$SOL is trying to wake up after a sharp drop and the price is now fighting to hold above the $81 zone. Right now SOL/USDT is trading near $81.97 after bouncing from the $80.48 low, showing buyers are quietly stepping back in.

Short-term structure looks like a slow recovery with higher lows forming on the lower timeframe. Immediate resistance sits around $82.50–$83.00. If bulls push through this area with volume, momentum can expand quickly toward the mid-$85 zone.

On the downside, $80.40 remains the key support. Losing this level could bring another liquidity sweep lower, so this zone is very important to watch.

Volume is decent and volatility is picking up, which usually comes before a bigger move. For now, SOL is in a decision zone either it breaks out clean or gives traders one more shakeout.

Stay alert. The next move could be fast.
