Has Solana bottomed?

A confirmed swing low is evidence of a price pattern, not proof of a final market bottom. Here is what the SOL snapshot records on 2026-10-24 UTC:

Monthly: the last confirmed swing low is $70.51 from 2026-08-31. The current candidate is marked confirmed. The latest monthly bar is still forming.

Weekly: the last confirmed swing low is $95.71 from 2026-09-20. A newer candidate at $100.32 is unconfirmed; its confirmation level is above $113.26, provided the candidate low is not undercut first. The latest weekly bar is still forming.

Daily: the last confirmed swing low is $100.32 from 2026-10-18. A newer candidate at $101.02 is unconfirmed; its confirmation level is above $103.00, provided the candidate low is not undercut first.

How bottom confirmation works. Cycle-low confidence is a heuristic score, not a calibrated probability of a profitable trade.
