- Solana followed the previous forecast precisely, breaking out after trapping shorts at H4 supply
- Price has now reached a higher supply zone — making a short-term pullback or continuation equally likely
- Institutions need counterparty liquidity to move, and SOL’s recent moves are a masterclass in that principle
Last time we looked at Solana, I said this:
“Right now, SOL could reject this H4 supply. But there’s also a decent chance it simply builds short positions here to trap traders and then shoots higher — possibly reacting to the supply zone above.”
Well, guess what? That’s exactly what happened.
SOL didn’t just touch the H4 supply and fall — it played the long game.
It sat there, collected short orders like a magnet, lured sellers in with bearish setups, then boom — launched straight through resistance. Like clockwork.
This is something I never get tired of pointing out: institutions, market makers, whatever you want to call them — they don’t move price for fun.
Every push needs a counterparty. So if they want to go long, they need you (or someone like you) to go short. That’s where the magic happens. That’s where they create the illusion — patterns, trendlines, fake breakdowns — to bait the retail crowd.
Why the Move Up Was No Surprise
So now that we’ve seen price reach the next supply zone (yes, the one we mapped), we’ve got to ask: what next?
There are two main possibilities right now, and both are equally valid — depending on how Solana wants to play the liquidity game.
- Short-term pullback: Price might now react short from this upper supply zone. Why? Because there’s uncollected liquidity sitting below — untouched lows, untested demand, and a pretty clean trendline that a lot of traders are watching. You already know what that means: stop-loss central.
- Continued move higher: On the flip side, price could keep pushing north. There’s still liquidity stacked to the left — unfilled imbalances, inefficient moves, and zones that haven’t been tapped in a while. If buyers stay in control, we could see Solana reaching for those.
Either way, this is no longer “random movement.” It’s structured. It’s methodical. And if you’ve been watching carefully, it’s actually been very readable.
Solana’s Pattern of Traps and Breakouts
This entire move has been a case study in how markets trap traders. Let’s recap what happened:
- Price hit a key H4 supply.
- Instead of rejecting, it stalled… then began to slowly climb.
- Meanwhile, tons of traders likely entered shorts thinking it was a textbook reversal.
- Price then broke out aggressively — liquidating those shorts — and tagged the next higher supply.
This type of pattern is what I call intentional manipulation through structure. It’s not chaotic. It’s designed.
It reminds me of so many times where I’ve gotten caught on the wrong side of a move just because I trusted the first rejection.
Now, I wait. I ask myself: who’s trapped? Where’s the liquidity? Who’s feeding the next move?
And right now, the answer is layered.
So, What’s the Solana Price Prediction from Here?
Short-term? Don’t expect price to move in a straight line. Solana has options right now — and both directions are in play.
- If SOL decides to clear out the liquidity underneath, a move back toward key support levels around 147-148 isn’t off the table.
- But if the bulls hold control, we could see continuation toward the 160-162 zone, where even more historical liquidity sits.
So what’s the real solana price prediction?
It’s that price will likely react — not just move — and that these reactions are based on where liquidity lies. Follow the liquidity, and you’ll understand the logic.
Final Thoughts
Solana continues to be a fascinating asset for those who pay attention to structure and behavior. Last week’s play was a perfect example of accumulation → manipulation → distribution.
Now, whether price pulls back or breaks higher will depend on how much fuel is left in the tank and whether there’s enough liquidity for the next big move.
As always — stay flexible. Stay patient. Let the market show you what it wants. And remember, these scenarios are possible, but not guaranteed.
Because if there’s one rule that always holds in crypto, it’s this: price can — and will — do whatever it wants.
