Solana Triggers Long Thesis After Pushing Above $125 – Start Of A Bigger Rally?

Solana is trading above the $125 mark after bulls stepped in with force, reclaiming critical technical levels and bringing some relief to a market that had been dominated by selling pressure. After weeks of steep declines and heightened volatility, Solana is finally showing signs of strength as buyers return and confidence starts to rebuild.

The bounce came at a crucial moment, as SOL was on the verge of breaking into lower demand zones following a sharp 47% drop since early March. The shift in momentum has caught the attention of market participants, especially as broader market sentiment begins to stabilize.

Top analyst Big Cheds shared a technical analysis on X, suggesting that Solana has “triggered a long thesis overnight” after reclaiming several key levels on the chart. His comments are fueling speculation that this move could mark the beginning of a broader recovery phase for SOL—provided bulls can hold current levels and build momentum from here.

As traders monitor upcoming resistance and key indicators, the next few days will be crucial in determining whether Solana’s rally has legs—or if it’s just another short-lived bounce in a volatile macro environment.

Solana Surges 40% As Long Thesis Takes Shape

Solana has gained over 40% since last Monday, sparking renewed bullish sentiment and opening a debate among analysts and traders: is this the start of a sustained move higher, or will SOL consolidate around current prices? After weeks of persistent selling pressure, Solana has finally seen a wave of buying interest, bouncing strongly from a $95 low. This bounce marks one of the most aggressive reversals among major altcoins during the recent market correction.

The surge came shortly after US President Donald Trump announced a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs for all countries except China, which now faces a 145% tariff. The announcement sparked relief rallies across risk assets, with Solana among the top beneficiaries.

Big Ched’s analysis reveals that Solana triggered a long thesis after successfully reclaiming the $125 resistance level. This move is seen as a breakout confirmation, suggesting that a bullish structure may now be forming.

However, global tensions and trade war fears continue to inject uncertainty into financial markets. For Solana, holding above the $120–$125 support zone will be key in determining whether the recent bounce has staying power—or if further consolidation is in store.

Price Holds Above Key Moving Averages: Crucial Resistance Awaits

Solana (SOL) is trading at $131 after finally breaking above the 4-hour 200 Moving Average (MA) and Exponential Moving Average (EMA), which sat around $125 and $128, respectively. This move signals a potential short-term trend shift in favor of the bulls, who are now holding some advantage after reclaiming these critical technical levels. The breakout came on strong volume, reinforcing the bullish momentum that emerged from last week’s bounce off the $95 low.

However, for the rally to continue and higher highs to form, SOL must maintain its position above the $125 level and push toward the next major resistance around $146. Reclaiming this level would strengthen bullish conviction and confirm a recovery rally in the broader trend.

Despite the recent strength, risks remain. If Solana fails to hold above $125, the bullish setup could unravel quickly, and the price may revisit the $100 demand zone. With global market volatility still elevated due to ongoing macroeconomic tensions, traders are watching this support-resistance range closely to determine whether SOL can sustain upward momentum or return to consolidation.
