Martinez’s take on Solana is based on the monthly timeframe for the cryptocurrency’s price action. As he pointed out, Solana’s price action over the past few years most likely looks like that of a cup and handle pattern.This formation cuts across the 2022 bear market, the 2023 consolidation plus recovery, and the 2024 bull market. 

In terms of formation period, the cup part of the pattern was formed throughout 2022, 2023, and early 2024, when Solana broke above the resistance trendline for the first time. The handle formation was formed by Solana’s up-and-down movement around the $200 price level for most of 2024, which eventually culminated in a breakout to a new all-time highof $263 in November.

As shown in the chart below, the cup and handle formation seems to have been completed already, and the only thing left is to wait and see how much Solana surges to the upside. In terms of a price target, Martinez made use of the Fibonacci extension indicator, projecting it from the 2022 bear market low of $9.96. The target is around the 2.00 Fib extension level, which puts the projected target around $4,000.

Understanding The Cup And Handle: A Proven Bullish Formation

The cup-and-handle pattern is a classic technical indicator often associated with bullish market behavior. It consists of a rounded “cup” that represents a period of consolidation and recovery, followed by a smaller “handle,” indicating a brief consolidation before a breakout.

According to Thomas N. Bulkowski, who Martinez also highlighted in his analysis,the cup-and-handle ranks as the third most effective bullish pattern, with a 61% likelihood of achieving its projected target. Considering the unpredictable nature of cryptocurrencies, the odds this pattern presents is quite notable.
