Solana (SOL) Nears Final Barriers to All-Time High: Price Analysis

Solana (SOL) is in cruise mode as it heads towards what could be the last two barriers before getting back to its all-time high of $295. Will the $SOL bulls push it over these obstacles? How is $SOL performing against $ETH and $BTC?

$SOL hits first of the big obstacles

The daily chart for $SOL shows how the price has been traversing up inside a wedge pattern since early April of this year. That was the local bottom of just under $100, and from there it has been a nice gradual ascent. 

Today the price is up against the $219 resistance, while only just above this is the top of the wedge. This is the first combined obstacle that the bulls must overcome. If there is a rejection from here, the major support level at $202 isn’t that far below, and would potentially enable a reset of the momentum indicators.

The weekly chart puts things more into perspective for the $SOL price. The 50-week SMA (blue line) served as major support for $SOL from the start of the huge ascension in October 2023 through to the all-time high early in 2025. After that, the price crashed down through the 50-week SMA but has now gained above it once again.

The second of the two obstacles that are left for $SOL is the big resistance at $252. This level has rejected three major rallies so far, and so the $SOL bulls will be hoping fourth time lucky. 

$SOL now turning the tables on $ETH

Against its $ETH pair (SOL/ETH) $SOL is now starting to turn the tables. A beautiful touch of the 0.618 Fibonacci marked the spot where $SOL began to take control again. A descending wedge that led out of the ascending channel has now been broken to the upside, and with momentum definitely on the side of $SOL now, it might be expected that the price at least regains the bottom trendline of the channel.

For the SOL/BTC pair it can be seen that the $SOL bulls are also attempting to gain the upper hand. So far this week $SOL is managing to drive up from the huge 0.0019 BTC horizontal resistance, and looks as though it will flip this into support.

The W pattern, which was drawn on this chart near the bottom, is continuing to play out, although the approaching descending trendline will be the battle royale for SOL/BTC. If $SOL can penetrate above this, the next target would be the resistance at 0.00294 BTC, with a higher high slightly above this.

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

The post Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson has weighed in on whether the Federal Reserve should make a 25 basis points (bps) Fed rate cut or 50 bps cut. This comes ahead of the Fed decision today at today’s FOMC meeting, with the market pricing in a 25 bps cut. Bitcoin and the broader crypto market are currently trading flat ahead of the rate cut decision. Franklin Templeton CEO Weighs In On Potential FOMC Decision In a CNBC interview, Jenny Johnson said that she expects the Fed to make a 25 bps cut today instead of a 50 bps cut. She acknowledged the jobs data, which suggested that the labor market is weakening. However, she noted that this data is backward-looking, indicating that it doesn’t show the current state of the economy. She alluded to the wage growth, which she remarked is an indication of a robust labor market. She added that retail sales are up and that consumers are still spending, despite inflation being sticky at 3%, which makes a case for why the FOMC should opt against a 50-basis-point Fed rate cut. In line with this, the Franklin Templeton CEO said that she would go with a 25 bps rate cut if she were Jerome Powell. She remarked that the Fed still has the October and December FOMC meetings to make further cuts if the incoming data warrants it. Johnson also asserted that the data show a robust economy. However, she noted that there can’t be an argument for no Fed rate cut since Powell already signaled at Jackson Hole that they were likely to lower interest rates at this meeting due to concerns over a weakening labor market. Notably, her comment comes as experts argue for both sides on why the Fed should make a 25 bps cut or…
