Solana Clears Major Resistance Barrier

Furthermore, BitGuru said that momentum is currently gaining rapidly, thus potentially fueling more gains in the near-term future. While Solana’s price stays above its nearest support zones, there are strong chances that the upward momentum will continue.

Solana Price Momentum Turns Positive

There is now more positive momentum on the Solana price because of improvements in a few key technical factors. The RSI has increased to 67.47 and is significantly higher than its moving average of 52.44. This suggests that buying pressure is rising.

Moreover, SOL is trading above the support level of the MA Ribbon in the range of $85.17 to $86.45. Trading above the mentioned range would be a positive development for SOL bulls.

Additionally, the MACD indicator is becoming positive as well, since the MACD line is at 0.89644 while the signal line stands at 0.40557. The green histogram bars are rising, indicating that the bullish momentum is gaining strength as the price action remains sideways for weeks now.

Overall, in case the buying pressure persists at the same rate, investors expect the Solana price to test the psychological resistance at $100 in the coming sessions.
