Recently, quite a few friends have been asking about the short-term trend of Solana (SOL). Today, let's discuss it in light of technical indicators, market sentiment, and on-chain data. Currently, it seems that both bulls and bears are in a stalemate concerning SOL in the short term, but key support and resistance levels are quite clear, so let's go through them one by one.

First, let's talk about the volatility. SOL is currently at the end of a symmetrical triangle consolidation, and this pattern often indicates that the volatility may increase significantly, possibly with fluctuations of ±40%. What does this mean? It means the price could surge upward significantly, or it could drop quite a bit, so be cautious with your operations recently and don't throw all your chips in at once.

Next, let's look at two key technical formations. One is the formation of a "cup and handle" on the daily chart. Friends who understand technical analysis should know that this is usually a bullish signal. The current neck line is at $183, which happens to be the 50% Fibonacci retracement level. If it can break through this level steadily, according to my calculations, there could be a 52% increase, and the target could reach the historical high of $262, which is quite a significant space.

The other is the breakout point of the symmetrical triangle, with resistance at $192. If this level can be breached, the upward space will open up, and the short-term target is approximately between $210 and $223. However, I must remind you that these are predictions based on patterns, and when it comes to critical positions, we still need to see if the market's funds are supportive.

So how should we operate? Zhang Heng's suggestion is to build positions in batches and use dynamic take-profit and stop-loss strategies. For example, don't buy everything at once; divide it into two or three batches, adding a bit if it drops and controlling costs if it rises; also, don't set fixed take-profit and stop-loss levels, but adjust flexibly with price fluctuations. This way, even if you encounter major ups and downs, you can minimize losses or maximize gains.

Overall, the opportunities and risks for SOL in the short term are quite clear. In the battle between bulls and bears, maintaining a calm mindset and having a good strategy is more important than anything else. If you have other opinions, feel free to share in the comments section for discussion!
