After several days of decline across the crypto market, Solana has managed a short-term recovery. The situation looked grim earlier this morning, when Bitcoin fell below $90,000 for the first time in months, dragging many altcoins to fresh local lows. During this drop, Solana briefly dipped under $130.
However, since then, Bitcoin has rebounded to around $93,000, which appears to have helped lift Solana back to $141 – making it gain 4.3% on the day. Despite the bounce, Solana remains one of the weakest performers among major cryptocurrencies over the past month, still down more than 25%. Only Cardano has posted a worse 30-day return among the top 20 coins.

Oversold Indicators and Technical Rebound
Solana’s recent rebound was foreshadowed by momentum indicators. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) had dropped to oversold levels yesterday, with RSI(14) falling to 28, and RSI(7) as low as to 19. Now both metrics are back above 30, although not by much. This shift signals short-term exhaustion in selling, and may suggest potential for further upside if confirmed by price action.
Bollinger Bands are currently wide, indicating high volatility, with Solana’s price close to the lower band near $125. This configuration has historically been associated with possible mean-reversion moves back toward the middle band, which now sits near $160.
However, at this stage, price action remains below both the Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP) and the mid-Bollinger band, with no attempts to break out above the resistance so far.

Key Technical Levels
Solana is trading between the 100% Fibonacci retracement level at $129, which acted as support this morning, and the 78.6% retracement level at $156, now functioning as local resistance. This range has become a decision zone for traders.
A move above $156 could open the way to higher levels, such as the 61.8% retracement around $176. On the other hand, a return below $129 would signal a break of support, possibly reinforcing the existing downtrend.

Too Early to Celebrate?
Solana’s current movement is a technical rebound from oversold conditions, supported by a brief recovery in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. However, while key indicators such as RSI and Bollinger Bands point to temporary relief, the overall trend remains down unless price reclaims higher resistance levels.
The $129–$156 zone is shaping up as a short-term battleground. Until one of these levels is broken with sustained momentum, the direction remains uncertain.
