Solana (SOL) has been on a generally upward path so far in 2026, with a constructive short-term technical picture suggesting it might reclaim some more gains lost during December’s overall negative trend.
Artificial intelligence (AI) models appear to agree, as their latest projections likewise point to additional upside potential over the coming weeks
The outlook is supported by Solana’s push above the $132 resistance level and a bullish trendline emerging near $135 at the time of writing, the highest level since December 12.
Solana price improves, reclaims key technical levels
Most notably, the MACD histogram turned positive at 1.87, while the 7-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) climbed to 74.7, indicating strong upside pressure. At the same time, a break above the 200-hour Simple Moving Average (SMA) near $134 also appeared to trigger algorithmic buying and short covering, accelerating the move.
Broader market tailwinds added to the upside. Bitcoin (BTC), for instance, is holding well above $92,000, helping stabilize risk appetite, while major altcoins such as XRP are also advancing, helping the total cryptocurrency market capitalization rise to about $3.15 trillion.
AI Solana price prediction for January 2026
With charts hinting at possible short-term gains, Finbold used its AI-driven price prediction tool to gauge Solana month-end price. Blending inputs from ChatGPT, Gemini 2.5 Flash, and Claude Sonnet 4, the model outlined a range of bullish outcomes.
On average, the three models estimated Solana would reach $139.05 by the end of January, suggesting a 2.9% rise from where it currently trades. Claude Sonnet 4 provided the most bullish scenario, with a possible 5.45% advance, whereas Gemini 2.5 Flash and ChatGPT called for a 3.15% and 0.27% gain, respectively.
Taken together, the technical setup and general sector stabilization reflected in the AI-driven forecast point to a largely bullish outlook for Solana into the end of January. If SOL can secure a daily close above $138, it could open the door toward the average predicted $139.05 and eventually $144.74, the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level. Conversely, railure to hold the $132 threshold could prompt a pullback toward initial support at $130.
