Solana price eyes key Fibonacci retracement level near $95

Solana price is approaching the critical $95 Fibonacci resistance as rising volume and open interest signal a potential breakout or sharp rejection.

Solana (SOL) is trading at $90.20 at press time, down 7.4% over the past 24 hours. The token just touched the top of its seven-day range between $77.47 and $90.68.

It has gained 7.4% in the last week but is still down 12% over the past month and nearly 70% below its January 2025 all-time high of $293.31.

Derivatives data from CoinGlass shows traders stepping back in. Volume has risen 13% to $17 billion, while open interest climbed 6% to $5 billion.

This mix indicates that fresh positions are being opened as the price approaches a technical decision zone.

$95 emerges as a key decision point

The $95 area stands out on the chart.

If we measure the recent move from the swing high near $120 to the swing low around $80, the 38.2% to 50% Fibonacci retracement falls close to $95.

This is usually the first serious resistance during a recovery bounce. In many cases, rallies slow down or reverse at this level.

The $92–$97 region also acted as support before the price broke down. That old support may now act as resistance. Liquidity likely sits just above $95, which makes the area even more sensitive.

Price is also moving toward key moving averages, such as the 50-day EMA or 100-day SMA. When static resistance and dynamic resistance meet, the level tends to carry more weight.

RSI has recovered from oversold conditions below 30 and is now approaching the 50 mark. If momentum stalls there, sellers may regain control. Volume on the bounce has not exploded, which suggests this could still be a corrective move rather than a full trend reversal.

If SOL pushes above $95 and holds, the next upside zone sits around $105–$110. If it gets rejected, $85 could come back into view.

Solana price short-term outlook

For March 2026, the short-term outlook remains cautiously optimistic. Some analysts expect a move into the $95–$105 range if buying pressure continues. A break above $100 is possible, but volatility is still elevated and sentiment across crypto remains fragile.

Prediction markets show mixed positioning. While some traders are betting on a move above $110, many still anticipate that SOL will remain below $100 in the near future. 

Fundamentally, institutional investment in Solana-related products has increased. DeFi, stablecoins, and memecoins are all still experiencing on-chain activity. The longer-term narrative is further supported by payment use cases such as Visa’s USDC settlements.

For now, the chart is clear. A daily close above $95 would shift short-term structure in favor of buyers. If that level holds as resistance, the broader downtrend stays intact.
