Technical Indicators Align for Solana as Bulls Target $180 Barrier Next
Solana has gained nearly 10% in the past few days, with bulls showing signs of reclaiming control. Positive technical indicators, including a rising RSI and BoP, support the rally — but SOL now faces a crucial resistance level at $176.33 that will determine whether further gains are possible.
Popular altcoin Solana has seen a modest recovery, climbing upward since August 2. Despite earlier weakness, the token has since rallied nearly 10%, reaching $171.91 at press time.
The uptick suggests a potential shift in sentiment, with technical indicators hinting at a continuation of the uptrend.
SOL Price Recovery Gains Steam

The BoP measures the strength of buyers versus sellers in the market. It compares the price movement within a trading period to determine which side has more control. BoP values typically oscillate between -1 and +1.
A positive BoP suggests that buyers are dominating, pushing prices higher by closing near the top of the range, while a negative BoP indicates that sellers have the upper hand, closing prices near the bottom of the range.
For SOL, its current positive BoP reading signals that bulls are gaining market control, strengthening the ongoing price recovery.Furthermore, the climbing Relative Strength Index (RSI) adds to the bullish outlook for SOL. This key momentum indicator currently stands at 51.65, ticking up, indicating a steady rise in buy-side pressure.

The RSI indicator measures an asset’s overbought and oversold market conditions. It ranges between 0 and 100. Values above 70 suggest that the asset is overbought and due for a price decline, while values under 30 indicate that the asset is oversold and may witness a rebound.
At 51.65 and climbing, SOL’s RSI suggests strengthening bullish momentum. Its buyers are gradually regaining control, leaving room for further upside if demand continues to build.
SOL Price Approaches Make-or-Break Moment
A sustained wave of buying pressure could fuel a breakout above SOL’s immediate resistance at $176.33.
If this level is cleared with strong momentum, SOL may be poised to push past the psychological barrier at $180, opening the door to further gains.

However, a shift in sentiment or renewed profit-taking could prevent this. If bears regain control, SOL’s price risks a pullback toward the $158.80 support level, erasing recent gains.

Tech Stocks Plunge, Safe-Haven U.S. Treasury Trades Return? 10-Year U.S. Treasury Yield Drops to Three-Week Low
If AI capital expenditure slows down, a sudden halt in computing power construction will severely impact the supply chain while lowering market expectations for demand in electricity, commodities, and high-end hardware. This not only leads to a correction of overvalued assets, but also undermines growth expectations and inflation premiums, ultimately benefiting bonds. This logic is highly similar to the macroeconomic landscape during the bursting of the internet bubble in 2000, when the Nasdaq collapsed and the yield on 10-year US Treasury bonds dropped from a high of 6.5% to the 4% range.
