Solana opened August trading in a tight range just above $165. The coin has hovered near that level after a sharp run-up. Based on reports, big holders rotating profits and deeper DeFi ties are reshaping the outlook for SOL.<\/p>\n
According to on-chain data, SOL<\/a> has formed what looks like a Golden Cross on its daily chart, where the 50-day moving average crossed above the 200-day line.<\/p>\n A pullback to around $160 has lined up with both the 200 EMA and a key trendline. Analysis shows that the $161\u2013$166 area has become a firm floor.<\/p>\n\n If buyers defend that pocket, SOL could climb toward the first barrier near $189 and then test $206. Analyst Mary Emerald has penciled in a move up to $256<\/a>, a gain of about 60% from today\u2019s prices.<\/p>\n On its own, SOL has already jumped more than 50% from earlier lows this year. Prices still face pressure, though. The MACD histogram is negative and hasn\u2019t shown a clear turn upward.<\/p>\n That hints that bears have some edge until momentum shifts. Keeping an eye on trading volume around $189 will be key. A strong break and close above that level could open the door to higher targets.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, with the long-awaited Seeker phone<\/a> now available in over 50 countries, traders are growing more optimistic about Solana\u2019s price as they eye a possible breakout.<\/p>\n The handset combines Web3 functionality with a familiar smartphone experience, using hardware-level security to keep private keys and seed phrases completely separate from the app layer.<\/p>\n This development makes Solana a more appealing platform for developers, fuels a vibrant ecosystem and expands SOL\u2019s role as a utility token.<\/p>\n Seekers officially start shipping today!
