Despite this, Solana has shown resilience, which is backed by strong developer activity and increasing NFT adoption.
The tweet drew immediate attention, raising questions about its implications for Solana’s market position. The blockchain has faced scrutiny over network outages and competition from Ethereum Layer-2 solutions. Yet, high-profile mentions such as Barron Trump have the potential to reinvigorate interest in the ecosystem. As speculations swirled, the tweet’s deletion added another layer of intrigue, leaving many to wonder about the reasons behind it.

SOL Price Caught In Bearish Pattern
The SOL USD pair has formed a bearish technical setup called the ‘rising wedge pattern.’
Two converging upward-sloping trendlines characterize the pattern. This pattern is a bearish reversal indicator, typically signaling weakening bullish momentum. The structure forms as the price consolidates upward, with the trading range narrowing over time, accompanied by declining trading volume—a key sign of reduced buying pressure.

This would align with a potential retracement toward the $81 support level, a 66% downside pattern. Conversely, a decisive breakout above the upper resistance trendline would invalidate the pattern and suggest continued bullish momentum.

If the bulls manage to start a rally, the Solana token would have to face the resistance near $252. Breaking past the immediate support would provide SOL price with the impetus to reach the resistance near $277, also invalidating the bearish setup.
Conversely, a continued downtrend would likely see the bulls defending the support levels near $216 and $194.
The RSI for SOL price remained neutral, with a score near 62.06 on the daily charts.
