Solana Price On the Edge

The price of Solana dropped by 12.6% in the last 24 hours to $122.82 during the London trading session, reflecting the panic in the general crypto market.

SOL price is currently in a downward trend. The chart shows a descending triangle with a fake breakout (fake out) above the resistance, followed by a strong decline. The recent candlestick pattern indicates a strong bearish move with a large red candle, suggesting continued downward momentum.

The 50-day EMA is at $157.14, and the 200-day EMA is at $138.86. Both are above the current price, confirming the bearish trend. 

The grey band highlights the SOL price’s temporary support at $100 and a stronger support zone between $60 and $80. If the price action breaks both of these barriers, Solana may drop back $52. The Solana price chart also sports resistance at $138.86 (200-day EMA), followed by $157.14 (50-day EMA).

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 29.43, indicating that the price is in oversold territory. This might lead to a short-term bounce, but the overall trend remains bearish. The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) is at -0.10 and heading downward, indicating capital outflow from the asset and increasing selling pressure. This further supports the bearish outlook.

The volume is significantly high at 12.082 M, indicating strong selling pressure and confirming the downward move.

A break above the 50 and 200 EMA may invalidate the bearish thesis and set a course back to $188 and $210. However, that is unlikely currently.
