The cryptocurrency has been hovering between the $77 and $92 levels over the past month and a half, failing to break above the upper zone of this range despite multiple attempts. Following the recent crypto market bounce, the altcoin reached a one-month high of $97 at the start of the week, before dropping to $90 on Wednesday. Amid this performance, analyst Ali Martinez reported that SOL recently flashed a key bullish signal for the first time since January, suggesting a relief rally could be ahead. As he explained, the SuperTrend indicator, which is used to identify the current market trend, has turned bullish on Solana, flipping from Sell to Buy on the daily chart. In addition, the market watcher noted that there’s little resistance until the $100 psychological barrier, signaling a potential breakout to $115.

With no significant supply barriers remaining on the horizontal profile, Solana has a clear path toward the $100 psychological level, followed by the $115 liquidity cluster,” he detailed, adding that the “‘ceiling’ is significantly thinner than the current floor.” Martinez emphasized that if Solana holds the 39-day distribution zone that flipped into a structural floor around the $93 area, a bull rally could happen “much faster than people think.” Institutional Demand, Regulatory Clarity Fuel SOL’s Momentum SOL’s anticipated recovery comes as spot Solana Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) record their largest single-day performance in two weeks and their best weekly run since the mid-January market crash.
