The bearish trend appears unbroken as prices have been unable to surpass the $33 resistance level. The subsequent level of support is $30, where prices found support earlier this week. If this level is broken, Solana prices could tumble to $28. The bears were able to close a daily candle below the 20-day simple moving average (SMA), which also worked as short-term resistance, on Saturday evening. On the same night, Solana’s market capitalization again fell below $11 billion, which translates to a 10 percent decline. Bears are active near the $43 resistance level, while the bulls are seeking to post a bullish comeback for the Solana currency. In response to the roller coaster ride, the bulls were twice rejected near the point of resistance.

The bulls have attempted to drive prices higher, but have thus far been unsuccessful. SOL has lost more than a quarter of its value in the previous week. This downturn began when the price was repelled at $44, a significant resistance level. The increased sell volume is placing a severe burden on the bulls, who now seem absent from the market. Market observers anticipate a reaction if the price approaches a major support level. Suggested Reading | Dogecoin (DOGE) Could Use Some Lift – An Elon Musk Tweet, Perhaps?
