SOL trades at $78.75, down 7.3% in 24 hours, as price nears the $77.32 support level.

The $76–$77 zone remains critical, with prior demand reactions recorded on the 4H chart.

Resistance stands at $85.38, limiting upside within the current $77–$85 range.
Solana traded near a critical support zone on the four-hour chart after a sharp daily decline. The asset was trading at $78.75 at the time of reporting with a price dropping 7.3 over the last 24 hours, as renewed short-term pressure occurred throughout the market. It is worth noting that the two were floating slightly above a specified support zone of 77.32 and this had the traders speculating on whether the buyers could maintain this support again.
The session’s 24-hour range remained capped below $85.38, which now stands as immediate resistance. Meanwhile, SOL traded at 0.001200 BTC, marking a 4.0% move against Bitcoin. This positioning places the market directly between tested demand and overhead supply, shaping a clearly defined short-term structure.
4H Chart Shows Repeated Defense of Demand Zone
On the four-hour timeframe, price approached the $76–$77 region, identified as a prior demand area. Previously, buyers stepped in around this zone and pushed prices higher, leading to short-term rebounds. The chart reflects several historical reactions near $76, followed by upward movements toward the low- and mid-$80s.

But the recent fall has pushed SOL towards the same band. Consequently, the market is now putting this level to the test as a result of fresh selling pressure. The price of $77.32 is close to the wider $76 support zone, which increases the significance of $77.32 technologically. Consequently, immediate price action centers on whether demand absorbs current supply.
Solana Faces $85.38 Barrier as $77 Support Anchors Four-Hour Range
While support remains under pressure, resistance stands clearly at $85.38. Earlier recovery attempts toward the mid-$80s stalled below this barrier, preventing continuation higher. The 24-hour range confirms that bulls have yet to reclaim this level.
If price rebounds from current levels, the $85–$88 region forms the next upside area to monitor. However, SOL must first stabilize above $77.32 to regain short-term structure. For now, the asset trades between $77 support and $85.38 resistance, defining the ongoing four-hour range.
