Solana hits a roadblock at $145 after establishing an uptrend that started during the last week of December. The disruption comes despite the network making technical advancements.
Solana, aka the ‘Ethereum Killer,’ found itself stumbling upon the resistance level at $145 as it tried to establish the new uptrend that began back in December. From mid-September 2025 to late December, the coin crashed from around $250 to $125, after which it recovered.
During this recovery period, SOL crossed above the 50-day moving average, which is considered a bullish signal in the short term. Although it crossed above this level, it could not further rise as it found resistance at $145.
More importantly, the coin is struggling despite the efforts taken by the SOL team to integrate the Solana blockchain functionality with the X social media application. The Solana blockchain link, or Solana blink, allows the user to perform on-chain activity by just following a link from the social media platform.
Although Solana failed to cross above the $145 resistance level for now, it does not necessarily mean that the coin won’t eventually. Historically, when Solana reaches these levels, the trend changes and the coin has a massive spike.
Bullish momentum builds under the surface
The chart above demonstrates three instances when SOL rebounded off of the $125 support level and crossed above $200. If history repeats, the coin will be set for yet another rally, which could take the price above $200. By looking at the technical indicator, the Relative Strength Index shows a bullish divergence.
When a bullish divergence occurs, the coin strengthens despite not showing any sign of appreciation on the charts. It’s when the coin builds momentum undercover. Once the SOL bulls start driving the rally, the coin will test the 100-day MA first at $149, and once it is successfully broken, the next resistance will be at $160.
