However, Solana must turn $148 into support or risk a correction below $100 in the coming days or weeks, argues popular analyst Hov, who wrote&nbsp;in an Aug. 6 X <a href="https://x.com/HovWaves/status/1820885602272997483" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">post</a>:
<blockquote data-ct-non-breakable="true">
 “SOL is at an important level though. If it can get a higher timeframe (HTF) close above $148 I think it’ll carry to roughly $180…”
