Current market analysis for Solana

Currently, on the 4-hour chart, the SOL price after trying to move up began to fall again with the declines of two bearish candlesticks. Additionally, Solana is trading below the 100-day basic moving average (SMA), which indicates that the price may remain bearish.

Although this is indicated by the composite trend oscillator indicator on the 4-hour chart SOL price may rise as both the signal line and the SMA of the indicator are heading towards the zero line, it is critical to note that this is only a short-term measure as the price will eventually fall even further.

Meanwhile, on the 1-day chart, you can see that Solana is in a bearish trend, trading below the 100-day SMA and also trying to shed the bearish candle with mighty momentum.

Additionally, the signal line and SMA of the 1-day composite trend oscillator have broken below the zero line and are heading towards the oversold zone, suggesting that SOL price may be moving very bearishly.

Expert opinions on SOL’s pricing outlook

At the moment, the price of Solana is falling towards Support level $140. If SOL breaks below this level, it will continue downwards, testing the $118 support level, and may move further to challenge the $99 support level if it breaks below the $118 level.

Nevertheless, prices may start to rise towards the $160 resistance level if they fail to break any of the previously mentioned levels. If it breaks above the $160 level, it will continue to rise and challenge the resistance level at $188. Moreover, if SOL breaks above this level, there could also be a higher price move that will challenge the $205 resistance level on the chart.
