As Solana (SOL) shows potential for continued bullish momentum in search of reclaiming the $200 resistance, an analyst has warned that investors should be ready for a possible bumpy ride ahead.
Specifically, crypto trading expert Alan Santana has observed that Solana, the decentralized finance (DeFi) token, exhibited a significant bearish signal in August 2024 that could suggest a deeper decline in its price.
In a TradingView post on August 10, Santana pointed out that Solana’s recent price and volume patterns bear a striking resemblance to those observed in July 2023.
In July 2023, after over 45 days of steady price increases, Solana experienced a strong bullish volume spike. This spike marked the beginning of a significant upward movement, as buyers showed strong interest in the cryptocurrency, pushing its price to new heights.
A year later, the analyst observed that the situation appears to have reversed. In August 2024, after 140 days of bearish price action, Solana showed a strong bearish volume spike. This movement suggests the continuation of the current downtrend, and the price action aligns with this bearish signal.
The analysis indicates that if this bearish momentum continues, Solana could be headed toward the $90 level—a significant support zone based on past trading activity. The coming days will be crucial in determining whether Solana can stabilize or if a further drop to $90 is on the horizon.
Solana’s potential to rally
Although the volume around Solana points to bearish sentiments, another analyst has suggested that investors should anticipate a possible breakout in the price. Particularly, in an X post on August 11, the analyst by the pseudonym Crypto Patel pointed out that Solana has been exhibiting strong bullish momentum, pointing to a potential all-time high of $500 on the horizon.
According to the expert, historical performance shows that SOL has demonstrated substantial gains in past bull runs, with significant price increases from its support levels. The chart indicates a robust support zone around $80, which has historically served as a springboard for upward price movements.
Solana price analysis
By press time, Solana was trading at $154, having corrected by about 0.3% in the last 24 hours. On the weekly chart, the asset has gained by over 7%.
At the moment, investors need to watch Solana’s key support levels to alleviate any possible downturn. $150 is the major support, and dropping below this mark could spell more trouble for SOL.

Conclusion: What Lies Ahead for Solana?
It’s evident that Solana’s price action is at a critical juncture, with conflicting signals from various analysts. While Alan Santana warns of a possible downturn towards $90, Crypto Patel remains optimistic about a potential rally towards $500.
Investors in Solana need to carefully monitor the market conditions, keeping a close eye on key support and resistance levels. The next few days will be crucial in determining whether Solana can break out of its current trend or if further price declines are imminent.
