Solana (SOL) remains under bearish pressure after failing to sustain a rally, with analysts warning of further downside for the Solana price if key support weakens. Despite weak technical signals, Solana continues expanding its Web3 presence through its partnership with the Open Transaction Layer for cross-chain interoperability.
At the time of writing, SOL is trading at $82.18 with a 24-hour trading volume of $3.03 billion and a market capitalization of $47.52 billion. After the 1.42% gain over the last 24 hours, the SOL price could be pushed to new highs amid network growth.

Solana Price Slides Into Consolidation After Failed Rally
According to the crypto analyst Sjuul, the Solana price continues to face strong bearish pressure after its rejection near the $98 resistance zone.
Since then, the Solana price has formed a clear downtrend, with lower highs and lower lows signaling weakening momentum. Analysts say the $88 level has now turned into major resistance, preventing buyers from regaining short-term market control for now.

Now that the Solana price is back on the path of consolidation, investors have been paying attention to the support line at $76 as the next level of downward momentum.
Bearish momentum will continue unless the bulls take control and breach the resistance line at $88. If the bulls manage to do so, there might be a chance for recovery for the Solana price.

Solana Remains Trapped Below Key Moving Averages
According to TradingView, the Solana price is still locked into a major downtrend lasting several months, with a heavy burden of overhead resistance pressure.
The 100-day and 200-day exponential moving averages, both trending downward, indicate a strong bearish bias in the larger picture. At the same time, the 20-day and 50-day EMAs are restraining the current price at 82.29.

However, RSI for 14 periods is still weak at 39.57. A break below 50 levels proves that the sellers continue to have strength, even though the asset is not oversold at the moment.
The Solana price is hanging on support from previous spring lows, and a break below this level may push prices lower towards new local lows.
Solana Backs OTL for Cross-Chain Growth
The data from Solana further highlighted that Solana has already been recognized as one of the founding partners of the OTL project, which is basically an open protocol designed to facilitate transactions on multiple blockchain platforms.
This technology ensures that there are standard protocols in place for identity verification, compliance processes, and messaging, which will allow for smoother transactions between blockchains like Solana.

Open Transaction Layer attempts to counter the challenge of fragmentation in the crypto industry by offering a common infrastructure layer that will allow developers, institutions, and blockchains to connect.
The involvement of Solana highlights how the protocol is growing in its role in Web3 infrastructure, as it will help improve interoperability, institutional adoption, and asset movement on blockchains worldwide.
