Solana is trading near a key price zone as two charts show the same main setup: SOL has stopped making large moves and now sits inside a tight range. One chart shows three months of low volatility near $85, while another places Solana close to a support zone that started a major rally in the last cycle. Together, the charts suggest that SOL may be building pressure for a larger move, but the direction depends on whether price breaks above resistance or loses support.
Solana Compression Signals Bigger Move After Three Month Range
Solana traded near $84.82 on the 3 day SOL/USDT perpetual chart shared by Daan Crypto Trades. The chart shows SOL moving inside a tight range after a sharp decline earlier in 2026.
The price has stayed near the same zone for about three months, with the main range sitting around the high $70s to mid $90s. A dotted support line appears near $78.85, while the upper part of the range sits close to the $95 to $100 area.

Daan Crypto Trades said SOL has been stuck in a roughly 10% range for three months. He also noted that Solana is seeing its lowest volatility in years. That means price movement has become narrow compared with previous SOL market cycles.
The chart shows this compression clearly. After strong price swings in 2024 and 2025, SOL now moves sideways inside a small box. However, long periods of low volatility often come before a larger move, because buying and selling pressure builds while price stays trapped.
The next direction depends on which side breaks first. If SOL breaks above the upper range with a clear 3 day candle close, buyers could push the price toward a larger recovery leg. However, if SOL loses the lower range and drops below the $78 area, sellers could take control again.
Daan said the move after the breakout may reach 20% to 30%. Based on the current price near $85, a 20% move higher would place SOL near $102, while a 30% move would put it near $110. A similar move lower would place SOL near the $68 to $64 zone.
For now, the chart does not confirm a breakout. Solana remains inside the compression zone, and the next strong move depends on a clean break above resistance or below support.
Solana Returns to Buy Zone as Chart Maps $1,000 Target
Solana traded near $85.57 on the weekly SOL/USDT chart shared by Crypto Patel. The chart shows SOL sitting close to a marked support and entry zone, after falling from the upper range near the $200 area.
Crypto Patel said Solana is back near the same buy zone that preceded a major rally in the last cycle. The chart compares the current area with the 2023 breakout and retest zone, where SOL later moved sharply higher.

The support area sits around $52 to $72, based on the Fibonacci levels shown on the chart. SOL is now trading above that zone, while the nearest marked price level appears near $74.72.
The chart also shows a 0.618 Fibonacci level near $52.11, a 0.5 level near $72.55, and a 0.382 level near $101.00. These levels mark possible areas where price could react if SOL moves lower or starts recovering.
The main resistance remains much higher. Crypto Patel marked a major resistance zone around the $225 to $285 area, near Solana’s previous cycle highs. The chart also shows upside levels at $500 and $1,000, with a projected move pointing toward the top target.
However, SOL has not confirmed that larger breakout yet. The price still needs to recover above the lower resistance area near $101, then reclaim stronger zones near $135 and $225 before the $500 and $1,000 targets become chart relevant.
The projected path shows a possible rally of about 1,901% from the lower support zone toward $1,000. Still, the chart presents this as a technical scenario, not a confirmed move.
For now, Solana remains near a key weekly support region. A strong hold above the buy zone could support a recovery setup. However, a breakdown below the $52 to $72 area would weaken the bullish structure shown on the chart.
