Liquidations Rock the Market, but Solana Clings to Key Levels – Is $300 in Sight?

With today’s 4.27% price lapse, the Solana price finds itself at a critical juncture as it retests crucial supports to its uptrend so far. Losing which, stands to derail bullish end-of-year projections for the front-running altcoin.

These levels mark a potential turning point from the 4.01% loss over the past week, highlighting a crucial moment for reinstating Solana’s path to a new all-time high.

Particularly amidst elevated trader activity, with trading volume surging 154% to $9.62 billion over the past 24 hours, increased volatility stands to bolster Solana’s next move.

Bitcoin Dip Sparks Liquidation Landslide

Bitcoin’s sudden dip to $94,000 sparked market-wide volatility, with increased supply pressure triggering over $1.6 billion in liquidation over a 24-hour window, according to coinglass data.

The event marks the biggest since 2021. While the short side has lost only $154.6 million, the majority of the losses stem from long-side optimistic traders.

This ongoing pullback is assumed to be a long squeeze, as heightened optimism led to highly leveraged positions being liquidated.

Solana Price Analysis: Is $300 Next?

The recent downtrend appears poised to come to a head as the Solana price holds strong following a test of a critical support juncture.

The altcoin seems to have made a decisive bounce from the lower support of a descending channel pattern forming since its last high. This bounce not only affirms the pattern’s integrity but also solidifies a support zone between $210.58 and $203.56.

This strong backing makes a reversal credible, eyeing an advance towards a retest of the pattern’s upper boundary next. Even more so, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) stint in oversold territory lends to a bullish correction.

Given the Solana price finds the momentum for a bullish breakout of the pattern, it would set a price target around $275, though the uptrend could well continue towards the $300 mark.
