Key takeaways:
Solana is mirroring BNB’s 2024–25 rally, eyeing a breakout above $295.
A cup-and-handle pattern sets SOL’s upside target near $540.
Solana (SOL) appears to be following a nearly identical chart trajectory to BNB (BNB), suggesting it may be on the verge of its own breakout.
SOL price may rise 20% within weeks
A side-by-side comparison of SOL and BNB weekly charts shows striking similarities for more than a year, as highlighted by BitBull on Thursday.
Both BNB and Solana have traced nearly identical market structures since early 2024.
Each posted a sharp first-leg rally, followed by a multimonth reaccumulation phase between mid-2024 and early 2025, characterized by sideways consolidation and corrective pullbacks, before resuming their uptrends.
For BNB, this setup matured in August 2025, when it reclaimed its previous all-time high of $794.30. The breakout quickly gathered momentum, and within weeks, BNB extended its rally to a new record peak above $1,000 on Thursday.
Solana now appears to be entering the same breakout phase that fueled BNB’s parabolic rise, eyeing a breakout over its current record high at around $295 within a month, up about 20% from current levels.
The pattern underscores how investor behavior tends to rhyme across markets: Early rallies draw in momentum, consolidations shake out weak hands and renewed liquidity inflows help the uptrend resume.
For instance, Ether (ETH) surged from ~$10 to ~$400 in the first half of 2017, entered a six-month reaccumulation phase, then broke out again to hit about $1,400 by January 2018.
The structure looked almost identical to Bitcoin’s (BTC) earlier 2013 cycle.
SOL technical pattern hints at 120% rally
Solana is painting a classic bullish continuation pattern known as a “cup and handle,” positioning it for a potential breakout to new highs.
The weekly SOL/USDT chart shows the “cup” phase forming during the long bottoming process from late 2021 to mid-2023, followed by the “handle” consolidation stretching into 2025.
This structure has created a neckline resistance around $267, which SOL has been testing for a breakout since November 2024.
A decisive close above this neckline could trigger the next leg higher, with a technical breakout target projected over $540, up 120% from current price levels, by the year’s end or early 2026.
