An analyst has pointed out how the latest retrace in Solana has come after rejection from the resistance level of a Parallel Channel. Solana Failed Parallel Channel Resistance Retest In a new post on X, analyst Ali Martinez has talked about a technical analysis (TA) pattern forming in the daily price chart of Solana.

Hyperliquid’s lead in onchain perpetuals drew a fresh challenge from the Solana ecosystem after Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko, known as Toly, argued that Solana needs its own atomically composable perp DEX inside the SVM.
