Solana Price Prediction: Charts Point to $90 and Bigger Upside

Solana charts now show a split setup between long term upside hope and a short term recovery target. One chart keeps the $1,000 bull case alive, while the other points to $88 to $90 as the next zone that matters first. Solana Chart Keeps $1,000 Bull Case Alive Despite Weak Momentum The chart presents a long term bullish argument for Solana, even though momentum still looks soft in the short term. James Easton points to a wide upward structure on the weekly chart and argues that, as long as Solana does not fully break down, the bigger path still points higher. In that view, the extreme bullish target remains $1,000. Solana / U.S. Dollar Weekly Chart with MACD. Source: James Easton on X At the same time, the lower part of the chart shows why that move may not come fast. The MACD setup still looks weak, and the circled area suggests momentum has not fully turned up yet. So the bullish case depends less on immediate strength and more on the idea that Solana is still trading inside a broader structure that has not collapsed. The upper channel on the chart also supports that reading. Price remains inside a descending range, but the larger pattern still looks like consolidation after a strong advance rather than total failure. Therefore, the message behind the chart is clear: if Solana avoids a deeper breakdown and regains momentum later, the long term trend could still reopen the path toward much higher levels, including the $1,000 target. Solana Setup Points to $88 to $90 as the Next Target Zone The chart shows Solana moving toward a clear upside target area between $88.13 and $90.01. That zone stands out because the marked Fibonacci levels and both projected wave paths point to the same range. As a result, the chart treats $88 to $90 as the next ideal target.

The chart maps a step by step move higher from the recent support area, with the next resistance band sitting above the current rebound. So the message is straightforward: if Solana continues this upward path, the first major objective sits in that $88 to $90 zone. However, the chart also keeps a lower support block in view. The marked support area between roughly $71.92 and $77.92 remains the broader floor of the structure. Therefore, while both short term scenarios still aim at $88 to $90, the bullish path depends on Solana holding above the recent support base first.

Market Strategist Shares Major With XRP Holders

Levi Rietveld issued a strongly worded post on X questioning whether XRP is “restarting.” However, his accompanying video focused less on immediate price action and more on the general economic environment shaping market expectations. His commentary centered on interest rate policy and how it could influence liquidity conditions that typically affect digital assets. In the video attached to his post, Rietveld directed attention to betting data from Polymarket, using it as a gauge for market sentiment regarding upcoming decisions by the Federal Reserve. He explained that current probabilities do not favor aggressive monetary easing, which some investors believe would support upward price movement in assets like XRP . WTF!?! #XRP IS RESTARTING!?! (MAJOR NEWS) pic.twitter.com/eXmHdHs9pU — Levi | Crypto Crusaders (@LeviRietveld) April 10, 2026 Data Points Suggest Continued Policy Pause Rietveld cited specific probabilities from Polymarket to support his position. He stated that expectations for no change in interest rates remain dominant across multiple timeframes. According to his breakdown, the likelihood of no change in June stands at 88 percent, while July shows an 80 percent probability of rates remaining unchanged. He further noted that from January through April, projections overwhelmingly suggest a pause, with a 98% likelihood. He emphasized that these figures point to a consistent pattern rather than a temporary stance. In his words, the outlook reflects a prolonged period of policy stability rather than a shift toward stimulus-driven conditions. This, he suggested, reduces the likelihood of a macroeconomic environment that would typically accelerate price increases in XRP. Inflation Risks Shape Federal Reserve Caution Rietveld attributed this cautious stance to concerns about inflation and external geopolitical factors. He argued that the Federal Reserve is deliberately avoiding premature rate cuts to prevent destabilizing the economy. According to his explanation, lowering rates under current conditions could create unintended consequences, particularly if global tensions persist. He mentioned the conflict in the Middle East as a contributing factor, stating that extended instability could keep oil prices elevated above $100 per barrel. In such a scenario, he warned that inflationary pressures could intensify significantly. He presented a hypothetical outcome in which consumer costs, including groceries, could rise sharply within a short period. Rietveld stressed that policymakers are unlikely to take actions that could trigger such outcomes. He maintained that the Federal Reserve’s priority remains preventing a policy mistake that could lead to widespread economic strain.

He suggested that without a pivot toward rate cuts or stimulus, expectations for rapid price appreciation may need to be reassessed. His remarks indicate that macroeconomic factors continue to play a central role in shaping sentiment around digital assets. By focusing on interest rate projections and inflation risks, Rietveld presented a perspective that links XRP’s potential trajectory to decisions made outside the crypto market itself. According to his analysis, the combination of high probabilities for policy pauses and ongoing global uncertainties supports a more restrained outlook in the near term.

Bitcoin Supply Shock Brewing? Whales Step Back As Long-Term Holders Absorb $49B

The current price range of Bitcoin may not relay much, but a change in ownership structure is taking place under the surface. Related Reading: Forget XRP Forecasts: The ‘Delusional’ Crowd Could Have The Last Laugh On-chain data from CryptoQuant shows that one cohort of market participants is stepping back from exchange activity at a pace not seen in nearly a year, while another is quietly rebuilding at a scale that demands attention. Whale Inflows On Binance Fall To Multi-Month Lows The 30-day sum of whale inflows to Binance has fallen massively in recent days, falling to $2.96 billion as of the latest CryptoQuant data, the first reading below $3 billion since June 2025. The drop in exchange inflow is a departure from the elevated inflow levels that characterized the entire period between February and early March, when the same metric was consistently tracking above $6 billion and briefly touched $8 billion. That detail matters because exchange inflows from whales are an intent to sell or reposition. When these flows begin to dry up, it shows that large players are no longer rushing to offload their supply. BTC- Binance Whale To Exchange Flow At the same time, long-term holders are rebuilding exposure at scale. This exposure can be seen through the 30-day realized cap change for this group. This metric captures the value of coins being absorbed into long-term storage, and its reading reached as high as $49 billion on April 9. That contrast is clearly visible in the behavior of short-term holders, whose realized cap change has dropped to -$54 billion. This is the third time since early March that short-term holders have registered losses exceeding $50 billion on a 30-day basis. This data shows that reactive participants are exiting positions under pressure, while longer-term investors are buying more into that weakness and tightening supply. BTC: STH LTH Net Position Realized Cap The Setup For A Squeeze Is Building Speaking of tightening supply, data from the derivatives market is showing a signal as to how there might be an incoming short squeeze. The impression across derivatives and spot metrics is a market where bearish sentiment has become heavily concentrated in leveraged positions, while physical supply is migrating off crypto exchanges. Funding rates across all major exchanges came in at -0.0118% on April 10 and -0.0101% on April 11, two consecutive sessions of strongly negative readings. Negative funding has become the dominant regime since late March, and throughout April the metric has remained in negative territory without a single positive flip. Bitcoin Funding Rates The negative funding means short positions are paying longs to maintain their bearish exposure, and short positions are becoming overcrowded. At the same time, open interest climbed from around $21.87 billion on April 6 to $24.37 billion by April 10. Rising open interest alongside persistently negative funding is a characteristic signature of leveraged short accumulation. Meanwhile, spot supply continues to tighten up. Many coins are being moved off crypto exchanges, and exchange netflows recorded about 7,900 BTC in outflows over April 9 and 10 combined.

Bitwise Submits Second Amended Hyperliquid ETF Filing — Launch Imminent?

According to the latest report, Bitwise has taken a step closer toward the launch of its proposed spot Hyperliquid (HYPE) exchange-traded fund (ETF) after filing a second amendment with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Bitwise Updates List Of Countertrading Parties In Hyperliquid ETF Filing On Friday, April 10th, Bitwise submitted its second amendment to its spot Hyperliquid with the SEC, introducing new names to the list of approved trading counterparties ahead of an imminent launch in the US. This latest filing included FalconX, Flowdesk, Nonco, and Wintermute as approved trading counterparties for the asset manager. Earlier in its first amendment filing in December 2025, Bitwise revealed the fund’s BHYP ticker, an annual management fee of 0.67%, and a proposal to generate additional profit through HYPE staking. Also, the asset management fund had listed three trading counterparties at the time, including A1 (now dropped off), Nonco, and Solios (disclosed as a d/b/a of FalconX). In a post on the social media platform, Bloomberg senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas highlighted the second amendment filing, saying that this latest update suggests that the fund’s launch might be imminent. Despite competition from two other asset managers, Bitwise looks set to win the race for the first spot ETF linked to Hyperliquid’s native token, HYPE. 21Shares followed with an application of its own to launch a Hyperliquid ETF in October 2025, while Grayscale submitted its own filing in late March 2026. Upon approval (which looks like a matter of when rather than if), Bitwise’s HYPE ETF will debut on the NYSE Arca stock exchange and offer investors exposure to the spot price of Hyperliquid. HYPE Price Overview Despite the raging market uncertainty this year, Hyperliquid’s native token HYPE has been one of the best performers so far. In fact, it can be said that the decentralized perpetual futures trading protocol has been one of the major winners from the Middle East tensions, as traders looked to gain market exposure even outside of regular trading hours. Data from CoinGecko shows that the price of HYPE is up by more than 65% year-to-date and almost 200% in the past full year. As bullish momentum returned to the cryptocurrency market his week, investors have seen the altcoin’s price reclaim the $40 mark, jumping by nearly 20% in the past week. As of this writing, the price of HYPE sits just beneath $43, reflecting a nearly 3% jump in the past 24 hours.
