After Enduring An Unsteady Period, the Cryptocurrency Market Appears to Be Finally Settling

The Solana token has had a mixed price performance so far in 2025, running to as high as $260 in January and then losing half of its value three months later.

After enduring an unsteady period over the past few weeks, the cryptocurrency market appears to be finally settling, with most large-cap assets stabilizing within a consolidation range. The story was a little different for the Solana price, which is showing strong signs of resurgence in the last few days.

The Solana token has had a mixed price performance so far in 2025, running to as high as $260 in January and then losing half of its value three months later. Building on its latest recovery, a crypto trader has postulated on the social media platform X that the altcoin seems to be gearing for a significant run to the upside.

Can SOL’s Resurgence Fuel A Bigger Rally?

In an April 18 post on X, a crypto analyst with the pseudonym Cryptollica shared an exciting analysis of the Solana price. According to the chart highlighted by the online pundit, the price of SOL just bounced back from a critical support level, which could catalyze a move to around $2,000.

As observed in the chart, the Solana price appears to be persisting in an ascending channel on the one-hour timeframe. An ascending channel is a technical analysis pattern characterized by two major (upward-sloping) trendlines: the upper line linking the swing highs and the lower line connecting the swing lows.

The token’s price often persists within the ascending channel, with the upper trendline usually serving as resistance and the lower boundary line as a support zone. Investors can trade as prices swing between the pattern’s support and resistance levels or enter a position following a breakout (suggesting trend continuation) or breakdown (suggesting trend reversals).

The highlighted chart shows that the Solana price has been in and out of this ascending channel since mid-2020 before breaking out of it during the 2021 bull run. However, the price of SOL returned within the channel following the crash of the FTX exchange in November 2022.

The Solana price has persisted within this channel since 2022, finding support at the lower boundary line numerous times. The most recent bounce-back from this trendline came in March after the altcoin’s price fell toward the $100 level.

If this support level continues to hold, there is a possibility that the price of Solana could travel to as high as $2,000 by mid-2026. However, it is also worth noting that the SOL token would need to overcome a crucial resistance zone around $295. On the other hand, if the altcoin breaches and closes below the lower trendline, it could fall to as low as $20.
