Solana price makes another run towards $100

  • Solana price makes another attempt to break out of its falling wedge pattern.
  • A halt against key resistance appears to stall further buying pressure.
  • Bears look for an opportunity to regain control.

Solana price completed a very bullish close on Wednesday, but the follow-through trading on Thursday appears to be waning. Bulls display weakness and an inability to pursue a clear breakout above some critical resistance levels. As a result, bears may easily regain control of the market.

Solana price at a tipping point, bullish conviction is tested near the $90 value area

Solana price action may be on its way to completing its fourth consecutive green/white daily candlestick, but likely without further follow-through. The price level that SOL is finding difficult moving and closing above is in the $90 to $95 value area. The resistance level that bulls are attempting to break are:

  1. The upper trendline of the rising wedge pattern at $90.
  2. The Kijun-Sen at $92.
  3. The bottom trendline of a prior bull flag at $92.
  4. The 61.8% Fibonacci ret at $92.

The above resistance levels encapsulate the strongest collection of resistance levels on the Solana price daily chart. Bulls will have a much easier time pushing Solana price to $100 and higher if they can break those resistance levels.

However, downside risks remain substantial. Because Solana price is below the Ichimoku Cloud, it is naturally in a bearish mode. Rejection against the $90 resistance cluster would likely mean a continuation of the selling pressure.

The target zone on a bearish continuation move below the descending triangle is likely the $50 value area. $50 is where the upper range of the 2021 Volume Point Of Control and the 100% Fibonacci expansion level exist.
