The Solana price today surged over 20%, hitting intraday highs near $176 before cooling off slightly around $172. On the weekly chart, SOL has convincingly reclaimed the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement level at $156, a zone that previously acted as a mid-cycle support. This reclaim now opens the door for a possible retest of the 0.382 Fib level at $189 — the next major resistance barrier in Solana’s recovery arc.
The Solana price action is being driven by a clean bullish breakout on the 4-hour chart, where price broke above a multi-week triangle formation and surged past multiple horizontal resistance zones, notably the $162–$167 band. This marks a strong technical shift as bulls absorb previous selling zones with volume.
Solana price spikes through EMA cluster, but key resistance looms
Momentum indicators on the 4-hour chart remain strongly bullish. The price is trading well above the 20/50/100/200 EMAs, with the shortest EMAs fanning out upward — a classic trend confirmation. The Bollinger Bands are widening, reflecting rising Solana price volatility, and the upper band is now pushing above $181. This suggests that if bulls retain control, a move toward that band is likely in the next 24 hours.
On the 30-minute chart, however, the RSI is cooling from overbought territory (currently near 57), and MACD shows weakening histogram bars despite remaining in bullish territory. This short-term loss in momentum could cause consolidation between $168 and $174 before any fresh leg higher. The upper resistance near $175–$176 is further reinforced by a descending trendline on the intraday chart, suggesting bulls may need more volume to breach it decisively.
Why Solana price going up today?
The short-term breakout has been fueled by a combination of strong technical structure and momentum shift across altcoins. Solana’s clean break of $160 triggered cascading buys, with confirmation from mid-timeframe trendline breaks and volume surges. Moreover, Solana price today is trading above its 50-day moving average for the first time since early April, which adds to the bullish tailwind.
On the daily chart, SOL has left behind a strong bullish engulfing candle with volume that wipes out the past week’s consolidation. Should the price sustain above $167, the next critical hurdle lies at $175, and a successful breakout there could set up a drive toward $189 — the 0.382 Fib retracement.
May 11 Outlook: Will Solana Maintain Its Momentum?
Looking ahead, Solana price will likely face short-term resistance near $175–$176. A decisive break above this level could accelerate gains toward $181 and possibly $189 in the near term. However, a rejection here would likely send price back to the $162–$167 region, which now acts as a key support zone. A loss of $162 could expose lower levels like $155 and even $147, though current indicators favor the bulls.
This Solana price update follows previous coverage where we highlighted the $155 level as a critical support — a level that now appears firmly reclaimed. With EMAs aligned and mid-timeframe RSI still supportive, the bias remains bullish for now.
