Points of Focus

• Solana held the $75-$76 support after confirming a bullish breakout.
• Solana ranked first with $1.18 billion in 24-hour DEX volume.
• Growing network activity keeps $84 in focus, with $79-$85 as the next resistance zone.

Solana (SOL) traded at $76.39 at the time of writing, holding a key support level as market-leading decentralized exchange (DEX) activity reinforced the bullish case for a move toward $84. The token continues to defend the $75-$76 breakout zone despite failing to reclaim resistance near $79.

Rising onchain activity suggests buyers remain active during the current consolidation. If SOL clears the descending trendline above while holding current support, the technical structure points to another test of the $84 level.

Solana’s price holds key support after breakout confirmation

Solana’s defense of the $75-$76 neckline has become the key feature of its near-term technical setup. Crypto analyst Aman said the token confirmed an inverse head and shoulders breakout before returning to test the former resistance area as support.

SOLANA IS COILING FOR A MASSIVE MOVE! 🚨

The Inverse Head & Shoulders breakout was completely successful, and now $SOL is retesting the major $75-$76 neckline support perfectly.

That retest matters because successful breakouts often depend on buyers defending the new support level before another leg higher begins. The descending trendline that has capped recent rallies is also converging toward this zone, narrowing the trading range and increasing the chance of a sharper move once either boundary breaks.

If buyers push SOL above that trendline while preserving the current support, the next technical target sits near $84, according to Aman’s analysis.

Record DEX activity strengthens Solana’s bullish case

The bullish technical structure is also supported by improving onchain activity.

Data from Tokens on Solana showed the network generated $1.18 billion in 24-hour DEX volume, the highest among major blockchain ecosystems during the period. While weekly DEX volume fell 19.9%, Solana retained the top ranking, showing that its trading activity remained higher than rival blockchain ecosystems during the period.

Trading activity was spread across multiple protocols rather than concentrated in a single application. Pump accounted for roughly $313 million in daily DEX volume, followed by Manifest Trade ($138.9 million), Orca ($120.1 million), BisonFi ($118.9 million), and Meteora ($91.1 million). The distribution across multiple protocols points to broad participation instead of reliance on one application.

DefiLlama data showed Solana’s DEX aggregator volume recently exceeded $5 billion, far above the range seen through most of the previous three months. Jupiter accounted for most of the routed spot volume during that spike.

Growing trading activity doesn’t guarantee higher prices on its own, but it does strengthen the case that users continue interacting with Solana applications while SOL consolidates near the $76 support zone. That provides stronger fundamental backing for the current technical setup than price action alone.

Network growth adds support to the Solana outlook

Onchain metrics tell a similar story.

Crypto analyst Ali Martinez reported that Solana averaged roughly 8.4 million new addresses per week, highlighting continued network expansion even as the token trades below the $80 level. Rising address creation doesn’t translate directly into the same number of new users because applications and automated systems can generate multiple wallets. The figures still indicate that transaction activity remains elevated despite SOL trading below $80.

The broader ecosystem also continues to expand beyond memecoin trading. Solana’s tokenized asset market has grown to about $3.3 billion, up roughly $1.1 billion since early May, while Circle recently minted another $250 million USDC (USDC) on the network to support growing stablecoin liquidity. Institutional adoption also advanced after Japan’s SBI Holdings and the Solana Foundation announced a partnership to develop tokenized financial markets, JPY stablecoins, and cross-border payment infrastructure.

Together, these developments show that network activity is increasingly being supported by payments, tokenized assets, and institutional initiatives instead of speculative trading alone.

Resistance between $79 and $85 remains the next test

The bullish setup still requires confirmation.

Ali Martinez identified the $76-$85 range as a major supply zone where roughly 125 million SOL previously changed hands. That overhead supply could slow the recovery even if buyers continue defending the current support area.

A sustained move above $79 would improve the short-term structure and place $84 within reach. A three-day close above $85 would clear the broader volume wall, with $100 and $127 forming the next major upside targets in Martinez’s analysis.

The downside case remains tied to the breakout neckline. Losing the $75-$76 zone would weaken the pattern and expose SOL to support near $73-$74. A three-day close below $70 would invalidate the SuperTrend shift and bring the deeper $53 volume support back into view.
