Solana's 40% August rally, driven by strong on-chain activity and rising ETF inflows, could sustain momentum toward a $140 year-end price.

Despite the August rally, SOL's ratio against Ethereum was still down more than 10% over the third quarter of 2026 because Ethereum gained 55% while Solana gained 40% in the same period. [^1]

Prediction markets priced in a 50% or greater probability at the end of August 2026 that Solana would reach a price of $140 by the end of 2026, implying roughly a 50% move from current levels. [^2]

Solana's token SOL rose 40% in August 2026, posting its best monthly performance since the 2024 post-election cycle, and outperformed Ethereum during that month with the SOL/ETH ratio climbing over 7%. [^3]

the article asserts that if SOL can break and sustain above the $100 resistance level, the $140 year-end target becomes substantially more plausible. [^4]

On 2026-09-01, top traders' long/short ratio was 66.8% long and retail 65.8% long, but the taker buy/sell ratio stood at 0.7496, with buy volume of 236,000 contracts versus sell volume of 315,000; open interest fell 0.93% in 24 hours and funding rate was 0.0037%. [^5]

SOL's ATR was $6.95 on 2026-09-01, with immediate support at $101.99 and strong support at $100.68; the 7-day SMA was at $104.16, and the coin had not closed cleanly above $105 that session, encountering resistance at $104.81 and $106.32. [^6]

SOL's MACD histogram printed exactly zero on 2026-09-01 with the signal line and MACD line converged, while RSI was 69, Stochastic %K was 78.54 and %D was 62.83, and price sat at the 0.74 position between the middle and upper Bollinger Bands with the upper ceiling at $115.45. [^7]

Solana (SOL) traded at $103.31 on 2026-09-01, more than 25% above both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, which were in the low $80s. [^8]
