SOL · 1H · SIDEWAYS

Price has been grinding in a wide chop zone roughly between 63 and 76 since the sharp drop from 83 in late May. The most recent structure shows a swing up to ~74 around June 25–26, followed by a quick rejection and pullback to current 71.57 — price is now sitting mid-range between the ~70 support zone and the ~74 resistance cluster. There's no clean trending structure here, just a series of lower highs off the June 15 peak at ~76 and higher lows building from the ~63 bottom, which tells me this is compression with no confirmed directional break. I'm not chasing anything mid-range — I'm waiting for price to reach a structural edge before committing. Worth noting: OpenAI just named one of their new GPT-5.6 models "Sol," which could pull speculative attention toward SOL/USDT in the short term, but I'm treating that as noise until the chart confirms a breakout.
