Solana price presents buy opportunity before SOL bulls prepare for 30% rally

  • Solana price has presented a long opportunity as it slid lower toward a crucial line of defense.
  • A key technical indicator suggests that SOL has formed a local bottom.
  • If bullish sentiment continues to increase, Solana price may eventually reach $130. 

Solana price has presented a buy opportunity as it dropped to a critical level of support before resuming its prevailing uptrend. The Ethereum-killer is preparing for a major rally toward $130 as a technical indicator suggests that SOL may have just formed a local bottom. 

Solana bulls target $130 next

Solana price has formed an ascending parallel channel on the 12-hour chart, suggesting a bullish outlook for SOL. The Ethereum-killer recently slid toward the lower boundary of the governing technical pattern which acted as a reliable foothold.

The Momentum Reversal Indicator (MRI) has recently flashed a bottom signal, suggesting that Solana price is preparing to reverse the period of underperformance. 

The first obstacle for Solana price will emerge at the 50 twelve-hour Simple Moving Average (SMA) at $104, coinciding with the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level. 

Additional hurdles may appear at the middle boundary of the governing technical pattern at $108, intersecting with the 21 twelve-hour SMA, then at the 50% retracement level at $112.

An additional spike in buy orders may push Solana price higher toward the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level, coinciding with the resistance line given by the MRI at $119.

SOL/USDT 12-hour chart

If buying pressure continues to increase, Solana price will eventually reach the bullish target at the upper boundary of the prevailing chart pattern at $130, where the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level also sits. 

However, if a spike in sell orders occurs, Solana price will once again retest the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level as support at $95, then at the lower boundary of the governing technical pattern at $93.
