Solana has broken key resistance and flipped funding positive, but momentum is slowing. A hidden bearish divergence signals caution as the next move could go either way.

  • SOL's Open Interest (by number of coins) has spiked higher again, suggesting leverage traders are chasing this move higher.
  • This is also reflected in the Funding Rate moving from negative to positive (Longs chasing in), although Funding has cooled off again in the last 12 hours.

Technical analysis

  • SOL has broken out of its local downtrend, and price has also comfortably closed above the key $120 horizontal resistance.
  • Price is currently at a very local horizontal resistance here at $134. However, the main horizontal resistance is higher up at $148.
  • The RSI has also broken out of its downtrend line with the RSI also above it's moving average. But, a hidden bearish divergence is now forming (a lower high in price and a higher high on the oscillator).
  • To the downside, $120 is the horizontal support, with $98 the major horizontal support still.

  • Downside Target: $120

Cryptonary's take

Price has broken out, and SOL may have completed most of this leg higher, but a push to $148 is still possible. There are some positives for SOL that suggest this move higher can continue, but there also some suggestions that a good portion of the move may have happened already, although we wouldn't be surprised to also see price continue on to $148. This is tricky to call here.

We're still of the view that we're in the midst of a relief rally and that price can test lower again over the coming weeks and months, and therefore we'll be looking to accumulate longer-term Spot bags of SOL between $81 and $112. Patience until then.
