The crypto analyst who warned Solana (SOL) traders to sell near the cycle top at $250 is back with a new outlook after the market validated his earlier call. Crypto Patel says the decline in SOL’s price following his $200-$250 exit zone has now created the conditions for a new long-term opportunity, but only if another key level gives way. His latest chart frames Solana’s price action as a repeatable cycle of euphoric expansion and sharp correction before the next major rally. Crypto Patel Shares New Solana Price Prediction In a recent post on X, Crypto Patel reminded community members that when Solana was trading near its peak between $250 and $200, most investors were projecting a run to $1,000. Instead, the price reversed from a high around $295 and collapsed to near $67, marking a massive 77% drawdown from the top.

He notes that Solana is now testing the $85 level , which corresponds to the 0.382 Fibonacci retracement on the chart. The zone has acted as a temporary support; however, it remains structurally weak given the broader trend of lower highs since the peak. The analyst suggests that if Solana fails to break $85, its price could slide into the $50- $30 range, extending its decline over the past two years . He has labeled this area as a strong Fair Value Gap (FVG) accumulation zone based on historical demand and volume behavior.

In the 2021 bull cycle , price rallied by more 24,234.55% and then declined by 97.01% the following year. Crypto Patel’s current projection places Solana in a similar expansion and corrective phase. The cryptocurrency has already experienced its expansion stage in 2024, when its price jumped by more than 3,699% to a peak of around $295. Now the analyst predicts an upcoming correction, where price is expected to decline by a whopping 89.44% in mid 2026. Long-Term Targets Remain Intact Despite Correction Despite the bearish short-term outlook, Crypto Patel has not abandoned his long-range bullish projections for SOL. He maintains that once the corrective phase is complete, Solana could still target the $500 – $1,000 range. His chart projects a sharp upward surge toward the $1,000 level by 2027, representing a massive 3,103% surge.
