Solana price prediction – Swing traders should wait for THIS opportunity!

The Solana [SOL] blockchain emerged as the biggest revenue-generating chain of 2025, followed by Hyperliquid [HYPE]. Solana saw $1.3 billion in revenue, while Hyperliquid and third-placed TRON [TRX] revenues measured $816 million and $608 million, respectively.

The on-chain usage also remained consistently high. The positive outlook for Solana lasted for most of the year, but the 10/10 crash snuffed out bullish market sentiment. That sell-off sent SOL below the $200-mark, and it has been a bear-dominated market since.

Its strong blockchain performance was accompanied by a leverage-driven tug-of-war between SOL bulls and bears at the $120-support zone. At the time of writing, the $130-zone was a firm obstacle for the bulls, while the $120-area emerged as a support level.

The 1-day price structure was bearish. To flip it bullishly, SOL would need to close a daily trading session above $127.87, the local swing high. The evidence at hand did not show that such a move was brewing.

The CMF on the daily chart has been well below -0.05 over the past two months to indicate sustained, heavy capital flows out of the market. This selling pressure was accompanied by a strong downtrend, which has only lost strength over the last ten days.

The DMI showed a lack of trend at the time of writing, and a move past $130 could change this. The lack of demand meant traders would need patience.

Should traders expect a bullish reversal?

The downtrend has slowed down over the past month though. The capital outflows were severe, but a market structure shift could inspire bullish confidence.

This outcome did not seem likely at press time, but traders need to be open to the possibility.

The downtrend has slowed down, but an uptrend hasn’t been established yet. Instead, a short-term range between $117 and $128 was established, and lower timeframe traders can use this to their advantage.

Swing traders can wait for a move beyond the range to catch the next impulse move.

Final Thoughts

• Solana’s network activity and revenue generated in 2025 are evidence of a popular, successful chain.
• A bullish reversal for the altcoin would need Bitcoin to rally and market-wide sentiment to turn away from the depths of despair.
