Solana is currently forming a 1–2 setup at the Minute degree, which marks the beginning of Minor Wave 3, itself part of Intermediate Wave 3. Once this correction concludes, the probability is high that SOL will advance strongly toward the $250 level. From a technical perspective, the current structure leaves little room for credible alternatives. However, it is possible that the Nano Wave b could extend further upward, as illustrated by the dashed arrows.
Looking at liquidity, the order book below current levels appears relatively thin, with only small clusters around $190 and $180. While there are more orders at $180, giving that level stronger attraction potential, the liquidation heatmap shows virtually no liquidity there. For this reason, I do not expect a drop that deep.
Derivative data currently reflects bearish sentiment, with funding rates declining and open interest stagnating or falling.
Overall, I remain short positioned, targeting the 1.0 extension level of Wave c at $190, which is also where my take-profit is set. Until then, the plan is to stay patient and wait for the setup to play out.
