On the daily time frame, the Solana price appears to be in the third wave of a five-wave upward movement, which is typically the sharpest and longest among bullish waves. Wave three is nearing 2.61 times the length of wave one, a likely level for a top.

The daily RSI reinforces the upward trend, increasing without any bearish divergence.
So, the future SOL price prediction will likely be determined by the reaction at the $67 resistance. If the SOL price breaks out, it can increase by another 35% and reach $86.
On the other hand, if the SOL price gets rejected, it can correct by 20% and reach the $50 support area, completing wave four.
Notably, the decrease to the $50 area will not invalidate the bullish trend.
