Solana Faces Make‑or‑Break $144–$150 Zone With Shorts Stacked at $150

Overview

• SOL trades near $140 after a roughly 26% monthly drop, placing price just under a key decision area.
• Heavy short positioning clustered at $150 forms a resistance wall, and a decisive push above it could trigger rapid short covering.
• Ali Martinez’s realized distribution shows a demand gap under $144, raising the risk of a faster slide if that support fails.
• Analysts note a macro rounded‑base structure but maintain near‑term downside scenarios, with some chart targets near $95 if selling persists.
• Firedancer and Alpenglow move toward mainnet use to improve validator diversity, latency and throughput, and Upexi approved a $50 million share buyback signaling confidence in its Solana exposure.
