Crypto analyst MadWhale has suggested that the Solana price could witness more downward pressure in the coming days. Specifically, the analyst predicted that SOL was at risk of a decline to $125 as it retests a key support level.
Solana At Risk Of A Drop To $125 With Support Retest
In a TradingView post, MadWhale predicted that the Solana price was at risk of dropping to as low as $125 with the retest of the $164 price level, which is a key support level on the horizon. The analyst noted that this is a pivotal support level that has previously proven strong. However, he warned that it might not be the case this time around.

MadWhale remarked that there are indications that the Solana price may soon breach this daily support, which could trigger a decline of around 25%. Should this price crash happen, the analyst stated that the price target to watch would be $125, which aligns with a key monthly support zone. He added that this area has historically been a critical defense against further downturns, making it a crucial point in the current market analysis.
The analyst’s accompanying chart showed a break below the $125 support level could send the Solana price as low as $80. It is worth mentioning that crypto analyst PizzaDriver also recently warned that SOL could witness a 2022-like crash, with the crypto dropping to double digits.
The Solana price has already witnessed a significant crash, having declined over 11% in the last seven days. On-chain analytics platform Santiment recently noted that Solana’s market sentiment has dipped to its lowest since the big retrace on January 20th. Traders expressed frustration as SOL dropped to a 3-month low price of $161.
However, the platform provided some optimism regarding the Solana price. Santiment noted that while discussion rates are extremely high and crowd sentiment is bearish, this is historically a signal there is a high bounce probability.
A Rebound Is Also On The Cards
While MadWhale and PizzaDriver have predicted that the Solana price could crash further, some other analysts have predicted that SOL could rebound from its current level. In an X post, crypto analyst Mr B noted that SOL is slowly recovering after yesterday’s drop to around $160. He added that the crypto bounced perfectly off a daily support level.
In line with this, Mr B stated that he expects a healthy rebound to $185, although he warned that if the Solana price doesn’t break above that, it might drop again. On the other hand, if Solana manages to push higher, the analyst predicted that the psychological $200 level could be coming soon.
