Solana Price Prediction: For nearly a month, the 4th largest cryptocurrency <a href="https://coingape.com/solana-mobile-prints-historic-orders-ahead-of-new-edition-launch/">Solana(SOL)</a> has been under a correction trend partially attributed to the uncertainty surrounding the newly launched Bitcoin ETF. In our previous analysis, we market this downfall as the formation of a Flag pattern, commonly observed in an established uptrend. However, the buyers’ attempt to break out of this pattern failed to sustain amid the market sell-off, positioning the SOL price at risk of further downfall.

On January 17th, the Solana price recovery teased a bullish breakout from the resistance trendline of the Flag pattern. This breakout coincided with <a rel="nofollow" href="https://tokenterminal.com/terminal/projects/solana">Solana Network active addresses</a> hitting a high of 429,162 reflecting a sustainable growth opportunity for coin holders. 
However, the <a href="https://coingape.com/price/solana/">Solana price</a> reentered the Flag on Thursday with a 7.5% intraday loss as the crypto market witnessed a sudden sell-off. With a 6.4% drop today, altcoin showcased a suitable follow-up to the reversal and confirmation of the failed breakout

 In the last two days, the Solana traders have witnessed nearly $19 Million in long-liquidation as per the derivative data analysis platform <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.coinglass.com/currencies/SOL">Coinglass</a>. This forced exit of long traders intensifies selling pressure on this asset, indicating the continuation of the correction trend.
</blockquote> 
With sustained selling, the SOL price may tumble 20% before hitting the crucial support zone created by combining the horizontal level of $68 and the 50% Fibonacci retracement level.

The short-term outlook for the <a href="https://coingape.com/price/solana/">Solana</a> price appears bearish, yet a retracement to the 50% Fibonacci level is viewed as a healthy correction within an overarching uptrend. Such a pullback may provide an opportunity for buyers to regroup and regain momentum, potentially reigniting the previous recovery trajectory. If buyers successfully breach the flag pattern, it could significantly boost buying interest, setting the stage for a push toward a potential target of $166
