Crypto analyst Crypto Patel has made a bullish case for Solana, explaining why it is time to start paying attention to the crypto asset. This came as he noted that $SOL has printed 8 consecutive red monthly candles for the first time in its history.
Why It Is Time To Start Paying Attention To Solana
In an X post, Crypto Patel stated that Solana had just printed 8 consecutive red monthly candles in its existence and that this is worth paying attention to. He reiterated that this has never happened and then cited the 2021 bear cycle to explain why this could be significant for $SOL. The analyst noted that back then, $SOL crashed to around $8 after it topped at its all-time high ($ATH) of $260 in November 2021.
Crypto Patel mentioned that the 2021 bear phase also produced 9 red monthly candles, but that they were not consecutive. The 9th red candle is said to have marked the exact bottom at $8. Following the bear market bottom, $SOL then went on to record a brand new $ATH near $295 over the following years.

The analyst noted that the current setup appears different and arguably stronger, with $SOL forming 8 consecutive red candles, from a high of $253 down to a low of $67, and now the 9th monthly red candle is forming. He said that market participants have to wait for this month’s close before confirming anything, but that history has provided a familiar map.
Crypto Patel further explained that if the 9th candle plays out as in the last bear cycle, it would signal a potential macro accumulation zone. He highlighted the $80 to $50 zone as the accumulation range to watch if the price extends lower. Meanwhile, if the fractal repeats itself, the analyst predicts that $SOL could rally to a new $ATH between $500 and $1,000.
$SOL Likely Heading Back To $67
In an X post, crypto analyst Jack Adams stated that he is almost certain that Solana is heading back to retest between $67 and $58 once more before it reverses to between $120 and $175 this year. He also mentioned that, based on the $SOL/BTC and ETH charts, the crash should happen quickly rather than a slow bleed with regard to the buy zone.
Meanwhile, the analyst declared that the key monthly zone is within reach before the next bull cycle happens. He made this statement based on the previous monthly wicks and the area where it got heavily rejected earlier this year. $SOL has notably suffered one of the largest crashes as the Bitcoin price extends its decline.
At the time of writing, the Solana price is trading at around $70, down over 5% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
