Solana price needs a breather
Solana price has shot up 1022% since September 2023. The two main reasons for this mind-melting rally are Bitcoin’s bull run and the overselling of SOL due to its connection with the now-bankrupt crypto exchange FTX. Last week, Solana soared 39%, registering the highest weekly gain of 2024.
But in the past five days, Solana price faced massive rejection around the $200 psychological level and is currently trading nearly 16% lower than the previous week’s closing level. This correction is potentially aided by:
- Bitcoin’s bearish outlook: BTC is crashing ahead due to the weekly sell signal. As profit-taking ensues, the pioneer cryptocurrency will likely take altcoins down with it.
- Bearish divergence: The weekly SOL chart has spawned a higher high while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has formed a lower high, indicating a non-conformity termed bearish divergence. This setup often signals a slowdown in momentum which leads to a potential reversal or a short-term pullback.
- MRI's potential sell signal: The Momentum Reversal Index (MRI) has flashed a yellow down arrow, which spawns on the eighth consecutive up candlestick. This development warns that the next up candlestick for SOL would flash a sell signal that forecasts a one-to-four down candlesticks.
Considering the bullish market conditions, a reversal is unlikely, which suggests that SOL is in for a correction. Additionally, the bear market that began in early November 2021 saw a dead cat bounce to $200, which is where SOL is currently facing another sell-off. Therefore, the stable support levels where buyers might find Solana price attractive include the weekly foothold at $152 followed by $134, which is the midpoint of the previous bear market crash.
Ideally a sweep of the $134 would be the best place for accumulation, but due to the extremely bullish outlook investors should note that this move would be have low probability of occurring.

On the other hand, if Solana price flips the $200 psychological level prematurely, the chances of an uptrend continuation are high. However, if Bitcoin price continues to shed, then SOL could follow in its footsteps.
A decisive weekly candlestick close below $134 would suggest a potential shift in trend. This development could attract weak hands to sell their holdings. If the panic sell-off has enough strength to push Solana price to produce a weekly close below $100, it would invalidate the bullish outlook. In such a case, Solana price could crash 11% and revisit the $89 support level.
