Solana Forms Textbook Cup And Handle Pattern Massive Breakout Ahead?

Solana is trading at critical levels after several days of trying to decisively break above the key $155$160 resistance zone. Bulls are slowly building momentum, as the broader crypto market shows signs of strength and hints at the possibility of a sustained rally. However, global risks remain elevated, particularly as no clear resolution has been reached in the ongoing US-China trade conflict, which continues to shape macroeconomic sentiment and investor behavior. Related Reading: Ethereum Reclaims Local Range Against BTC Can Bulls Target The Range High? Despite the uncertain backdrop, technical indicators are beginning to favor a bullish outlook for Solana. Top analyst Ali Martinez shared new insights, highlighting that when zooming out, Solana appears to be forming a textbook-perfect cup and handle pattern a classic technical setup typically associated with major bullish breakouts. If validated, this pattern could set the stage for a strong upside move in the coming weeks. Still, caution is warranted, as broader market volatility and unresolved geopolitical tensions could disrupt the developing momentum. The next few days will be pivotal for Solana’s trend, as bulls must defend key levels and build enough pressure to attempt a true breakout above resistance. Solana Shows Strength Amid Shifting Market Dynamics Solana is up 58% since early April, showing impressive recovery momentum as market dynamics start to shift. After months of weakness and selling pressure, Solana is now emerging as one of the stronger performers among major altcoins. Analysts are closely watching the $160 level, with many calling for a decisive breakout that could unlock further gains. However, risks remain elevated. The broader macroeconomic environment remains unstable, with global trade conflicts and financial market volatility weighing on investor sentiment. Solana has been particularly sensitive to this uncertainty. Since January, SOL lost over 65% of its value, highlighting the growing selling pressure and speculative behavior that dominated the market during the first quarter of 2025. Despite this, the recent surge has shifted short-term momentum back in favor of the bulls, offering hope for a broader recovery if key levels are reclaimed. Martinez’s analysis supports a bullish outlook for Solana. He points out that zooming out reveals Solana is forming a textbook-perfect cup and handle pattern. This classic technical structure often precedes strong upward movements, especially when accompanied by growing volume and supportive macro conditions. If confirmed, this setup could mark the beginning of a major rally for SOL in the weeks ahead. Related Reading: Solana Will Face A Pivotal Moment In May Bear Market Bounce Or Bull Market Dip? SOL Price Action Remains Tight Below Key Resistance Solana (SOL) is trading at $151 after several days of consolidation below the crucial $160 resistance zone. Bulls have managed to defend recent gains, but momentum has slowed as the price struggles to push higher. Reclaiming the $160 level is essential for bulls to regain full control and continue the recovery. A clean breakout above $160 could trigger a rally toward the $180 mark, which aligns with the 200-day moving average (MA) a critical technical barrier that, if flipped into support, would confirm a strong trend reversal. However, risks remain elevated if bulls fail to reclaim the $160 resistance soon. A failure at this zone could expose SOL to a deeper correction, potentially dragging the price back toward the $120$100 support area. This would not only erase recent gains but could also damage market sentiment, slowing Solanas recovery efforts. Related Reading: Ethereum Flips Key Resistance Into Support Can Bulls Reclaim $2,000 Level? For now, consolidation just below resistance suggests that buyers are attempting to build strength. However, the next few days will be critical to determine whether SOL can break higher or enter another corrective phase. All eyes remain on the $160 breakout level as the battle between bulls and bears intensifies. Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView

Intel Doubles Down On Chips, Enters $30 Billion Deal To Build New Factory

Intel is not done yet. The company’s plan to become a big player in the semiconductor business is even more ambitious than we thought. Today’s news arrives via the WSJ, “Intel Corp. has struck an unusual $30 billion funding partnership with Brookfield Asset Management Inc.” Both companies will finance and build a new factory in Chandler, Arizona. Apparently, this is the first of many similar deals for Intel.  The company wants to build chip manufacturing capabilities fast and it’s using co-investment as a way to raise money outside of the traditional banking system. For its part, Brookfield is a Canadian asset-management firm that has “more than $750 billion in assets under management.” If this goes well, these new pools of capital will allow Intel to build factories in other places. In this case, Intel will fund 51% of the new facility and thus have “a controlling stake in the financing vehicle that would own the new factories.” Brookfield will finance and own the rest, and both companies “will split the revenue that comes out of the factories.” The deal would be “the first of what could be a series of such arrangements Intel pursues to underpin Chief Executive Pat Gelsinger’s push to make the company a leading contract chip maker and regain its manufacturing advantage over competitors in Taiwan and South Korea.” What Does Intel ’s Chip Business Have To Do With Bitcoin? These chips are a crucial part of the Blockscale ASICs, Intel’s “energy efficient” bitcoin miners. In fact, before Intel, all Bitcoin miners were practically dependent on the Taiwan and South Korea factories. When the Blockscale shipped, we quoted Raja Koduri, Intel’s Architecture, Graphics and Software (IAGS) division’s senior vice president: “Intel AXG Custom Compute team is now shipping the Blockscale ASIC! First product will always be unforgettable, congratulations team. Excited to see how Argo, Griid and Hive improvise around Blockscale and our open design.” Before that, we quoted Intel ‘s CEO Pat Gelsinger overselling it a bit: “Intel is about to bring forward a blockchain chip that’s dramatically better. That is orders of magnitude better in terms of power performance. So, we’re helping solve the climate issue.” We even quoted President Joe Biden poetically describing Intel ’s other chip factory: “If you travel 20 miles east of Columbus, Ohio, you’ll find 1,000 empty acres of land. It won’t look like much, but if you stop and look closely, you’ll see a ‘field of dreams,’ the ground on which America’s future will be built.” BTC price chart for 08/24/2022 on Bitstamp | Source: BTC/USD on TradingView.com There’s No Business Like The Chip Business Back to the WSJ report, the numbers that Intel ‘s CEO is expecting for all of this hassle are astronomical: “Mr. Geslinger and other industry officials have said they expect annual semiconductor sales to roughly double by the end of the decade—topping $1 trillion—even if short-term demand softness is weighing on chip-industry earnings.” They are betting big, “Intel also has said it could spend as much as $100 billion each on new plant complexes in Ohio and Germany.” And they’re not the only ones, Taiwan and South Korea are also doubling down on semiconductors, and even The European Union is trying to get in on the action. In Intel ´s case, the already mentioned President Biden might have something to do with all of these investments: “In the U.S., whose share of the chip market has fallen to about 12%, according to Boston Consulting Group, President Biden this month signed legislation allocating more than $50 billion for domestic chip manufacturing and research. Intel and other chip manufacturers lobbied heavily for the bill. The European Union is considering incentives to double its share of global chip-making to 20% by 2030.” Is this good for bitcoin, though? Everything is good for bitcoin. Having more chip options for the new generation of bitcoin miners that’s coming down the pipeline is even more so. Featured Image by Kevin Woblick on Unsplash | Charts by TradingView

Bitcoin Head and Shoulders Setup Raises Fears Of $80,000 Price Drop Details

Although Bitcoin (BTC) remains range-bound – trading between the $90,000 and $100,000 price levels – some crypto analysts predict that a price correction may be on the horizon due to a bearish head and shoulders pattern forming on the daily chart. Bitcoin To Drop To $80,000? Seasoned analyst and trader Aksel Kibar took to X to share his thoughts on the recent BTC price action. In his post, the chartered market technician highlighted a potential head and shoulders pattern forming on the daily BTC chart, with risk of the cryptocurrency dropping as low as $80,000. The analyst explained that the pullback could push BTCs price to the broadening pattern that completed with a breakout above $73,600. However, Kibar emphasized that the head and shoulders pattern must fully materialize for a significant pullback in BTC price to occur. He stated: Seeing it is not enough. It needs to materialize with a breach below the neckline. There are many cases of failed head and shoulders tops especially in steady uptrends well above the year-long average. Other crypto analysts have also shared similar bearish outlooks for Bitcoin’s price. For instance, technical analyst Ali Martinez identified $92,730 as a crucial price level for the top cryptocurrency. According to Martinez, losing this level could push BTC into “free fall territory,” based on UTXO Realized Price Distribution (URPD). Related Reading: Bitcoin Sell-Off Likely When This Metric Reaches 4%, Analyst Explains For the uninitiated, URPD is a metric that shows the distribution of Bitcoins Unspent Transaction Outputs (UTXOs) across various price levels, based on when they were last moved. Essentially, it helps identify price zones where significant BTC accumulation or spending occurred, providing insights into investor behavior and market sentiment. In addition, former Wall Street derivatives trader Tone Vays warned that BTC trading below the $95,000 price level would be “very, very bad” for the flagship digital asset. Similarly, renowned trader Peter Brandt recently highlighted the risk of BTC breaking down from a broadening triangle formation, potentially falling to the $70,000 level. While several analysts predict a potential price correction, others remain optimistic about Bitcoin’s long-term trajectory. Thomas Lee of Fundstrat Capital projected that BTC could surge as high as $250,000 by 2025. However, he acknowledged the possibility of a short-term correction to $60,000 early next year before Bitcoin enters a historic bull run. The Long-Term Bullish Case For BTC While BTC may indeed face a looming price correction according to some analysts, the long-term price projections remain overwhelmingly bullish. Crypto asset manager Sygnum posits that BTC may face demand shocks due to strong institutional interest in the asset, driving its price significantly higher. Related Reading: Bitcoin May Surge To $200,000 By Mid-2025 Amid Mild Price Pullbacks: Report Earlier this month, Ali Martinez highlighted the potential formation of a cup and handle pattern on BTCs chart. If this pattern plays out, it could trigger renewed bullish momentum for the digital asset. At press time, BTC trades at $94,149, down 2.5% in the past 24 hours.

Bitcoin Price Enters Ascending Phase After Cup And Handle Formation At $105,000, Heres The Next Target

Crypto analyst CobraVanguard has revealed that the Bitcoin price has entered an ascending phase after a cup and handle formation at the $105,000 level. Based on this bullish pattern, the analyst highlighted the price target that BTC could reach as it enters this ascending phase.  Bitcoin Price Could Rally To $123,000 As It Enters Ascending Phase In a TradingView post, CobraVanguard predicted that the Bitcoin price could rally to $123,000 as it enters the ascending phase by the cup and handle pattern. According to the analyst, BTC is in a large cup and handle, and if it follows this pattern, its price will have a nice rally. His accompanying chart showed that the flagship crypto could hit the $123,000 price target.  Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Prediction: Analyst Charts Roadmap To $117,000, What You Should Know The analyst also revealed his golden analysis for the Bitcoin price, in which he revealed that the flagship crypto could rally to as high as $260,000 in this market cycle. His accompanying chart highlighted an ascending channel, which showed that BTC could hit this target if it reached the upper part of the channel.  Interestingly, other crypto analysts have provided higher targets for the Bitcoin price in this market cycle. Crypto analyst Tony Severino recently predicted that BTC could reach as high as $321,000 in this cycle. He highlighted a potential head and shoulder pattern on BTCs chart and stated that the flagship crypto could reach this target if the pattern were valid.  He also raised the possibility of the Bitcoin price rallying to $345,000. Severino explained that BTC could reach this ambitious price target if it touches the upper boundary of the primary uptrend channel over the last eight years or thereabouts. Meanwhile, for his more conservative targets, he predicted that Bitcoins price could top between $158,000 and $191,000 in this market cycle.  Why BTC Hasnt Reached Its Market Top Yet Amid the bearish signals pointing to a market top, crypto analyst Ali Martinez outlined several reasons why the Bitcoin price still has more room to grow in this bull run. First, he noted that cycle shifts typically occur when BTC surpasses 2.4x the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA), which is currently at $184,600.  Related Reading: Bitcoin Long-Term Holders Officially Enter Into Greed Territory, Is This Good Or Bad For Price? Furthermore, Martinez stated that the Mayer Multiple suggests the Bitcoin price has more upside, with a potential market top of around $182,000. From a technical perspective, the crypto analyst highlighted Bitcoins cup-and-handle breakout, which points toward a target of $276,400. Lastly, he alluded to the halving cycle theory, which suggests that BTC could reach a market top between May and October 2025.  At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $104,700, down almost 1% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
