However, the altcoin has maintained a positive signal by closing above the 50-week exponential moving average (EMA) for three consecutive weeks. This critical level has historically acted as a catalyst for significant price rallies.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Solana chart hints at 180% rally to $300 if key technical trend holds\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.cointelegraph.com\/uploads\/2025-05\/019716c6-01ff-7788-9ace-b68203efa5d4\" title=\"\"><figcaption style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Solana 1-week chart.

The relative strength index or RSI on the weekly chart is currently at 52.60, indicating growing buying pressure.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This setup mirrors past patterns where SOL broke above the 50-week EMA and rallied significantly. With current technicals aligning, SOL appears poised to retest the $300 level by late 2025, a key psychological and historical resistance.<\/p>\n<p>Using trend-based Fibonacci (FIB) extensions, SOL\u2019s potential upside could be more compelling. The FIB extension, taken to the January highs of $295 from the recent swing lows near $95, outlines an immediate target of around $300, or a 70% increase.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Solana chart hints at 180% rally to $300 if key technical trend holds\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.cointelegraph.com\/uploads\/2025-05\/019716c5-5c6c-70ee-8549-93f0140c8963\" title=\"\"><figcaption style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Solana Fibonacci trend extension analysis.
