Solana [SOL] Price Hike Hits Brakes As Reddish Hue Sets On Crypto Market

Solana’s meteoric rise over the past few weeks put it on the map with a rush of new investors further elevating its market cap. The cryptocurrency seemed to ignore bearish signals earlier after SOL hit all-time highs. As the week comes to a close, SOL’s weekly gains were wiped off as it became the biggest loser in the top 10 cryptocurrency club.

In the past 24 hours, Solana witnessed a 15.2 percent dip in value as the token traded for $178.07 on Friday. If Solana’s weekly gains were compared with the rest of the market, it would ironically emerge as the biggest gainer. Solana also saw it’s daily trading volume dwindle to $9.18 billion after a hectic week on the floors.

Solana 1 hour:

With the immediate support near the $155 mark, Solana was still some ways off from breaking it. Technical indicators showed a bearish bump in the market as the momentum shifted downwards.

Relative Strength Index: Solana’s RSI fell towards the oversold zone after a change in investor sentiments. The sudden drop pushed more holders into selling their assets.

MACD: The short term MACD crashed below the histogram as the signal line and the MACD line diverged from one another. Solana’s MACD histogram continued to blink red as the amplitude increased.

PSAR: Markers stayed above the price candles as the sentiment stayed bearish.

Solana 1 day:

In the long term, Solana broke away from its bullish pattern after the formation of two consecutive red candles. This had happened for the first time since the end of July. Solana’s long-term support stayed near the $70 mark with indicators pointing to a slowdown.

Parabolic SAR: The markers here were below the price candles as the current bear run wasn’t enough to disrupt the strong uptrend. A third red candle formation could possibly lead the markers to jump above the candle.

Relative Strength Index: As more people bought Solana in August, the graph stayed above the overbought threshold.

MACD: The signal line and the MACD line moved upwards in tandem, signaling a bullish overturn. According to the MACD histogram, the atmosphere was still bullish for traders to jump into the market.
