Solana has entered a prolonged consolidation phase at higher price levels, potentially setting up a major upward move.

Historical patterns show SOL cycles of deep corrections, extended sideways ranges, and explosive rallies.

Immediate support lies near $126–$125, with resistance between $135–$150 shaping short-term price action.

Solana (SOL) has historically moved in clear market cycles, marked by deep corrections followed by long consolidation phases and sharp upward expansions. After its previous major declines, SOL spent over a year trading sideways, absorbing supply and shaking out weaker traders.

Once these ranges were resolved, SOL surged dramatically, rising more than 1,100% after the first significant consolidation. Similarly, the same trend emerged after another correction of 65%.

The price started ranging within a defined boundary. Higher lows were formed on the inside, with both buyers and sellers entering the market. The breakout from the boundary led to another significant rally, as if the price of Solana is following a cycle instead of a straight path.

SOL is in a similar zone of consolidation after its previous increase. The price holds below the range resistance level, forming higher lows. This indicates that the bears do not dominate in this market. Market analysts believe that this could be forming a basis for a major upward move, as the pattern of correction, accumulation, and then expansion.

Solana Technical Signals Point to Controlled Downtrend

According to TradingView data, SOL’s daily chart reveals that the token remains within the larger correction phase after touching the October high of $220-$230. The formation of lower highs and lower lows establishes that there has been bear market domination and no mere correction.

The large drop that happened in November has already broken through many supports and has settled down around $126, which corresponds to a critical Fibonacci level (0.236-0.382).

Attempts made for the higher move are being met with sell pressure between $135 and $150, which indicates that the upside strength is not strong at the moment. If SOL goes below $125 daily, it might test the $110-level. In order to break the prevailing downtrend, it needs to go above $135-$150.

Consolidation Could Precede Next Expansion

Trendoscope data indicates that the recent corrections are average, and rallies are very weak. The data indicates that SOL might be consolidating, and it might not be undergoing its final sell-off phase. When prices are higher during consolidations, it indicates that the purchase of SOL for the long term is about to trigger bigger rallies.

If SOL follows its past trends, this prolonged phase of consolidation may open doors to a major bullish breakout, which may resemble earlier percentage growth as well. For now, traders are waiting to see some major breakout action over $145-$150 to cement an upward movement. The support levels are currently being closely monitored at $120-$126.
