Veteran trader Peter Brandt warns that Solana's native token SOL may face a major breakdown after forming a 14-week rectangle pattern on its weekly chart, signaling a possible 50% price drop to around $43.70. This pattern could confirm a larger head-and-shoulders formation indicating a bearish trend. SOL has struggled to maintain bullish momentum, underperforming the broader crypto market by about 12% in 2026 amid declining interest in decentralized applications. Currently trading near $86.64, if SOL breaks below the rectangle support, the bearish scenario could materialize, posing significant risks for investors.
