After the breakout, Solana reached a new yearly high of $39.40 today.

Positive Sentiment for Solana Grows
Due to Solana’s increase, the altcoin has returned to the #7 spot on market cap rankings. The price increase has also led to a renewed social interest, with nearly 2% of all discussions on the top 100 assets being for SOL.
Despite this increase, the outlook from cryptocurrency analysts on X is mixed.
Pentosh1 believes that the price will face rejection at the $38-$40 level and then gradually decrease towards $32.
ColdBloodShill is bullish for the long-term outlook, but he also suggests that the price can retrace in the short term. He stated:
10 months of consolidation on $SOL coming to an end. Dips below $32.50 probably going to be the sweet spot from the HTF.
Joemccann is decisively bullish because of the positive monthly close.
Solana Price Prediction: is the rally just beginning?
The daily time frame chart for SOL is decisively bullish because of the Elliott Wave count. By studying recurring long-term price patterns and investor psychology, technical analysts utilize the Elliott Wave theory to ascertain the trend’s direction.
The most likely count suggests that SOL has begun a long-term 1-2/1-2 wave formation. The wave count is in black, while the sub-wave count is in white.
If the count is correct, SOL is in sub-wave three of wave three, the sharpest out of all the increases.
If the Solana upward movement continues, the closest resistance area will be at $59 to $63 and $79 to $83. The targets are found by the 2.61 and 3.61 Fib extensions of the first wave (black) and sub-wave (white).

Fibonacci retracement levels operate on the principle that after a significant price change in one direction, the price will retrace or revisit a previous price level before resuming in its original direction.
Additionally, they can be employed to identify the highest point of future upward movements. The targets are 60% and 100% above the current price, respectively.
Despite this bullish SOL price prediction, decreasing below the sub-wave one high (red trendline) at $32.30 will invalidate the count.
In that case, a 40% drop to the closest support at $23 will be expected.
