Despite this massive purchase, it appears that SOL may potentially retest its breakout level to confirm the successful breakout. At press time, SOL is trading is trading near $137 and has experienced a price surge of over 3.75% in the last 24 hours. During the same period, its trading volume increased by 20%, indicating higher participation from traders and investors following the breakout.

Solana Technical Analysis and Upcoming Levels

According to the expert technical analysis, SOL appears bullish and is currently facing strong resistance from the 200 Exponential Moving Average (EMA) on the daily time frame. At present, it is crucial for SOL to close a daily candle above the 200 EMA to trigger a significant upside rally.

If SOL closes its daily candle above $140, there is a strong possibility that it could soar by 18% to the $165 level and further to the $185 if bullish sentiment persists. However, this bullish thesis will only hold if SOL closes the daily candle above the $140 level, otherwise, it may fail.

Major Liquidation levels 

Currently, the major liquidation levels are near $135 on the lower side and $140.81 on the upper side. Traders are over-leverage at these levels, according to the coinglass Data.
