According to Runefelt, Solana has successfully retested a massive triangle pattern on the weekly timeframe. This critical retest suggests that Solana’s price action remains intact and could serve as a launching pad for a significant rally shortly. While broader market corrections have weighed down short-term sentiment, Solana’s ability to maintain its structural integrity amidst the downturn provides a glimmer of hope for bulls. If SOL can sustain its current levels and build momentum, it may soon recover lost ground and chart a path toward new highs. Analysts closely watch how Solana responds to this crucial technical signal, as it could define the altcoin’s trajectory in the coming weeks. Solana Holding A Bullish Structure Despite a 30% retrace from its all-time high, Solana (SOL) maintains a bullish structure on higher timeframes, signaling long-term strength. This resilience has analysts and investors optimistic about Solana’s potential to outperform once the market regains momentum. Known for its strong fundamentals and rapid adoption, SOL remains a favorite among traders who are anticipating the next altcoin rally. Top crypto analyst Carl Runefelt recently shared a detailed technical analysis on X, highlighting an encouraging pattern for Solana. Runefelt revealed that SOL has successfully retested a massive triangle formation on the weekly timeframe, a critical milestone for its bullish trajectory. According to his analysis, if Solana can hold firmly above the $180 mark, the cryptocurrency could surge to $330 in the coming weeks. This projection aligns with expectations that Solana will be a frontrunner in the next market-wide rally.

Bitcoin, the market leader, has struggled to reclaim the $100K level, and negative sentiment continues to weigh on traders’ confidence. This lingering doubt poses challenges for altcoins like Solana, which often depend on a strong Bitcoin performance to sustain rallies. Testing Crucial Demand Solana is currently trading at $185, showing resilience after successfully holding the 200-day exponential moving average (EMA) at $175. This key level is often regarded as a strong indicator of long-term market strength, and SOL’s ability to defend it underscores the asset’s bullish potential. On a weekly timeframe, Solana continues to make higher lows, signaling a positive trend despite recent market volatility. This price action suggests that buyers remain confident in SOL’s long-term prospects, stepping in to defend critical support levels. If the $175 mark continues to act as a strong foundation, Solana is well-positioned for a quick recovery in the days ahead.

However, if SOL loses this critical support, it may face increased selling pressure. Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView

Crypto analyst Behdark has provided an in-depth analysis of the Dogecoin price roadmap to its current all-time high (ATH) of $0.75. In his analysis, he explains why Dogecoin could still witness a significant correction before it rallies to its current ATH.  Dogecoin Price Next Wave Is Bearish In a TradingView post, Behdark stated that the Dogecoin price seems to be entering wave F, which is a bearish wave. The crypto analyst noted that the previous corrective waves of this diametric lasted between 196 and 347 days, so this wave F is also expected to last between 196 and 347 days.  Related Reading: Bitcoin $178K Target In Sight? Analyst Highlights Bollinger Band Retest Mirroring Jan. 2024 Rally The analyst’s accompanying chart showed that the Dogecoin price could drop to as low as $0.15 on this wave F corrective move. Similar to waves B and D, the analyst remarked that this corrective wave is expected to be highly volatile. Based on the 196 to 347-day timeline, this corrective wave might not end until sometime in November 2025.  Once the corrective wave F is done, the Dogecoin price will transition to wave G. Behdark stated that Wave G will be a bullish wave that might lead to a new ATH. The accompanying chart showed that Dogecoin could reach around $0.8 on this impulsive move to the upside. However, the much-anticipated psychological $1 price level could still elude the foremost meme coin.  Meanwhile, the crypto analyst added that a weekly candle below the invalidation level at $0.12 would invalidate the buy outlook for the green zone between $0.15 and $0.20. Behdark’s analysis provides a completely different perspective for the Dogecoin price, considering that crypto analysts like Trader Tardigrade have predicted that the meme coin could rally to double digits before mid-2025.  Behdark’s analysis also suggests that the Dogecoin price is unlikely to reach $1 in this market cycle, a target market participants have set their eyes on since the meme coin began its parabolic rally between October and November.  Four-Year Cycle Still In Play Crypto analyst KrissPax provided a more bullish outlook for the Dogecoin price, stating that the four-year cycle is still in play. The analyst cited a historical pattern in which Dogecoin took off in January 2021 after an uptrend in late December 2020. He then raised the possibility of this historical trend repeating itself again.  Related Reading: XRP Battles Critical $2.20 Support Level — Will It Target $2.70 Or Slip To $1.96? Crypto analyst Master Kenobi had before now also suggested that a Dogecoin price rebound was likely in January 2025 as he alluded to the historical pattern in the 2021 bull run. The crypto analyst believes that Dogecoin could reach a new ATH around Donald Trump’s inauguration, especially with the Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E) coming to life when Trump takes office.  At the time of writing, the Dogecoin price is trading at around $0.31, down almost 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.  Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com
