Lost Fortune: Landfill Containing $750M in Bitcoin to Be Sealed Forever

Crypto analyst Ali Martinez has highlighted a crucial moment for the price 
action of Solana, pointing to a key support level within a parallel channel. 
His technical analysis, which is based on SOL price action on the daily 
candlestick timeframe, shows that the altcoin has been trading in an uptrend 
channel since July 2024. Notably, this uptrend channel has been highlighted by 
the formation of higher lows and higher highs as Solana continued to push to 
new all-time highs. Now, Martinez noted that holding above a key support level 
could reinforce the altcoin&#8217;s uptrend towards the upper trendline of the 
support channel. Related Reading: Bold Prediction: XRP Holders On The Path To

Support Level At the time of Martinez&#8217;s analysis, Solana was trading at $193, 
following a barrage of declines throughout last week. Notably, this decline 
saw Solana hit the bottom trendline of this uptrend channel. As such, the 
analyst noted that SOL&#8217;s action from here could determine its next big move. 
If Solana manages to hold above this support level, the uptrend could regain 
strength, and the channel will still be in play. In this case, Solana will 
still be on track to push toward the upper end of the channel, which puts the 
price target around $387. On the other hand, if the support fails, a deeper 
correction could be on the table. Image From X: Ali_charts Solana Price 
Action: A Rollercoaster Ride To $293 And Back SOL is one of the best- 
performing cryptocurrencies in the current crypto cycle, with its price 
recently skyrocketing to a new all-time high of $293 on January 19. The rally 
was primarily driven by a wave of interest following the launch of the 
Official Trump meme coin on the Solana blockchain, adding momentum to an 
already bullish trend for the altcoin. However, the euphoria has since cooled 
off, with Solana experiencing a 30% decline since the all-time high. Since the 
time of the analysis, Solana has managed to rebound slightly from the lower 
boundary of its uptrend channel. Solana is currently trading at $204, meaning 
it has increased by about 5.7% since Martinez highlighted the key support 
zone. This reversal suggests that the uptrend channel is still in play, and 
Solana could continue to push upwards until it reaches $389. Interestingly, 
this price target at the upper end of the channel is reinforced by the 
Fibonacci extension indicator. Related Reading: Final Dip? Dogecoin Correction 
Could Precede A Record Surge—Analyst This indicator is extended from the 
Solana low of $109 in August 2024, and the $389 price target is at the 1.272 
extension level. The significance of this extension is reinforced by the fact 
that Solana’s January peak also coincided with the 1.0 Fibonacci level. 
Despite this recovery, the bullish momentum has yet to fully confirm itself 
with a strong breakout. There is still a possibility that Solana could retest 
the lower boundary of the channel again before establishing a more decisive 
uptrend. Featured image from Fortune, chart from TradingView
