Solana (SOL) has seen its rally slow down in the last few days, dropping 23% from its new all-time high (ATH) and over 8% in the past day. Some investors worry about the Altcoin’s short-term performance as the crypto market pulls back.

Solana Drops To Lowest Level In A Month

Solana has been one of the leading cryptocurrencies this cycle, outperforming most of the market and stealing the headlines. Unlike most altcoins, the cryptocurrency outperformed during the Q2 and Q3 retraces, holding above pre-bull run levels.

As Q4 started, Solana continued to hover within the $110-$180 price range, breaking above this range after the market’s post-election pump. SOL’s momentum propelled the token past its yearly high and successfully reclaimed the $200 barrier.

The token continued to climb higher until its new ATH of $263 on November 23. Since then, Solana hovered between the $245-$220 price range, fueling investors’ optimism about the altcoin’s next “price discovery” move.

Nonetheless, SOL’s price has taken a blow in the past day alongside Bitcoin and the rest of the crypto market. Solana saw an 8.7% correction in the last 24 hours, falling to the $210 support level before dropping below it.

The cryptocurrency is now retesting the key $200-$210 zone as support for the first time since breaking past it, falling below the $205 level on Tuesday morning. Crypto analyst Altcoin Sherpa shared a possible bearish outlook for SOL’s short-term performance based on the ongoing price retest.

Per the post, “SOL weakness has been pretty obvious, and it’s being reflected in the sol shitcoin price action as well.” The analysts explained that the current price action looks seemingly underwhelming, suggesting that holding the $200-$210 region is crucial.

Failing to hold this zone would likely send the price to the pre-election resistance level of $180, which has not been tested as support since breaking above it over a month ago.

SOL Eyes Higher Targets

Similarly, Crypto Jack forecasted a potential fall to the $180-$160 range if SOL fails its retest of the $200 mark as support. However, he considers the over 10% drop a “buy the dip” opportunity for investors.

According to his potential play for Solana, the cryptocurrency would bounce to its ATH levels and attempt to break past them. Other market watchers pointed out that SOL is currently retesting the weekly and monthly timeframe resistance as support, which could see Solana go higher “as long as it holds.”

Crypto analyst Jelle reaffirmed his $600 target for the cryptocurrency, noting that it “performed incredibly during the first year of the cycle” and will “be a winner again in the coming months.”

Meanwhile, Bitwise’s latest report predicted that SOL could rally over 200% in 2025. The asset manager’s CIO, Matt Hougan, and Head of Research, Ryan Rasmussen, consider that the altcoin’s momentum “is just beginning to build,” predicting it will hit $750 next year.

At the time of writing, Solana is trading at $204, an 8.5% and 3.1% decline in the daily and monthly timeframe.

Rubmar is a writer and translator who has been a crypto enthusiast for the past four years. Her goal as a writer is to create informative, complete, and easily understandable pieces accessible to those entering the crypto space. After learning about cryptocurrencies in 2019, Rubmar became curious about the world of possibilities the industry offered, quickly learning that financial freedom was at the palm of her hand with the developing technology.

From a young age, Rubmar was curious about how languages work, finding special interest in wordplay and the peculiarities of dialects. Her curiosity grew as she became an avid reader in her teenage years. She explored freedom and new words through her favorite books, which shaped her view of the world. Rubmar acquired the necessary skills for in-depth research and analytical thinking at university, where she studied Literature and Linguistics. Her studies have given her a sharp perspective on several topics and allowed her to turn every stone in her investigations.

In 2019, she first dipped her toes in the crypto industry when a friend introduced her to Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, but it wasn’t until 2020 that she started to dive into the depth of the industry. As Rubmar began to understand the mechanics of the crypto sphere, she saw a new world yet to be explored.

At the beginning of her crypto voyage, she discovered a new system that allowed her to have control over her finances. As a young adult of the 21st century, Rubmar has faced the challenges of the traditional banking system and the restrictions of fiat money.

After the failure of her home country’s economy, the limitations of traditional finances became clear. The bureaucratic, outdated structure made her feel hopeless and powerless amid an aggressive and distorted system created by hyperinflation. However, learning about decentralization and self-custody opened a realm of opportunities. Cryptocurrencies allowed her to experience financial control for the first time and expand her financial education.

Moreover, the peculiar nature of the crypto community sparked Rubmar’s curiosity about the other layers of the industry. As a result, she found a particular interest in discovering the diverse perspectives of investors, market watchers, experts, and developers. Her attempts to better understand the crypto space made her realize the strong links of the community with other industries, enriching her perspective of the sector. As someone who spends most of her day online, Rubmar enjoys finding the points where the crypto world meets with her other passions and hobbies –or her favorite memes.

In her free time, she usually finds joy in different art forms. As a child, she enlisted in every extra-curricular activity in her hometown, including music classes, dancing, jewelry making, and the local chorus. Despite her many attempts to learn different instruments, Rubmar only knows how to play the xylophone, which she played for 7 years in her school’s marching band.

She also has a passion for learning new languages and cultures, having set the goal to learn another six languages – currently attempting to learn Italian and Korean. Scrapbooking, paper crafting, and bookbinding are her biggest interests outside of work, constantly taking classes and attending workshops to learn new techniques. The rest of her free time is spent stressing over football matches and transfer market news or feeding cats –hers or stray.

In summary, Rubmar seeks to present entertaining and educational pieces to be enjoyed by everybody, aiming to report on the latest news and offer a unique perspective while adding a meme or a pun whenever possible.
