Usually, wave 3 is the most powerful and extended, often reaching 1.618x or even 2.618x the length of wave 1.
Therefore, if this uptrend holds, the realistic target for SOL would be $225. However, if the altcoin fails to hold, and loses momentum, wave three could fall off expectations resulting in a pullback.
Can Solana see a sustained recovery?

Outflows have exceeded inflows, indicating more investors are withdrawing their SOL from exchanges than depositing.

Although Solana has declined over the past week, it’s not an isolated case since the wider crypto market has also experienced a dip.
If the market remains optimistic, we could see SOL reclaim $219 and then attempt a $223 breakout.
For this bullish outlook to hold, the altcoin must stay above $200. Conversely, a potential correction could see SOL drop below $200 again.
