Solana is back at the level that once broke the bulls. SOL USD is trading at $91.35, up 3.72% over the past 24 hours, pressing against the $90-94 supply zone that has capped every significant rally since early spring. The question driving the increased volume is whether this attempt will end differently than previous ones, and the answer could come sooner than expected.
Trading volume jumped 35% to $5.3 billion in the past 24 hours, representing approximately 11% of SOL’s outstanding market capitalization, an unusually high turnover rate that signals true conviction rather than restricted market noise. According to Artemis data, weekly volumes recently reached their highest levels since early March.
Meanwhile, Brave New Coin reports that increased liquidations are forcing the capitulation of short sellers, while large inflows into futures add upward pressure on prices. Solana ETF products attracted inflows for eight consecutive days, accumulating $50 million during this period, bringing the total assets held in these vehicles to $863 million.
The context is, however, complex. SOL has lost 2.4% over the past 30 days, while Bitcoin and Ethereum have each returned around 12%, a divergence that reflects the prolonged contraction of the coin market and Solana’s heavy reliance on speculative activity. This underperformance sets the stage for potentially significant catch-up or continued lag. Previous analysis from Coinspeaker identified this same $90-$100 corridor as the defining battleground for SOL’s mid-term trajectory.

Can SOL USD price break $95 and target $110 this week?
(SOURCE: TradingView)
The technical structure entering this week is the most constructive SOL USD has shown in months. The price rebounded from an intraday low near $87.50 and has since consolidated in a tight range, with the compression of the Bollinger band suggesting that the market is expecting a directional move.
Immediate resistance lies between $94 and $96, followed by a denser cluster EMA around $98 and $100. A clear break above $96 would expose the 50-day SMA near $110, a level that CoinPaper and other analysts have identified as the first significant upside target on a confirmed breakout.
Three scenarios deserve to be clearly defined:
- Case of the bull: SOL holds $80 as support, breaks $90 in volume and targets $110-120 over the next two to three weeks as short covering accelerates.
- Base case: The price is hovering between $82 and $92, consolidating further ahead of an attempted breakout into the next major macro catalyst window.
- Bear/invalidation: A daily close below $84 reopens the $82-$78 range; Coinpedia estimates a 10-15% withdrawal risk if the current rejection pattern repeats itself. Longer term downside targets are between $75 and $65.
WalletInvestor’s 12-month model places USD SOL at $158.27, while the more aggressive bullish scenario cited by Brave New Coin envisions $360 by early 2027, a projection that assumes sustained network-level demand well beyond coin cycles. Recent support/resistance charting reinforces $88 to $90 as the line in the sand for any constructive medium-term reading.
LiquidChain Targets Early Moves Upside as Solana Tests Key Levels
Solana testing $90 is important for another reason: it precisely illustrates the fragmentation problem that defines the current crypto landscape. SOL, ETH, and BTC each operate in largely siled liquidity environments, a structural inefficiency that has proven difficult to resolve without sacrificing execution quality or introducing new assumptions of trust. This problem is the specific target of LiquidChain, a layer 3 infrastructure project currently trading under the ticker $LIQUID.
LiquidChain’s core proposition is a unified liquidity layer that combines Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana liquidity into a single execution environment, allowing developers to deploy once and access all three ecosystems without bridging overhead or fragmented settlement. The architecture also incorporates verifiable settlement and single-step execution, designed to eliminate multi-hop routing that inflates costs and latency in current cross-chain setups.
The presale is currently priced at $0.01452 per $LIQUID, with $693,000 raised to date. As with any early-stage token offering, the project carries significant execution and liquidity risk; independent due diligence is warranted before any allocation decision. Those looking for opportunity can
