Solana SOL tests $81.20 support as risk rises to $71.92–$77.96
Solana (SOL) is testing a key monthly and 4-hour support area near $81.20. Analysts warn that a sustained breakdown could increase downside momentum and shift focus to the next support band at $71.92–$77.96.
On the monthly chart, SOL remains inside a descending channel and has seen failed recovery attempts, pushing price toward the lower boundary of its current range. The $81.20 level is the critical trigger. If SOL closes below $81.20 on the 4-hour (and ideally confirms on the monthly timeframe), the bearish case is activated and selling pressure may accelerate toward $71.92–$77.96.
If SOL holds above $81.20, the breakdown scenario stays unconfirmed and the market may continue ranging, with a possible rebound toward the middle or upper range.
MCO Global’s view is that losing $81.20 would likely open the path to $71.92–$77.96. Traders should watch how SOL reacts around $81.20 on both the monthly and 4-hour charts.
Bearish
This news is bearish for SOL because $81.20 is framed as the decisive breakdown level on both monthly and 4-hour charts. A confirmed close below $81.20 would likely strengthen sell-side momentum and drive price toward the next support zone at $71.92–$77.96. The description of failed recoveries within a descending monthly channel also supports the downside bias.
In the short term, traders may treat $81.20 as a trigger for momentum trades (risk-off positioning, stop placement, and potential short-term trend continuation). In the longer view, if SOL cannot reclaim and hold above $81.20, the higher-timeframe structure weakens, increasing the probability that the market transitions from “range” to “downside move.” Conversely, only if SOL holds above $81.20 does the scenario shift to neutral/sideways, reducing immediate downside odds.
