As most of the crypto market remains in red, Solana (SOL) has started to recover from the market’s sharp correction. The cryptocurrency’s price has surged 7.5% in the last 24 hours, recovering from its three-week low and leading some analysts to suggest the bleeding might be over.

Solana Falls To Three-Week Low
Over the weekend, Solana recorded a 27% price plunge from Friday’s highs to a three-week low of $175. This performance followed the overall market crash, fueled by the US president’s recently announced tariff on the country’s three biggest trading partners.
On February 1, the white house revealed that Donald Trump was implementing new tariffs on imported goods from Canada, Mexico, and China. This measure was met with similar responses from the two neighboring countries, which announced they would implement tariffs on US imports.
The fear of a global tariff war sparked a massive sell-off that saw Bitcoin’s price plummet to $91,200 and Ethereum’s price drop to $2,100. Additionally, the market registered at least $2.3 billion in liquidation, although Bybit’s CEO suggested the figure could be up to $10 billion.
Solana lost the key $200 support zone and fell below $180 on Sunday night. As the market struggled, some analysts suggested that SOL’s price risked a deeper fall. Analyst Ali Martinez noted that SOL could retrace to $138 if it lost the $191 support from its multi-month ascending channel.
Crypto trader Bluntz considers that losing the $220 support was “really bad” for the altcoin, as it resembled 2021’s bearish divergence sign. Additionally, it invalidated the “ABC from the highs” and made it look “more impulsive,” which would require a “miracle” to overcome it.
SOL Must Hold These Levels
Despite falling below the crucial levels, the cryptocurrency retested the $170-180 support zone and bounced from the $175 mark, attempting to break the $200 resistance in the following hours.
Crypto analyst Jelle noted that Solana “retraced the TRUMP memecoin pump,” which saw SOL reclaim the $220 resistance and jump to its latest all-time high (ATH) of $295.
However, Jelle considered that SOL’s structure “remained sound” during the drop and that its chart looked “very solid” as the cryptocurrency recovered on Monday morning.
It’s worth noting that amid the market bleeding, Solana was among the cryptocurrencies that showed strength. SOL, like BTC, held its key horizontal levels, remaining within its post-US elections price range.

Martinez pointed out that “In the middle of this madness, the TD Sequential indicator presents a buy signal on the Solana daily chart.” Meanwhile, Miles Deutscher highlighted that BTC and SOL’s prices were “now higher than yesterday’s pre-liquidations,” noting the high volatility affecting the market.
Moreover, Solana, alongside BTC and XRP, is among the only top 10 cryptocurrencies recording green numbers. Jelle considers that if SOL closes above the monthly and weekly supports between $200 and $210, it will continue its solid performance to retest the $240 resistance and see “another push for $300.”
As of this writing, Solana is trading at $211, a 7.5% increase in the daily timeframe.
