**SOL Market Outlook: Tracking Bitcoin, Caution Advised Ahead of U.S. Market Open**
SOL continues to mirror Bitcoin’s short-term fluctuations, lacking independent momentum. On the daily chart, a small bearish doji has formed, with low trading volume reflecting a market in pause mode.
While no clear directional signal has emerged on the daily timeframe, increased volatility is expected with the U.S. stock market open. Momentum on the 12-hour chart is weakening, raising the risk of a **"spike and retrace"** pattern—where SOL may briefly surge with BTC before a sharp pullback.
**Key Support Zones to Watch:**
* **12-hour:** \$166–\$164
* **Daily:** \$159–\$155
These levels may offer bullish entry points, but traders should be prepared to take profits promptly.
**Resistance Levels:** \$186 – \$196 – \$220 – \$244
**Support Levels:** \$165 – \$157 – \$144 – \$124
Liquidity remains thin, making the market more susceptible to large order impacts. Traders should closely monitor support defenses and stay agile in response to rapid market shifts.
