Crypto trader The Moon Show sees a breakout from a massive symmetrical triangle, targeting $295.

Altcoin Sherpa acknowledges short-term weakness in Solana's ecosystem, citing subdued price action. While bullish long-term, Sherpa identifies $180 as a potential support level if current prices falter.

Statistics: DefiLlama data shows Solana's total value locked at $8.8 billion.

Coinglass data reports Solana's open interest at $6.05 billion, close to its all-time high levels.

Long liquidations dropped significantly, from $57.4 million on Dec. 9 to $8.43 million on Dec. 10, reflecting stabilization.

What's Next: Solana's current flatlining could be a period of consolidation before a breakout. Open interest and trading activity underscores that traders are watching the altcoin closely, suggesting a high likelihood of future volatility.
