Solana (SOL) has staged a notable comeback in the past 24 hours, outpacing many of its crypto counterparts. However, amidst the excitement, analysts are sounding a note of caution, suggesting the recent rally could be a classic bull trap.
Crypto analyst CrediBULL Crypto has voiced concerns about Solana’s bullish trajectory against Bitcoin (BTC). In a tweet, the analyst cautioned, “If we can get past this cluster of resistance here new local highs will come next.
That being said, I think all those built-up lows below us ultimately end up getting swept, so don’t get euphoric if we do take the highs here.” This suggests a potential breakout followed by a sharp pullback, leaving investors caught off guard.
Solana’s price currently stands at $151.34, representing a 7.32% increase in the past 24 hours. While this is encouraging, it’s essential to consider the broader picture. SOL has declined by 16.98% over the past week, indicating underlying volatility. The price has rebounded from around $120 and is nearing the middle Bollinger Band, suggesting potential price swings.
Technical indicators offer a mixed outlook. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 46.90 suggests neither overbought nor oversold conditions, leaving room for further upward movement. The MACD histogram, while negative, is narrowing, hinting at potential bullish momentum. However, overcoming the $160 resistance level remains crucial for a sustained uptrend.
The potential for Solana-based exchange-traded funds (ETFs) has ignited debate. VanEck’s Head of Digital Assets Research, Mathew Sigel, is optimistic about the timeline for Solana ETFs. In contrast, industry giant BlackRock maintains a cautious stance, deeming such a development premature.
Solana’s network activity remains robust. DefiLlama reports 1.04 million active addresses and 32.55 million transactions in the past 24 hours. Total Value Locked (TVL) stands at $4.808 billion, reflecting a day-over-day increase of 8.61%. While active addresses demonstrate a steady upward trend, TVL has experienced fluctuations, with peaks in late 2021 and a sharp rise in 2024.

Solana’s journey has been characterized by rapid ascents and subsequent corrections. Its performance since October last year has attracted significant investor interest, leading to heightened volatility.
As Solana navigates this period of heightened uncertainty, investors would be wise to exercise caution and consider the potential for a market reversal. While the recent rally is encouraging, the possibility of a bull trap cannot be dismissed.
