Solana trades choppy near key $123-$129 support as Forward Industries ramps its SOL treasury and Bitcoin Hyper’s Solana-based Bitcoin L2 fuels a mixed outlook.
Solana (SOL) is likely to trade choppy but slightly bid today, with bulls defending the $123-$129 support band while eyeing a potential push toward the mid-$130s if broader crypto sentiment stays constructive and spot flows remain positive, but a clean break below $123 would open room toward $116 and invalidate any near-term rebound narrative.
Forward Industries, a Nasdaq-listed company, has increased its Solana holdings to over 6.97 million tokens since mid-December, according to a press release from the firm.
The company initiated its Solana treasury strategy in September 2025 and has generated over 133,450 Solana in staking rewards since that time, the release stated. The firm said it has compounded its Solana-per-share through these staking operations.
Forward Industries also announced it has become the first publicly traded company to offer its shares directly on-chain, marking an expansion of its Solana-based operations.
The announcement comes as altcoins have seen fresh capital inflows in the new year, with institutional investors showing renewed interest in digital assets beyond Bitcoin.
Technical analysis of Solana’s price chart shows a year-long descending triangle pattern approaching a key support level. The cryptocurrency is retesting a two-year demand zone that forms the base of this pattern, according to market data.
Momentum indicators present mixed signals. The Relative Strength Index has fallen slightly below neutral levels, while the Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator recently showed a death cross pattern. Analysts note these indicators could reflect consolidation rather than a trend reversal.
Solana has faced resistance levels that have capped price gains since September, according to chart data. The cryptocurrency would need to break through these resistance levels to approach its previous all-time highs.
A separate project called Bitcoin Hyper has raised presale funding for a Layer-2 network that aims to combine Bitcoin’s security infrastructure with Solana’s technology framework. The project seeks to address Bitcoin’s scalability limitations, including transaction speed, fees, and programmability constraints.
The Layer-2 solution is designed to enable decentralized finance applications and real-world asset tokenization on Bitcoin’s network, functionality that has been limited on the base layer.
