All distances in this read are expressed as a percentage of the current price of Solana (101.70 at the 2026-08-25 snapshot).
What changed since last week's read
Last week's Solana read tracked a shelf leaving both the 3D and weekly ledgers. This week the departure is not one level but an entire ladder. Price is 34.97% higher than at the previous snapshot (75.35 to 101.70), and four resistances have left the 3D list at once: 76.965 (2 touches, last week's nearest), 83.98, 92.322 (5 touches — the most-tested level anywhere in last week's Solana 3D ledger) and 98.045 (2 touches). The weekly shed three of its own — 83.98, 90.73 and 98.045 — and the monthly dropped 98.41. Every named level that stood between price and the low 100s a week ago is gone from the scan.
The labels moved as much as the ledger. The weekly trend flipped down to up, weekly momentum bearish to bullish, and 3D momentum neutral to overbought, with the 3D RSI running from 47.75 to 73.60. The 3D efficiency ratio went from 0.0809 to 0.8357 — a 932.8% change, the largest efficiency move in this week's nine-cell board, and the highest single efficiency reading of the nine. Trend strength on both faster frames went weak to strong. The alignment label reads conflicting for a third consecutive week while its contents inverted: 3D up, weekly down, monthly down has become 3D up, weekly up, monthly down.
The read now
- 3D — trend up, strength strong, RSI 73.60 in the overbought band, efficiency ratio 0.8357. The SMA20 at 79.441 stands 21.89% below price, the EMA20 at 81.788 stands 19.58% below. An efficiency ratio at that level describes an advance that has been close to a straight line rather than a back-and-forth range: nearly all of the distance travelled has been net directional.
- Weekly — trend up, strength strong, RSI 57.84, efficiency ratio 0.5689. SMA20 80.932 (20.42% below price), EMA20 81.902 (19.47% below). The two weekly averages are 0.97 apart, less than 1% of price, so both frames' averages now cluster in the low 80s while price trades above 100.
- Monthly — trend down, strength strong, RSI 46.21, momentum neutral. This is the one cell in the entire nine-cell board whose trend strength did not change this week; it was strong last week and it is strong now. Its averages remain well above price — SMA20 133.85 stands 31.62% above and EMA20 129.79 stands 27.62% above, the largest separation between a 20-period average and its own asset's price anywhere in this week's board. Its RSI at 46.21 is also the lowest of the nine readings.
That combination is the most notable structural fact about Solana right now: the fastest frame is the most directional on the board while the slowest frame is the furthest below its own averages of anything measured.
Levels and zones
Because the near ladder cleared, the 3D scan currently lists nothing between price and 147.825 (2 touches), 45.35% above. The weekly is nearly identical, naming 147.71 with 3 touches at 45.24% above, and the monthly names 143.51 at 41.11% above. Three independent timeframe scans all pointing to the low-to-mid 140s as the first level above price is the closest thing to agreement in this snapshot. It is worth stating plainly what this does and does not mean: the scan reports pivots the price history actually formed, so an empty stretch is an absence of prior pivots, not a statement that trading interest is absent there.
Below price the picture rebuilt rather than emptied. The 3D now names 80.83 with 2 touches (20.52% below price) and, beneath it, 74.955 with 4 touches (26.30% below) — both new to the list, replacing the departed 73.39 and 60.13. The weekly lists 95.26 at 6.33% below price, the nearest support in the whole Solana snapshot, then a 72.6025 shelf at 4 touches. On the monthly, the support reading re-resolved from 67.66 (3 touches) to 81.648 (5 touches), 19.72% below price — a level that gained touches as well as moving.
Two bullish order blocks appeared this week, both 4 bars old and both well beneath price: 74.69–76.62 on the 3D and 70.58–77.50 on the weekly. The 3D zone spans 1.90% of price, the narrowest order block anywhere in this week's board across the three assets. Neither frame carries a bearish zone, and the monthly carries no zones at all. Order blocks mark where earlier trading concentrated; conventionally they are described as areas of interest rather than as destinations.
Measured against its own range, Solana's 3D structure is the widest on the board: the 20.52%-below to 45.35%-above band spans 65.88% of price, or 12.17 times one 3D ATR (5.51). For comparison, Bitcoin's weekly band spans 0.37 of its own ATR. Solana is trading in the loosest-defined structure of the three assets this week.
