HTF SOL Chart Analysis and long trigger

Solana has proven itself to be one of the strongest performers this bull market, maintaining a continuous "bull signal" (12 EMA fast / 25 EMA slow) since October 2023, when it was trading around $20. Remarkably, the EMAs have not had a bearish cross since then on weekly timeframe, signaling persistent strength.

Current Outlook:
The price is currently trading well above the EMA bands, and the macro structure resembles a cup-and-handle, a classic bullish continuation pattern. While this setup could imply further upside, caution is warranted for traders considering new positions at these levels.

Trading Plan:
Retest of $200 Zone (Purple Box): If the price revisits the $200 level, I’ll look for opportunities to long, provided it shows strength and holds as support. This level aligns with previous macro key levels and offers a favorable entry point with tight risk management.

Breakout Without Retest: If SOL breaks out from current levels without a retest, existing spot positions will benefit, and related Solana ecosystem tokens (aka memecoins), may experience explosive moves.

Failure of $180 Support: If the $180 support fails, the focus will shift to downside opportunities at lower key levels. Preserving capital for high-probability trades becomes even more critical.

Strategy Reminder:
In these volatile conditions, capital preservation is key. Avoid overtrading; instead, wait for high-conviction entries at pivotal zones:

Use tight stop losses to manage risk effectively - and if you are stopped out, don’t hesitate to re-enter if price reclaims desired zones and shows renewed strength.
This isn’t overtrading; it’s playing the probabilities and executing disciplined trades. Sometimes I get stopped several times before the price finally takes off, making up for the scratches taken.

Solana remains a powerhouse in the market, and this setup offers both bullish continuation potential and opportunities for careful accumulation.
