Crypto Patel says the decline in SOL\u2019s price following his $200-$250 exit zone has now created the conditions for a new long-term opportunity, but only if another key level gives way. His latest chart frames Solana\u2019s price action as a repeatable cycle of euphoric expansion and sharp correction before the next major rally.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><b>Crypto Patel Shares New Solana Price Prediction\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>In a recent post on X, Crypto Patel<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/cryptopatel\/status\/2023781986431615092?s=46\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"> reminded<\/a> community members that when Solana was trading near its peak between $250 and $200, most investors were projecting a run to $1,000. Instead, the price reversed from<a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/solana-price-persists-within-ascending-channel\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"> a high around $295<\/a> and collapsed to near $67, marking a massive 77% drawdown from the top.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Related Reading: Here\u2019s Why The Bitcoin, Ethereum, And Solana Prices Are Still Crashing Hard<\/p>\n<p>Now, the analyst is presenting a new outlook, warning of a potentially similar decline in Solana\u2019s price this cycle. He notes that Solana is now testing the $85 level, which corresponds to the 0.382 Fibonacci retracement on the chart. The zone has acted as a temporary support; however, it remains structurally weak given the broader trend of lower highs since the peak.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The analyst suggests that if Solana fails to break $85, its price could slide into the $50- $30 range, extending its decline over the past two years. He has labeled this area as a strong<a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/multiple-opportunities-of-solana\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"> Fair Value Gap (FVG)<\/a> accumulation zone based on historical demand and volume behavior.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" class=\"size-large wp-image-882739\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Solana-chart-from-Crypto-Patel.jpg?w=512&#038;resize=512%2C270\" alt=\"Solana\" width=\"512\" height=\"270\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The accompanying chart also maps prior expansion phases in which Solana surged by thousands of percent after long consolidation periods. In<a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/solana-sol-jumped-from-1-50-to-259-ath-in-2021-experts-reckon-this-under-0-10-altcoin-could-replicate-the-same\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"> the 2021 bull cycle<\/a>, price rallied by more 24,234.55% and then declined by 97.01% the following year. Crypto Patel\u2019s current projection places Solana in a similar expansion and corrective phase.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The cryptocurrency has already experienced its expansion stage in 2024, when its price jumped by more than 3,699% to a peak of around $295. Now the analyst predicts an upcoming correction, where price is expected to decline by a whopping 89.44% in mid 2026.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><b>Long-Term Targets Remain Intact Despite Correction<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Despite the bearish short-term outlook, Crypto Patel has not abandoned his long-range bullish projections for SOL. He maintains that once the corrective phase is complete, Solana could still target the $500&#8211; $1,000 range. His chart projects a sharp upward surge toward the $1,000 level by 2027, representing a massive 3,103% surge.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Related Reading: <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/xrp-solana-secure-inflows\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">XRP, Solana Secure Inflows As Institutions Move $1 Billion Out Of Bitcoin And Ethereum<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Going further, the analyst also shared his bullish price projection for Solana by late 2029. He expects that once the price hits $1,000, SOL could rally strongly and steadily toward $10,000. He has marked $9,270 as the next long-term target, reflecting a rally of approximately 27,660%.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/nDEjkbIh\/\" alt=\"Solana\" width=\"2108\" height=\"1628\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The crypto analyst who warned Solana (SOL) traders to sell near the cycle top at $250 is back with a new outlook after the market validated his earlier call.
