Solana (SOL) price has begun to consolidate in a tightening range and if the wider market remains stable, it’s possible that SOL could break out in the short-term.
SOL’s upside potential in the short term could be significant with the move, itself, occurring quickly. The 2022 Volume Profile between $53 and $90 is extremely thin, indicating that any daily close above $53 would easily move towards the next high volume node in the $90 value area.
In addition, the 50% Fibonacci retracement of the all-time high to the July 26, 2021 weekly low and the 2022 Volume Point of Control also exist in the $90 price zone.

Another fast sell-off toward $39 is likely to occur if SOL closes the daily candlestick at or below $49.
