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 often serving as resistance and the lower boundary line serving 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 (indicating 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 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 cushion 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 strong, there is a likelihood 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 flip side, if the altcoin breaches and closes beneath the lower trendline, it could fall to as low as $20.
Solana Price At A Glance
As of this writing, the price of Solana stands at around $134, reflecting no significant change in the past day. According to CoinGecko data, the cryptocurrency is up by more than 10% in the past seven days.

Opeyemi is a proficient writer and enthusiast in the exciting and unique cryptocurrency realm. While the digital asset industry was not his first choice, he has remained absolutely drawn since making a foray into the space over two years. Now, Opeyemi takes pride in creating unique pieces unraveling the complexities of blockchain technology and sharing insights on the latest trends in the world of cryptocurrencies.
Opeyemi savors his attraction to the crypto market, which explains why he spends the better parts of his day looking through different price charts. “Looking” is a rather simple way to describe analyzing and interpreting various price patterns and chart formations. However, it appears that is not Opeyemi’s favorite part – in fact, far from it.
Being able to connect what happens on a price chart to on-chain movements and blockchain activities is what keeps Opeyemi ticking. “This emphasizes the intricacies of blockchain technology and the cryptocurrency market,” he would say. Most importantly, Opeyemi thinks of any market insights as the gospel, while recognizing that he is only a messenger.
When he is not clicking away at his keyboard, Opeyemi is most definitely listening to music, playing games, reading a book, or scrolling through X. He likes to think he is not loyal to a particular genre of music, which can be true on many days. However, the fast-rising Afrobeats genre is a staple in Opeyemi’s Spotify Daily Mix.
Meanwhile, Opeyemi is a voracious reader who enjoys a wide category of books – ranging from science fiction, fantasy, and historical, to even romance. He believes that authors like George R. R. Martin and J. K.
Rowling are the greatest of all time when it comes to putting pen to paper. Opeyemi believes his reading of the Harry Potter series twice is proof of that.
Indeed, Opeyemi enjoys spending most of his time within the four walls of his home. However, he also sometimes finds solace in the company of his friends at a bar, a restaurant, or even on a stroll. In essence, Opeyemi’s ambivert (haha! been searching for an opportunity to use the word to describe myself) nature makes him a social chameleon who is able to quickly adapt to different settings.
Opeyemi recognizes the need to constantly develop oneself in order to stay afloat in a competitive and ever-evolving market like crypto. For this reason, he is always in learning mode, ready to pick up the slightest lesson from every situation. Opeyemi is efficient and likes to deliver all that is required of him in time – he believes that “whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well.” Hence, you will always find him striving to be better.
Ultimately, Opeyemi is a good writer and an even better person who is trying to shed light on an exciting world phenomenon – cryptocurrency. He goes to bed every day with a smile of satisfaction on his face, knowing that he has done his bit of the holy assignment – spreading the crypto gospel to the rest of the world.
