Solana’s strong bullish rally lost momentum around the $30 – $32 price level. This provided sellers with an entry point into the higher time frames from the $29 resistance level.
The current choppy market conditions favored SOL bears, with the price making a series of lower highs. However, prices have hovered above a key support level for the past 48 hours, with bulls looking to reverse recent losses.
Bulls have a precedent for strong buying power from the current support level, as seen on July 13. This support level also serves as an important demand zone. Therefore, buyers can bid SOL from this price point with profit targets of $25 – $28.
If the bears break this support level, it will flip the Solana market structure bearish. Sellers can target $18-$20 as short term goals.
Meanwhile, the RSI remained below the neutral 50 as the OBV continued its slow decline. Both indicators supported a bearish extension as of writing.
