Cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez has shared a noteworthy assessment of the Solana (SOL) price action. According to Martinez, Solana is testing a critical resistance area again and this time the breakout may be more likely to be sustained. After three failed attempts, Solana broke through the $205-$207 resistance range today, rising to $212. This prompted investors to wonder, “Will this time be different?” Martinez noted that, from a technical perspective, repeated tests of the same resistance level typically weaken the region, but previous attempts above $207 were short-lived. What makes this move different, according to Martinez, is the shift in social sentiment. While previous attempts have seen excessive optimism ahead of local peaks, this time, a cautious tone prevails across the market. Social sentiment is well below the 230 level, and there's no overly enthusiastic buying pressure. However, the breakout of the $212 level reportedly resulted in approximately $1 billion in profit-taking, suggesting that some investors remain unconvinced by Solana's momentum. According to the analyst, on-chain data suggests a strong accumulation area below the $207 level. These supports extend from $206 to $165. However, since there is no historically strong resistance above $212, Martinez notes that a volume-supported breakout could bring the $300 target into play. In addition to technical signals, Martinez also highlighted Solana's network upgrades. The Alpenglow consensus upgrade, currently up for vote, will reduce transaction finality from 12 seconds to approximately 150 milliseconds, providing near-instant confirmation for users. This could significantly improve network performance. *This is not investment advice.
