- However, SOL could still see some short-term downside action before a full blown breakout.

SOL/USD 12-hour chart
The breakout of the pattern has a 33% target calculated using the pattern’s height as a reference point. The only resistance level above is the previous high of $18.20.
Solana price can briefly pause before $18.20 and re-test the previous resistance trendline formed at $15. Losing this key support level will drive SOL down to $14.
