Solana Price Analysis: Can $90 Resistance Confirm a Recovery?

Solana rebounds with strengthening momentum, but a breakout above key resistance is needed to confirm a sustained upside move.

Solana (SOL) trades for $85.98, up 3.8% over the past 24 hours, after rebounding from a daily low near $82.63 and briefly testing highs around $89.58. The intraday chart shows a breakout that lifted SOL to the upper $80s before momentum cooled and price settled back in the mid-$80s. Despite the pullback from local highs, buyers continue to defend levels above $85, suggesting short-term stabilization after recent volatility.

Looking elsewhere, Solana is up 12.2% over the past 7 days, signaling improving short-term sentiment. However, performance remains mixed across higher timeframes, with a 0.7% dip over 14 days and 18.1% over 30 days.

Solana’s market cap stands at approximately $49.0 billion, with $5.8 billion in 24-hour trading volume. The question now remains if Solana can sustain momentum above the mid-$80 region and reclaim the $89-$90 resistance zone to confirm a stronger recovery structure.

Solana’s daily chart confirms the dominant bearish trend remains, despite recent stabilization near the $80–$90 zone. However, momentum indicators are beginning to shift. The MACD has turned upward, with the histogram printing positive bars. The MACD line (-3.94) crossing above the signal line (-5.68) shows early bullish momentum building from oversold conditions.

The Bull Bear Power indicator has also flipped into positive territory at 3.24 after an extended period of red prints, suggesting buyers are gradually regaining short-term control. While these signals point to a potential relief rally, Solana would need to break above overhead resistance levels like $90 to confirm a stronger trend reversal. Until that occurs, the current move may remain a corrective bounce within a broader bearish structure.

Solana is currently trading within a clearly defined 4-hour range, according to analyst Ali Martinez. The price is oscillating between resistance near $90.68 and support around $76.66, forming what he describes as a “clean range.” Recent price action shows repeated rejections near the upper boundary and strong bounces from the lower support zone, reinforcing the structure of this consolidation channel.

Martinez emphasizes that he is not interested in trading within the range itself, but rather waiting for a decisive breakout. A sustained move above $90.68 could signal bullish continuation, while a breakdown below $76.66 would likely open the door for further downside momentum.
