Solana Price Prediction: Head & Shoulders Sets $42 Target

2 min read

Solana slipped below a key support zone, and two analysts now point to lower downside levels as the chart structure weakens. Alex Clay flagged a confirmed head and shoulders setup targeting $42, while CryptoUB mapped a bounce zone in the low $100s before a potential move toward about $75.

Solana chart confirms head and shoulders breakdown

Solana has confirmed a head and shoulders pattern on the higher time frame chart, according to market analyst Alex Clay, who said the structure weakened after price lost a key support zone. In a post on X, Clay noted that the breakdown shifted market structure lower and removed the prior base that had supported several rebounds.

As a result, the chart now reflects a completed reversal pattern rather than a consolidation. The neckline break marks the failure of the prior uptrend structure. Moreover, the former support area has flipped into overhead resistance, which limits near term recovery attempts on the same level.

Clay added that the measured move from the head and shoulders formation aligns with the $42 area. Therefore, the pattern target converges with a long watched horizontal level, which sits near a prior demand zone on the broader chart structure.

Solana chart points to bounce before deeper pullback

Meanwhile, Solana's higher time frame structure shows price pressing below a former support band, according to market analyst CryptoUB, who outlined a near term bounce zone followed by a deeper move lower. In a post on X, CryptoUB said the chart sets up for reactions in the low $100s before a continuation toward the mid $70s area.

As shown on the three day Binance chart, price has already lost the prior base that capped several rebounds in 2025. Therefore, the former support now acts as overhead resistance and limits upside attempts into the same range. At the same time, the chart marks a lower demand zone near the mid $70s, which aligns with a prior reaction area on the broader structure.

Moreover, the current structure reflects a shift away from the 2024 uptrend channel. Successive lower highs formed after the late 2025 peak. As a result, the broader bias remains tilted lower while price trades below the reclaimed level.

SEC clears framework for fast-tracked crypto ETF listings

The post SEC clears framework for fast-tracked crypto ETF listings appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Securities and Exchange Commission has approved new generic listing standards for spot crypto exchange-traded funds, clearing the way for faster approvals. Summary SEC has greenlighted new generic listing standards for spot crypto ETFs. Rule change eliminates lengthy case-by-case approvals, aligning crypto ETFs with commodity funds. Grayscale’s Digital Large Cap Fund and Bitcoin ETF options also gain approval. The U.S. SEC has approved new generic listing standards that will allow exchanges to fast-track spot crypto ETFs, marking a pivotal shift in U.S. digital asset regulation. According to a Sept. 17 press release, the SEC voted to approve rule changes from Nasdaq, NYSE Arca, and Cboe BZX, enabling them to list and trade commodity-based trust shares, including those holding spot digital assets, without submitting individual proposals for each product. A streamlined path for crypto ETFs Under the new rules, an ETF can be listed without SEC sign-off if its underlying asset trades on a market with surveillance-sharing agreements, has active CFTC-regulated futures contracts for at least six months, or already represents at least 40% of an existing listed ETF. This brings crypto ETFs in line with traditional commodity-based funds under Rule 6c-11, eliminating a process that could take up to 240 days. SEC chair Paul Atkins said the move was designed to “maximize investor choice and foster innovation” while ensuring the U.S. remains the leading market for digital assets. Jamie Selway, director of the division of trading and markets, called the framework “a rational, rules-based approach” that balances access with investor protection. First products already approved Alongside the new standards, the SEC cleared the listing of the Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund, which tracks spot assets based on the CoinDesk 5 Index. It also approved trading of options tied to the Cboe Bitcoin U.S. ETF Index and its mini version, with…
