SOL Holds Critical Mid-July Support Zone—Solana’s retracement to $85.93B tests a key consolidation area that could spark its next rally.
HBAR’s Breakout Faces Support Retest – Hedera’s surge above $12B faded, but holding $9B–$10B support is vital for a bullish continuation.
AVAX Defends $8B Support Range—Avalanche’s July gains reversed, making $8B–$8.5B a make-or-break level for recovery momentum.
August 2025 on the cryptocurrency market sees the strong market activity of Solana (SOL), Hedera (HBAR), and Avalanche (AVAX), which have experienced relatively diminished prices in the past weeks. This is the category of asset whose prices continue to be in the eye of those following the next cryptos to blow up because of their stability, liquefied values, and blunt price movement. Although both have become vulnerable to the sharp correction following recent highs, there are signs that suggest that they both can bounce higher after that.
Solana at the Crossroad of Critical Support Following Strong Retrace
The market capitalization chart of Solana (SOL) in 2025 provides the view of large fluctuations, as it experiences notable fluctuations throughout the year. SOL was trading above $140B in the beginning of January but started witnessing aggressive selling pressure, falling below the $60B mark in March. This fall was indicative of the fact that market confidence was definitely lost in the first quarter.
SOL embarked on an upward trend as it registered higher lows and higher highs, and this meant that the bullish perception was gaining momentum. The trend gained speed in the middle of July, and the market cap grew to over $110B with an increase in trading volumes. Nonetheless, the rally soon came to a halt, failing to rise above this stage.
Hedera Holds Gains Despite Profit-Taking
Hedera (HBAR) entered 2025 with a strong rally, driving its market cap near $15B before facing a sharp correction through February and March. This move took valuations below $8B, as sustained selling pressure created a clear series of lower highs and lower lows. Weak momentum during this period limited buying activity and market recovery.
HBAR traded in a sideways range between $6B and $8B. This phase reflected a market in consolidation, with no strong bullish catalysts to push prices higher. Trading volumes remained modest, suggesting limited participation from major market players.
Avalanche Tests Vital Support after Losing Steam
Starting the year with a market cap of over $15B, Avalanche (AVAX) experienced a strong bruising sell off in February, dropping to a market cap of less than $10B. This loss in the early year was in line with the continued bearish market and absence of a continued bullish market across these large-cap altcoins. There were sellers, who controlled the market, dropping any serious attempts of recovery.
AVAX remained in a broad range between $7B and $9B in market cap. Although this period lacked a breakout, a surge in buying activity emerged in late June, breaking through previous resistance levels. The rally peaked in late July with market cap nearing $11B.
By early August, AVAX had dropped to $8.81B, erasing much of its July gains. Declining volumes relative to the rally suggest reduced bullish participation. The $8B–$8.5B range now serves as a key support area, with a break lower risking a deeper retracement toward mid-year lows.
August 2025 Outlook
The price behavior of Solana, Hedera, and Avalanche highlights their position among the next cryptos to explode if market conditions turn favorable. Each asset has demonstrated the ability to attract significant trading interest and recover from periods of weakness. The key will be maintaining current support zones to set up for renewed rallies.
Solana’s higher low structure, despite its pullback, points to potential if buying pressure returns near current levels. Hedera’s recent breakout shows its capacity for sharp upside moves, though stability above a $9B market cap is essential. Avalanche is still able to have a recovery on its hands in case it succeeds in holding the $8B line to regain the momentum.
