Solana Holds at $76 as $80 Decision Zone Shapes Next Move

Reclaiming $80 would likely trigger short-liquidations that push prices higher.

Overview

  • SOL is trading near $76 and is testing critical support around $73–$76 with the short-term bullish falling wedge still intact but fragile.
  • Derivatives heatmaps show a large short‑liquidation cluster near $79.5–$80 and concentrated long‑liquidation pockets around $74–$75, which could cause rapid moves if those bands are breached.
  • On‑chain activity and liquidity remain healthy with active addresses and throughput near yearly highs and Circle’s reported 250 million USDC mint on Solana adding network liquidity.
  • Macro pressure from rising U.S. Treasury yields and weaker institutional flows has reduced fresh buying power and leaves any technical recovery conditional on improved macro signals.
  • If SOL closes above $79.5–$80 it could open targets near $83–$84 then $90–$100 while a decisive close below $73 would likely invalidate the bullish thesis and invite deeper declines.
