Solana (SOL) is back in the spotlight after a decisive technical breakout reignited strong bullish momentum in the crypto market.
Renowned analyst Ali Martinez confirms Solana’s breakout from an ascending triangle, a bullish pattern pointing to trend continuation, with a mid-term target of $360.
The ascending triangle, a key bullish continuation pattern, forms when higher lows converge against a flat resistance. This buildup often erupts into a breakout as buyers overpower sellers.
Solana’s recent breakout from this setup underscores surging demand and cements its position as one of the market’s top performers this cycle.
The $360 target signals a potential new all-time high for Solana, surpassing January’s $293 peak. With blazing transaction speeds, minimal fees, and a vibrant dApp ecosystem, Solana has solidified its position as a top contender in the Layer-1 race against Ethereum.
 
Meanwhile, speculation is mounting on whether Solana’s $12.1 billion total value locked (TVL) could trigger a breakout toward the $300 price level.
At the time of this writing, SOL was trading at $234, according to CoinGecko data.
