Solana has pushed above $85 following a broader crypto market rally driven by Bitcoin breaking above $74,000 on April 13.
SOL gained around 5.2% on Monday, trading at approximately $86.23 with a market cap of $49.65 billion, according to CoinMarketCap.
The move came after SOL broke above a bearish trend line at $83.60 on the hourly chart. Price reached a high of $86.85 before consolidating.
SOL is now trading above the 100-hourly simple moving average. Daily trading volume rose 31% to around $5.11 billion.
The overall crypto market cap rose 3.77% to over $2.51 trillion. Ethereum also gained 7.55%, crossing $2,368.
Bitcoin’s rally followed U.S. President Donald Trump announcing a ceasefire to support ongoing peace talks.
Key Price Levels to Watch
On the upside, SOL faces resistance at $88, then $92. A close above $92 could open the door toward $100 and potentially $102.
If SOL fails to clear $88, initial support sits at $85.50, then $84.00, which aligns with the 50% Fibonacci retracement of the recent move from $81.32 to $86.85.
A break below $82 could push price toward $76.50.
Analyst Ali Charts noted on X that the main long-term support for SOL is at $49, sitting within the mid-range of an ascending channel. He placed immediate macro resistance at $108.
