Solana price to see 15% relief bounce as SOL bounces off vital support level

  • Solana price is hovering around the $153.20 support level, suggesting a potential reversal could be in play.
  • Investors can expect a 15% upswing to $175.76 after a successful bounce off the $153.20 barrier.
  • A breakdown of the $140.23 foothold will invalidate the short-term bullish thesis and potentially send SOL to $124.

Solana price has been shedding its gains steadily since setting up an all-time high on November 6. This downtrend has already sliced through multiple layers of support levels and is currently bouncing off another one. Investors can expect SOL to see a relief bounce before it either continues its descent or establishes a bullish bias.

Solana price to see some bullish action

Solana price dropped 16% over the past 24 hours from $176.82 to $147.93. This sudden price drop can be attributed to the big crypto and the general weakness seen among altcoins. As SOL trades around $154, investors can expect a bullish reaction off the current support level to propel the Ethereum-killer to retest the $175 hurdle.

This move would constitute a 15% gain and is likely where it will end. However, in a highly bullish case, the uptrend could extend to $181.64, indicating a 19% run-up.

If the overall outlook for the cryptocurrency markets sees a paradigm shift favoring the bulls, market participants should see SOL climb higher. However, if the sellers continue their assault, SOL will head lower and revisit other support floors.

While things are looking up for Solana price, a failure to hold above the $153.20 support level will knock SOL down to $140.23. Here, the buyers have another chance at a relief bounce to $175.76. Failure to pull through will result in further descent. If Solana price produces a lower low below this level, it will invalidate the bullish thesis and potentially trigger a crash to $124.18.
