4-hour timeframe candlestick view of SOL/USDT (Solana perpetual futures or spot on Gate.io), with the price at $85.02 (up +0.62%).
This aligns closely with current live market data as of February 22, 2026, where SOL trades around $85.00–$85.20 (with minor fluctuations across exchanges, 24h range roughly $84.00–$86.70, and positive daily momentum of ~0.6–0.9%).
Here's a breakdown of the key technical elements visible on the chart and what they suggest: Price Action & Recent Structure SOL is in a short-term recovery/rebound phase after dipping to a low around $79.63 (marked as a recent swing low).
From that bottom, price has formed a series of higher lows and is pushing toward/through recent highs near $85–$86.
The current candle is testing/residing near $85, close to the session high of $86.73 (24h high).
Overall, this looks like a corrective bounce within a broader consolidation or mild downtrend from earlier February highs (which were around $91–$100+ based on recent history).
Moving Averages (MAs) MA5 (short-term, likely red/orange): ~$85.62 → Slightly above current price → minor resistance or overhead pressure in the very short term.
MA10: ~$85.15 → Very close to spot price → Acting as near-term dynamic support/resistance; price is essentially hugging/testing it.
Shorter MAs are flattening/turning up, while the longer one lags below this hints at early bullish momentum on the 4h chart, but not yet a strong trend reversal.
MACD (12,26,9) MACD line: 0.22 (positive) DIF (signal line difference): +0.43 DEA (signal): 0.21 Histogram: Positive and expanding slightly (green bars).
This shows bullish momentum building on the 4h timeframe the MACD has crossed above the signal line recently and is curling upward from oversold/near-zero levels. No strong divergence visible, supporting the rebound.
Volume 24h volume: ~470K SOL (~$40M USDT turnover). Bottom panel shows volume bars with MA volume lines (pink/purple) recent bars are mixed but not exploding higher.
Volume during the bounce from ~$79–$80 has been decent but not particularly convective suggests the move is relief rather than strong conviction buying yet.
Key Levels to Watch Immediate resistance: $86.00–$86.73 (24h high) → Then $88–$91 (prior swing highs from mid-February and MA clusters).
Support: $83–$84 (near MA30 and recent structure) → Stronger support at $79.63–$80.00 (recent low) → Break below could target $76–$78 or lower liquidity zones.
Broader context: SOL has been in a multi-week correction from January/early February highs (~$100–$118 range), now sitting ~25–30% down from those peaks, with market sentiment still cautious (some reports note extreme fear readings).
Overall Technical Bias (4h Timeframe) Short-term bullish/neutral-positive: The rebound off $79.63, price above key MAs (especially MA30), positive MACD crossover, and small green momentum suggest buyers are defending this zone. A clean break above $86–$87 with rising volume could target $90+ quickly.
But cautious: Momentum isn't explosive, volume is average, and we're still in a broader corrective phase. Overbought risks if it pushes too hard without follow-through.
Not yet a confirmed reversal needs sustained closes above $86–$88 to shift the structure more convincingly bullish.

4-hour timeframe candlestick view of SOL/USDT (Solana perpetual futures or spot on Gate.io), with the price at $85.02 (up +0.62%).
This aligns closely with current live market data as of February 22, 2026, where SOL trades around $85.00–$85.20 (with minor fluctuations across exchanges, 24h range roughly $84.00–$86.70, and positive daily momentum of ~0.6–0.9%).
Here's a breakdown of the key technical elements visible on the chart and what they suggest:
Price Action & Recent Structure
SOL is in a short-term recovery/rebound phase after dipping to a low around $79.63 (marked as a recent swing low).
From that bottom, price has formed a series of higher lows and is pushing toward/through recent highs near $85–$86.
The current candle is testing/residing near $85, close to the session high of $86.73 (24h high).
Overall, this looks like a corrective bounce within a broader consolidation or mild downtrend from earlier February highs (which were around $91–$100+ based on recent history).
Moving Averages (MAs)
MA5 (short-term, likely red/orange): ~$85.62 → Slightly above current price → minor resistance or overhead pressure in the very short term.
MA10: ~$85.15 → Very close to spot price → Acting as near-term dynamic support/resistance; price is essentially hugging/testing it.
MA30: ~$83.81 → Below price → Bullish alignment (price > MA30), providing underlying support.
Shorter MAs are flattening/turning up, while the longer one lags below this hints at early bullish momentum on the 4h chart, but not yet a strong trend reversal.
MACD (12,26,9)
MACD line: 0.22 (positive)
DIF (signal line difference): +0.43
DEA (signal): 0.21
Histogram: Positive and expanding slightly (green bars).
This shows bullish momentum building on the 4h timeframe the MACD has crossed above the signal line recently and is curling upward from oversold/near-zero levels. No strong divergence visible, supporting the rebound.
Volume
24h volume: ~470K SOL (~$40M USDT turnover).
Bottom panel shows volume bars with MA volume lines (pink/purple) recent bars are mixed but not exploding higher.
Volume during the bounce from ~$79–$80 has been decent but not particularly convective suggests the move is relief rather than strong conviction buying yet.
Key Levels to Watch
Immediate resistance: $86.00–$86.73 (24h high) → Then $88–$91 (prior swing highs from mid-February and MA clusters).
Support: $83–$84 (near MA30 and recent structure) → Stronger support at $79.63–$80.00 (recent low) → Break below could target $76–$78 or lower liquidity zones.
