Technical Indicators Suggest Binary Outcome at Multi-Year Resistance
Multi-year chart analysis reveals a massive cup and handle formation, with SOL trading at $231.34, near critical resistance around $260-280, representing the 2021 cycle highs.
The pattern’s measured move theoretically targets a $400 – $500 range, representing 70-115% upside from current levels.

Failure at resistance could trigger a correction toward $150 – $180 support levels, with extended consolidation within $200 – $280 range also possible.
