1. Trend framework: Nesting logic of the main channel and small structure
The SOL 4-hour chart presents a nested structure of 'large rising channel + small consolidation triangle':
Main channel (red boundary): The rising trend that started from the March low has not been broken, with upper track pressure near 240, and lower track support at 157.41, overall still in a bull cycle;
Small triangle (yellow boundary): Short-term consolidation pattern since August, with high points gradually lowering and low points rising, a typical 'converging waiting for breakout' structure, where the bull-bear game is heating up.
2. Key points: Dual verification of Fibonacci and chips
(1) Short-term bull-bear dividing line
0.382 retracement level (189.07): The current price (188.44) is almost at this level. If held, the small triangle consolidation will continue, with a high probability of attacking 200 - 210.64 (previous high);
0.5 and 0.618 support (182.40/175.74): If breaking below 189.07, these two Fibonacci levels are ladder defense points, corresponding to different levels of 'failed consolidation turning into pullback'.
(2) Mid to long-term trend anchor points
Lower track of the main channel (157.41): The ultimate defense line of the rising trend. Breaking below this level signals the end of the 'mid-term bull market', and deep pullbacks should be watched for;
Previous high resistance (210.64): Breaking through the upper edge of the small triangle + stabilizing above 210 will open up new high space (testing the upper track of the main channel at 240).
3. Volume + pattern: Consolidation with reduced volume, breakout imminent
Volume characteristics: The trading volume has significantly shrunk during the consolidation period (compared to the main upward wave in July), conforming to the volume rules of 'converging patterns' — both bulls and bears are temporarily stalemated, waiting for breakout signals;
K-line signal: No continuous large bearish candles / breaking patterns in 4 hours, short-term bias is 'oscillating accumulation', the breakout direction is likely to determine the subsequent 1 - 2 weeks trend.
4. Operation strategy: Bet on a breakout or wait for confirmation? Two types of gameplay
(1) Aggressive gambling faction (light position trial and error)
Going long: If the price breaks through 189.07 with volume + stabilizes above 200, chase long with a target of 210.64 (previous high), stop loss set at 185 (breaking below the lower edge of the small triangle);
Going short: If breaking below 182.40 + volume closes bearish, lightly short with a target of 175.74, stop loss set at 185 (false breakout rebound).
(2) Steady wait-and-see faction (waiting for clear signals)
Waiting for a breakout of the small triangle boundary (breaking above 200 or breaking below 182), confirming the direction before following up:
Breaking above → Pull back near 200 to go long, stop loss at 195;
Breaking below → Rebound near 182 to go short, stop loss at 187.
Core reminder: SOL is linked to the market and driven by the Solayer narrative (performance revolution logic). When breaking through, it's more stable to combine with BTC trends + news. Don't heavily invest during the consolidation period, keep some bullets for the trend after the breakout!
(Let's discuss in the comments: Are you betting on SOL breaking upward or pulling back downward?)
