Solana ($SOL ) Mid-to-Long Term Price Outlook

$SOL is hovering just below a key resistance zone at $180–$188.

A clear breakout above this range could push price toward $210–$220 in the coming weeks, with long-term potential targeting $250+ by late 2025 — especially if major catalysts align.

Key Catalysts to Watch:

The Firedancer upgrade (expected to boost throughput up to 10x)

SecondSwap’s $100B+ liquidity unlock

High probability of a SOL ETF approval (current odds: 82%)

Risks to Monitor:

A failed breakout may lead to sideways action near $160

Regulatory concerns and China’s crypto stance

Heavy dependence on meme coin volume (which made up 75% of Q1 revenue)

Strategy Guide:

Buy Zone: Only enter on a confirmed breakout above $188 with strong volume

Avoid Entry: If SOL remains under resistance or weakens — pullbacks to $160 remain likely

Risk Management: Use stop-losses and stay alert to any ETF and Firedancer-related updates
