Solana (SOL) Price: Back at the Buy Zone That Sparked a Massive Rally Last Cycle

TLDR

• SOL is trading around $80–$85, a zone that triggered massive rallies in past cycles.
• A liquidation heatmap shows short pressure building between $84 and $87.
• The key level to watch is $106.24 — a break above that would signal a return of bullish momentum.
• Analyst Crypto Patel notes SOL is back at the same buy zone that pumped it 2,200% last cycle.
• A large triangle pattern on the chart could lead to a breakout toward $250–$300 if buyers hold support.

Solana is trading near $80 to $85 at the time of writing, a zone that has played a key role in previous market cycles. The price dropped more than 70% from its 2025 highs before landing back in this range.

This isn’t the first time SOL has been here. In 2021, the price ran from just a few dollars to over $250. After a heavy drop in 2022, it fell close to $10, rebuilt, and then pushed to new highs near $290 in the next cycle.

Crypto Patel, a widely followed analyst on X, made note of this directly. In a recent post, Patel wrote: “$SOL is back at the same buy zone that pumped it 2,200% last cycle. Will it hit $1000 in alt season?” The tweet points to a pattern that has repeated across multiple cycles, where this price range served as a launchpad for large moves higher.

Key Levels to Watch

A SOL liquidation heatmap shared by CoinAnk shows short positions building in the $84 to $87 zone. Price dipped to around $81 before rebounding toward that upper cluster. Liquidation heatmaps track where leveraged positions could be forced closed if price reaches certain levels.

Analyst Don has shared a chart showing $106.24 as the next key level SOL needs to reclaim. Until that level is cleared, the chart does not show a confirmed return of bullish momentum. Above $106, a further target sits at $260.17, though that remains well out of reach for now. If buyers fail to hold the current zone, the chart points to a possible drop back to $80 or lower.

Triangle Pattern Adds More Pressure

Analyst Javon Marks shared a chart showing SOL locked inside a large triangle pattern. The structure shows lower highs and higher lows forming over a long period, which typically compresses price before a larger move.

Solana is currently sitting near the lower edge of that triangle, around $75 to $85. If buyers defend that level, the breakout targets come in around $250 to $300. A break below the mid-$60s, however, would weaken the pattern and put the $45 area into focus.

At the time of writing, SOL is still holding inside the current support zone between $80 and $90, with $106.24 remaining the next major level for bulls to reclaim.
