Some traders have recently reopened positions in SOL, optimistic about its relative performance among the three major mainstream cryptocurrencies. From a technical perspective, SOL's swing trading structure is quite clear, with widespread expectations of a short-term challenge to the $160 level. If Bitcoin can break through $100,000, SOL may further surge toward $200.

However, market participants are now more concerned about whether Bitcoin can hold the $90,000 support level. Some investors have openly stated that they hope this recent decline is just a normal shakeout before a big rally, rather than a signal of a trend reversal. This concern reflects the true mindset of many traders at the moment—seeking certainty amid uncertainty.

This round of SOL is indeed interesting; $160 feels just around the corner. If BTC can't hold $90, I'll admit defeat, to be honest.

Whether SOL can reach 160 depends on BTC's performance. It's a bit frustrating to feel like we're being hostage to the big players.

This wave of SOL is indeed structurally clear, but to be honest, it still depends on whether BTC can hold above 90,000... Otherwise, it's all just empty talk.

Sol, I really can't see through this move... 160 is a bit uncertain, still have to wait and see BTC's reaction.

SOL this round really has highlights; 160 is nothing, it's all about whether BTC can step up. If 90,000 doesn't hold, then 160 and 200 are all pointless. Honestly, it still depends on the big guy's mood. Is it a shakeout or a reversal? Brother, if you ask me, I don't know either... But based on this trend, I choose to keep adding positions and gamble a bit. This kind of uncertainty is the biggest test of mentality. To put it nicely, it's about seeking certainty; to be blunt, it's about having no confidence in your mind. SOL's technical structure is indeed clear, but with the market so unpredictable, clarity doesn't necessarily mean accuracy.

Optimistic about SOL? Just said 160, and now it's about to reach 200. The logic... Anyway, I'll wait for BTC to stabilize first before making any moves.

This wave of SOL really feels like it's about to take off, just depends on whether BTC can hold at 90,000... If this is just a shakeout, that would be great.

Can SOL break 160 this time? I’m really unsure... Bitcoin is still struggling there too. --- Is it a shakeout or a shift? Honestly, who can predict accurately? Anyway, I’m just holding on tight. --- 160, 200... sounds nice, but Bitcoin needs to stay above 90,000 first. --- The group rebuilding their SOL positions has some guts. I’m still watching. --- Instead of worrying about whether there will be a shakeout, it’s better to think about whether your position can withstand a drop.

I'm also watching SOL this time. 160 is indeed a key level, but to be honest, everyone is just following BTC now. As long as Bitcoin can't hold 90,000, don't expect much... Who can say for sure whether it's a shakeout or a shift? It's all 20/20 hindsight.

This move by SOL is really interesting; $160 feels within reach. But the question is whether BTC can hold up... If $90,000 can't be maintained, everything else is pointless.
