$74 SOL, did you cut your losses?

First look at the surface: painful, but starting to firm up.

In the past month, it has fallen 15%, down 40% year-to-date, but from a 7-day perspective, it has quietly risen 7%. 24-hour trading volume is 2-2.2 billion, market cap is 42.6 billion, ranked 7th. The candlestick chart shows: the 4H timeframe just broke through the downtrend line, standing above EMA34 and testing EMA89, with the 73-75 resistance zone repeatedly rubbing — this is a typical early bottom structure.

First thing: you’re still in fear, Morgan Stanley has already taken action.

Morgan Stanley has submitted an application for a SOL spot ETF, with fees as low as 0.14%, one of the lowest in the market.

Another signal: on-chain monitoring detected large single buys of over $16 million worth of SOL. Although some are also transferred to exchanges, the overall accumulation signal is stronger.

Second thing: Alpenglow upgrade, this is the real nuclear bomb.

Alpenglow is expected to launch mainnet in Q3 2026, with community support over 98%. The core change is: transaction finality reduced from 12 seconds to 150 milliseconds.

DeFi high-frequency trading, on-chain gaming, payment scenarios — all can be commercially implemented.

Meanwhile, ecosystem data has already warmed up:

RWA TVL exceeds 2.8 billion, a new high in history.

Stablecoin supply is 16.4 billion, a record.

Solana becomes the official sponsor of the 2026 WSOP, supporting zero-fee crypto entry.

Third thing: a critical technical signal has appeared that must be paid attention to.

The 4H chart has broken through the downtrend line, forming a bullish reversal pattern.

What does this mean? The bearish trend has been broken.

Currently, it is gathering strength below the key resistance zone of 73-75.

Once volume increases and it stabilizes above 75, the target is directly 80-85.

Strong support at 63-65, secondary support at 60-62.

Long and short battles, see for yourself.

One side (bullish reasons):

Morgan Stanley ETF application, institutional channels open.

Alpenglow upgrade launching in Q3, performance revolution.

4H breakout of the downtrend line, technical turn to bullish.

Stablecoins over 16.4 billion + RWA new high, ecosystem in use.

The other side (bearish reasons):

Fallen from ATH 294 to 74, confidence destroyed.

BTC fluctuating around 64k, market direction unclear.

Some large holders transferring to exchanges, short-term selling pressure exists.

75 resistance tested three times, may revisit again.

Key position near 75 is a dense trading zone, unlikely to pass in one go.

Resistance above: 75 → 80-85 → 100.

Support below: 68-70 → 63-65.

Spot trading strategy:

Small positions around 74 for testing.

Add on dips to 68-70, heavy position at 63-65 (core support).

Target 80-85, then look for 100+ after breakthrough.

Stop loss below 62.

Aggressive/band trading strategy:

Chase longs on volume breakout above 75, target 80-90.

Leverage controlled at 2-5x, position no more than 20% of total funds.

Long-term believers:

Start dollar-cost averaging below 70.

Alpenglow landing + ETF approval, target 100-150 in late 2026.

SOL’s fundamentals are top-tier among L1s, every major correction is an opportunity.

SOL now is like ETH in 2023 —

Everyone said “L1 is dead,” “SOL will go to zero,” but once ETF expectations came, it shot from 20 to 100 directly.

In a bull market, the most expensive thing isn’t chips, it’s the courage to stay in at the bottom and not be scared away. #我的Gate交易时刻 #美伊谈判推迟 $BTC $ETH $SOL
