Solana price bulls increased their presence in the market up 4.5% to trade at $24 on Monday. This bullish outlook started with the hype around the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) greenlighting the first Ether futures exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

Investors have from Friday increased exposure to cryptos, triggering rallies across the board but more significantly with Bitcoin (BTC) above $28,000Ethereum above $1,700, and Solana above $24.

Solana Price On the Verge of Validating Move To $30

Solana price is facing a crossroads where it might validate another breakout to $30, or invalidate the uptrend due to resistance at $25. According to the microenvironment on the daily chart, a bullish outcome is highly likely.

A buy signal from the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator upholds the bullish outlook with a buy signal.

However, traders with ongoing exposure to long positions in SOL may be more interested in the position of the momentum indicator – currently above the mean line (0.00). As the MACD ascends into the positive region, traders are encouraged to keep their positions open bolstered by the expectation of an extended breakout to $30.

Solana’s position above all three moving averages, starting with the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) (red), the 100-day EMA (blue), and the 200-day EMA (purple) reveals that buyers have the upper hand.

In other words, there is a higher probability of the uptrend carrying on above $25 and closing the distance to $30 than dropping below $20.

TradingBrokersView, an anonymous analyst on Tradingview, has recently highlighted a repeated trend, where Solana price has broken several falling trendline resistances, rallied and formed a bullish/bearish fractal pattern before retracing.

According to the analyst, “all two prior breakouts over such Resistance in the past 12 months have ended with a new Higher High on our main Channel Up pattern.” Hence, the likelihood of the ongoing breakout stretching to $33 before correcting and holding onto higher support, preferably above $25.

Invalidating Solana Price Bullish Outlook

The resistance at $25 coincides with a descending trendline on the four-hour chart. To continue with the uptrend, Solana must break above this barricade, otherwise, there will be a significant level of risk, with Solana retreating to seek support and liquidity toward $20.

Traders should also ponder the technical outlook from the aspect of the currently bullish MACD indicator. Following a sharp move above the mean line (0.00) to +1.13, a trend reversal is likely. In other words, there is the need to prepare for a sudden pullback, with the backing of the Relative Strength Index (RS) if it starts retreating from the resistance area or is overbought.
