Crypto analyst Ali Martinez has forecasted a significant potential rally for Solana (SOL), suggesting it could soar to $4,000 if it successfully completes a classic "cup-and-handle" pattern. Martinez highlighted that SOL is currently in the "cup" phase of this bullish pattern, recovering steadily from prior pullbacks. The ongoing consolidation phase, often referred to as the "handle," could lead to a breakout.
According to Martinez, an initial breakout could propel SOL to an intermediate target of $1,200. If this momentum continues, the cryptocurrency might experience a parabolic rally, ultimately reaching the $4,000 price level.
The Solana Exchange Liquidation Map identifies key price levels at $207.40 and $220.30, reflecting a market with significant leverage and potential liquidation events.
A rise to $220.30 could lead to the liquidation of approximately $54.67 million in short positions, while a decline to $207.40 might trigger the liquidation of around $190.91 million in long positions.
