Based on the historical price momentum, the last time SOL reached to $160 level it experienced massive selling pressure and fell to the $140 level. However, this time there is a high possibility that SOL could fall again to the $140 level.
Currently, SOL’s open interest also supports this bearishness as it has dropped by 7% in the last 24 hours, indicating reduced interest from investors, according to CoinGlass data.
Whereas, the technical indicator named 200 Exponential Moving Average (EMA) signaling SOL is still in an uptrend as it is moving above it.

However, investors still look at accumulating tokens in this range. Recently, an on-chain analytic firm lookonchain made a post on X (Previously Twitter) stating that Whale has purchased a significant 28,717 SOL worth $4.56 million in this consolidation zone from Binance.
