The post Solana to $500? VanEck’s Bold Price Prediction for SOL appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
Amid the ongoing consolidation in the cryptocurrency landscape, asset management giant VanEck has made a bold prediction for Solana (SOL). This forecast has captured widespread attention from the global crypto community, particularly as it comes during a period when SOL has been struggling consistently.
VanEck Predicts $500 for Solana
In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), VanEck stressed that the crypto bull market is expected to reach a medium-term peak in Q1 and set new highs in Q4 of 2025. The post also noted that during this bull run, Solana’s (SOL) price could hit a new high of $500.
This prediction appears achievable, as SOL is poised for a massive rally, having formed a bullish price action pattern.
Solana’s (SOL) Bullish Breakout Levels to Watch
According to expert technical analysis, SOL has been consolidating for over three weeks and has formed a bullish flag-and-pole price action pattern on the daily timeframe. A flag-and-pole is a price action pattern that traders and investors use to build long positions over different time periods if the price breaches or breaks out of the pattern.

Additionally, SOL’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) is currently near the oversold region, indicating that the asset is poised for upside momentum.
This bullish thesis will remain valid only if SOL breaks out of this price action pattern and closes a daily candle above the $236 level; otherwise, it may fail.
81% of Traders Long on SOL
SOL’s technical analysis is further supported by on-chain metrics. According to the on-chain analytics firm Coinglass, the Binance SOLUSDT long/short ratio currently stands at 4.28, indicating strong bullish sentiment among traders. At present, 81.05% of top Binance traders hold long positions, while only 18.95% hold short positions.
These on-chain metrics and technical analysis indicate that the bulls are currently dominating the asset, which could support SOL in breaching the bullish pattern.
Current Price Momentum
At press time, SOL is trading near $222 and has experienced a price decline of 0.75% in the past 24 hours. Additionally, its trading volume has dropped by 24% during the same period, indicating reduced participation from traders and investors compared to the previous day.
