Key Price Levels and Indicators
The buzz around Solana took a downturn when the bullish trend struggled to maintain above the $25 mark. An analysis had highlighted the importance of the $22 support level. However, instead of fortifying this benchmark, the SOL token saw this price level turn into a resistance on 12 October. Two primary focal points emerged for traders:
- The $21.5 marker that once served as support was now under the scanner for a potential downward retest.
- The market sentiment surrounding a potential bounce back to $21.6 was wavering.
Diving deeper into the technical charts, Solana’s two-hour chart painted a decisively bearish picture. What’s noteworthy is that a previous support zone ranging between $21.5-$21.84, identified on 9 October, flipped into resistance just three days later. Furthermore, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has hovered below the neutral 50 since 8 October. Such indicators, coupled with the On-Balance Volume (OBV) showcasing a 10-day downtrend, indicated that selling volumes were surpassing buying volumes.
With these shifts, speculations were rife about Solana possibly trending further downwards, eyeing the $20.2 support zone from late August. Other supporting levels, like $21.13 and $20.6, were also discussed as potential halts to this bearish trend.
Market Sentiments and Predictions
Pre-release hours saw SOL clutching to the $21.13 support, hinting at a possible minor rebound. Yet, with the Open Interest (OI) on a decline, the resurgence to the $21.6 resistance, if any, appeared to be propelled majorly by the futures market.
Furthermore, the spot market, which usually offers clear conviction, showed Solana’s spot Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) spiraling downwards since 8 October. This only intensified the anticipations of SOL hitting the $20.2 support zone imminently.
