Google's Gemini AI has laid out a year-end price target of $250 to $320 for Solana — a call that would roughly triple or quadruple the token from its current level near $74. The forecast lands as Solana trades around $73.99, far from the AI's bull-case scenario but close to the lower end of what some chart watchers consider a buying zone.
The bull case for Solana
Gemini's bullish outlook hinges on Solana's monolithic architecture, which the AI says gives it an edge in handling high-frequency volume. The potential approval of a spot Solana ETF is another catalyst, along with the network's growing share of decentralized physical infrastructure networks, or DePIN. Those factors could drive demand and push prices higher through 2026.
The bear case and technical floor
But the AI also flagged headwinds. Macro liquidity tightening could squeeze speculative assets, and recurring network congestion remains a problem for Solana. In a worst-case scenario, Gemini sees the token settling into a structural accumulation floor between $45 and $60. That's roughly where the daily chart shows a double bottom pattern near $60 — a level that's held twice in recent weeks.
Chart setup shows buying pressure
Right now, Solana's daily relative strength index sits at 51.53, above its signal line of 41.70. The reading suggests buying pressure is building, though the price is still below key resistance at $90 and $100. On the downside, support sits at $60. A break below that could test the bear-case floor, while a move above $90 would open the path toward the AI's target range.
LiquidChain targets cross-chain interoperability
Separately, a Layer 3 project called LiquidChain is in presale at $0.01454, having raised over $840,000. The project aims to provide free interoperability between Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana — a feature that, if successful, could strengthen Solana's DePIN and DeFi use cases. The presale is still live, but the team hasn't announced a listing date yet.
