60 is crucial; failure to hold this zone could lead to a retest of $77–$78.
Solana (SOL) is currently trading near $85, showing signs of stabilization following a sharp correction from $148.88 to $67.78. The price has found short-term support between $83 and $85, but the momentum remains fragile. Traders are keenly watching whether this support can trigger a more significant recovery, although the overall trend still reflects a corrective phase, rather than a confirmed trend reversal.
The 4-hour chart indicates a gradual recovery from the $67.78 low, but the trend lacks strong directional momentum. The Average Directional Index (ADX) stands at 16, signaling weak trend strength and favoring a range-bound market. Despite this recovery, the price struggles to break above $90, with the $90 level acting as a psychological barrier. A decisive close above $90 could shift sentiment and open the door to further upside movement.
Fibonacci Resistance Levels Set New Targets
Resistance lies at Fibonacci retracement levels of $98.76 (0.382 level) and $108.33 (0.5 level), which are the next potential targets if Solana manages to break above the $90 mark. These levels align with the broader market’s previous decline. For bullish momentum to resume, Solana must reclaim $90, which would unlock a path toward $100 and possibly $108.

On the downside, immediate support is located between $83.40 and $82.60. A breakdown below this range could lead to renewed selling pressure and a possible revisit of the $77 to $78 liquidity sweep region. If Solana fails to hold the $82 area, it could test the macro swing low of $67.78, which remains a critical level of support. Buyers previously defended this zone, suggesting long-term investors view sub-$70 levels as valuable.
Market Sentiment Remains Cautious
Solana’s derivatives and flow data reflect a cautious market sentiment. Open interest surged above $10 billion into early 2026, driven by aggressive long positions. However, it has since dropped back to $5.1 billion, signaling deleveraging and reduced speculative pressure. Spot flow data indicates persistent distribution, with large inflows and modest outflows, highlighting a market in wait-and-see mode as SOL hovers near $85.
The key levels for Solana are well-defined, with the $90 resistance and the $83 to $85 support zone serving as crucial points of interest. A sustained move above $90 could trigger a move toward $100, while failure to hold support at $82 could signal a deeper correction toward $77 and $67.

AI panic impacts the crypto market: ETH, SOL, XRP all decline collectively, with increased downward pressure as BTC consolidates sideways
On February 24, news reports indicate that the crypto market came under pressure due to the intensification of the "Artificial Intelligence Panic Trading" and worsening macro risk sentiment. Ethereum, Solana, and Ripple experienced continued declines, with major cryptocurrencies generally recording an 8% to 11% correction over the week. Bitcoin briefly dropped to approximately $62,900, down about 2.1% for the day, with a weekly decline of 7.5%. Its price remains confined within the $60,000 to $70,000 range established after the early February surge, and the market is more inclined to view this as a consolidation zone rather than a clear bottom.
Altcoins performed significantly weaker than Bitcoin. Ethereum's price fell to around $1,829, with a weekly decline of about 8%; XRP dropped over 10%, SOL declined more than 11%, and Dogecoin approached a double-digit correction. Mainstream altcoins weakened in tandem, reflecting a decline in market risk appetite, with insufficient buying interest outside of Bitcoin and more cautious capital allocation.
