Solana’s price action over the past 24 hours has been marked by a decisive move above the $135 level, a development that could signal growing bullish momentum. This breakout follows several days of sideways movement, during which the Solana price traded within a narrow range between $124 and $135.  Related Reading Whales Swallowing Bitcoin Fast — Will This Push BTC Price Up? 21 hours ago

Although the recent move above this consolidation zonehints at a potential upward continuation, on-chain data reveals that significant resistance awaits near $144, which may serve as the next major test for bulls. Levels That Will Define Next Solana Breakout

According to a post onsocial media platform X by crypto analyst Ali Martinez, Solana’s current trading range between $129 and $144 is very important to how it goes from here. Particularly, Martinez noted that the most important support for the Solana price is at $129, while the key resistance to watch sits at $144.

This commentary aligns closely with the data shown in a chart shared by the analyst, sourced from Glassnode’s UTXO Realized Price Distribution (URPD): ATH-Partitioned model.

The volume bars shown in the URPD data below indicate that Solana’s price is boxed in between dense clusters of buying and selling activity. The tallest concentration is currently around the $129 to $144 region.

The chart highlights that roughly 5.75% of all the current realized volume for SOL occurred near the $129 price point, making this level a strong support zone. Interestingly, its importance was reinforced on April 17, when Solana’s price reboundedsharply after briefly dipping to this level. SOL is currently trading at $139.6. Chart: TradingView

Similarly, the $144 level also holds about 5% of the volume, acting as a resistanceceiling in the short term. This price zone previously rejected bullish attempts in the final week of March, confirming it as a short-term ceiling for upward momentum.

Together, these two levels form a tightly contested range, and a breakout beyond either boundary will likely dictate whether Solana enters a new bullish leg or retraces further.

The UTXO Realized Price Distribution (URPD): ATH-Partitioned is an advanced on-chain metric that maps out where current coin holders acquired their tokens in relation to the all-time high (ATH). When a price level shows a high concentration of realized volume, it implies that a significant number of tokens were bought at that level.

These clusters tend to act as psychological support or resistance, since holders may be more inclined to defend breakeven zones (support) or exit at previous loss zones (resistance), depending on market sentiment. Related Reading BNB Weathers The Storm Better Than Altcoins, Stats Show 1 day ago

In terms of market sentiment, current market sentiment is gradually turning bullish for Solana, and the recent break above $135 puts the $144 level in focus, at least in the short term. The price could reach there this new week, or a drawdown in sentiment could bring the $129 into focus as the level to hold. 

At the time of writing, Solana was trading at $139, up by 3.6% in the past 24 hours.
