Crypto traders looking for clues on the next possible move in programmable blockchain Solana's SOL token should closely track the digital asset's months-long triangular price consolidation.
That's the message from analysts at Fairlead Strategies, who see a potential triangle breakout as a catalyst for a renewed price rally.

SOL, the world's fifth-largest market value, nearly doubled to over $200 in the first quarter as spot bitcoin ETF debut in the U.S. galvanized bids for the broader market. Since then, the uptrend has lost steam, with pullbacks supported at around $120 and progressively shallower price recoveries.
That has resulted in a so-called descending triangle pattern, comprising a downward sloping trendline, representing lower highs and a flat trendline, representing a solid support level. The pattern indicates seller dominance; hence, a breakout represents renewed upside momentum.
"A breakout would mark a bullish continuation of the long-term uptrend, putting secondary resistance near $202. Triangle support is near $132," analysts at Fairlead Strategies said in a note to clients Monday.
"We hold a neutral bias until a breakout unfolds," analysts added.
Solana changed hands at $155 at press time, according to CoinDesk data.

The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.
