I have been seeing a lot of people on X charting a high time frame cup and handle for BTC.
I was scanning my watchlist in Trading View and noticed that Solana is also forming a cup and handle on the weekly time frame.
One of the great things about trading view is they provide an educational section that covers a multitude of topics.
I used this tool to review some commonly noted criteria for cup and handle and the SOL chart checks out.
We see a rounded bottom formation. The current price action is following a parallel channel forming the handle of our high time frame cup.
So far we have not re-traced more than 50% of the cup. I’ve noted a demand zone, which also happens to be a bullish order block (blue box).
We wicked into once, but I can see price revisiting that area potentially once more before we head higher.
The interesting thing is if we draw our target for the cup and handle we arrive at a price that coincides with us hitting the 2.618 of a Fibonacci extension for our handle price action.
Could it all line up so perfectly?
That would be a retrace to almost exactly 50% of the cup and an extension to the 2.618 Fib level.
This puts our price target at $375 for SOL at the peak of our bull market.
