The Solana price is plunging and appears to be approaching the crucial $80 support as broader market sentiment turns bearish. The price has dropped by more than 4.88% in the past 24 hours, reaching $83.42 with a slight rise in the trading volume. As the token heads into the Q1 close at a critical point, how SOL ends the quarter could determine how Q2 begins.
Right now, the question is simple: can the SOL price close Q1 with strength and flip bullish for Q2, or is this just another lower high before continuing down?
On the daily chart, Solana has been forming higher lows since the $67 bottom, suggesting buyers are slowly stepping in. But the problem is clear—price keeps getting rejected near the $92–$95 zone. This has created a tightening range between rising support and horizontal resistance. Moves like this usually don’t last long. A breakout or breakdown is coming, and the Q1 close will likely decide the direction.
At the same time, SOL slipping below the $83 level shows short-term weakness. Bulls are trying to hold structure, but they haven’t taken control yet. The structure is simple but important.
Indicators are not helping much:
So even though the structure looks like a recovery, the confirmation is missing.
Therefore, if Solana (SOL) price manages to push back above $90 and close Q1 strong, then Q2 can start with bullish continuation. But if it keeps rejecting below resistance or loses the $82 level, expect a move back toward $67 before anything meaningful happens.
