$SOL Rebounds from $194 – Bulls Target $220 While Token Unlock Threatens $180

Solana just bounced hard on the 1h chart, recovering from $194 to above $202. The $204–$208 zone is now the key battleground, and if bulls can break it, the $220 resistance comes into play. Lose momentum here, and $180 becomes the danger zone.
The fundamentals add fuel and risk at the same time. Solana’s ecosystem hit a record $500M in real-world assets, and the upcoming Alpenglow upgrade — backed by nearly all validators — is set to slash block finality from 12.8 seconds to just 150 milliseconds. That’s a massive speed boost for the chain.
But on the flip side, over 500M $SOL tokens are unlocking this week, and that supply shock could weigh heavy if buying pressure doesn’t hold.
Right now SOL sits right on the edge — breakout above $220 signals strength, but if the floor at $200 cracks, $180 is the level everyone will be watching.
