The Solana price had a mixed performance over the past week, initially rising toward $90 before falling back<\/a> to just above $85. According to a popular analyst on X, the altcoin is currently trading in an interesting zone, which could set the stage for a big price move.<\/p>\n

SOL Price Currently Within No-Trade Zone\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In an April 24 post on the social media platform X, crypto pundit Ali Martinez hypothesized<\/a> that the Solana price is ready for a significant move from its current point. According to the market analyst, the price of SOL appears to already be building bullish momentum that would fuel its next significant rally.<\/p>\n

The rationale for this price outlook is the contraction of the Bollinger Bands on the Solana three-day price chart. Typically, the Bollinger Bands are a technical analysis indicator used to evaluate market volatility and identify overbought or oversold conditions.<\/p>\n

For instance, the Bollinger Bands often experience a \u201csqueeze\u201d (as seen in the highlighted Solana price chart) or contraction during low-volatility periods, typically preceding a sharp price breakout. As shown in the chart below, the indicator on the SOL 3-day chart is forming a tight range between $77 and $94.<\/p>\n

Martinez noted that this Bollinger Band squeeze on the high timeframe could serve as a \u201ccoiled spring.\u201d Comparing the indicator\u2019s recent contraction to the mechanics of a coiled spring, the market analyst said that the longer the Solana price stays within the $77-$94 range, the greater the momentum<\/a> it builds toward an eventual breakout.<\/p>\n

While this optimistic outlook suggests a potential buying opportunity for investors, Martinez fired what seemed like a warning against taking a position around the current price region. According to the crypto analyst, the $77-$94 represents a \u201cno-trade zone\u201d for the Solana price.<\/p>\n

Martinez wrote on X:<\/p>\n

Chasing candles inside this consolidation often leads to being chopped up. Instead, we are looking for a clean 3-day candle close outside the bands that could trigger a volatility spike.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, the Solana price seems poised for a major upward move over the coming months. Nevertheless, investors might want to exercise some patience when positioning for the next SOL move.<\/p>\n
