With a substantial 4.81% uptick today, the Solana price appears to have moved past its recent consolidation, reaffirming bullish end-of-year projections for the altcoin.
While even leading altcoins did not escape the liquidation event unscathed, Solana has proven to be among the most resilient, down just 2.38% for the week.
Indeed, as trading volume dips 26% to $7.5 billion, the bears seem to have taken the back seat as the recent volatility appears to have subsided.
Solana Price Analysis: Is $295 Next?
A bullish breakout could be in play as the Solana price nears the end of a symmetrical triangle pattern forming since early November.
Despite a breakdown of the pattern during the early week $1.6 billion market-wide liquidation event, Solana has returned to attempt a bullish breakout.
This time, though, the bulls appear to be taking the lead as the MACD line affirms a decisive crossover above the signal line. Historically, this move has coincided with significant upticks in the Solana price.
Particularly with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) in a more favorable position, at a neutral but bullish-leaning 56, the foundation for a breakout attempt seems strong.
If the pattern materializes, a breakout would set a price target at a new all-time high of $295 towards the year’s end, representing an almost 30% advance on current prices.
Could Solana Go Higher?
Looking wider, a potential breakout from this point could continue the breakout path of a cup-and-handle pattern forming since late 2021.
The breakout from the pattern’s handle in late November has been somewhat stalled by recent volatility, but a potential turnaround could set the sights back to its target of $380, a massive 60% jump from current prices.
This target is much more credible running into 2025, particularly as fundamentals like potential Solana ETF approval stand to bolster the altcoin’s trajectory.
