Solana Technical Analysis – 3-October-2024
Zooming into the 4-hour chart, we notice Solana’s price is below the 100-period simple moving average, meaning the primary trend is bearish. On the other hand, the Stochastic Oscillator shifted above the 20 level, and the Awesome Oscillator histogram changed color to green, depicting -7.65 in the description.
These developments in the technical indicators suggest the primary trend is bearish, but Solana’s bulls have the potential to raise the price or impose a consolidation phase on the market.
Solana Forecast – 3-October-2024
From a technical perspective, the trend outlook remains bearish as long as Solana trades below the immediate resistance of $168.5 (November 2 High). In this scenario, the downtrend will likely resume with the next bearish target at $158.0 (October 15 High).
Furthermore, if the selling pressure exceeds $158.0, the next bearish target could be the October 7 high at $152.0. Please note that the bearish strategy should be invalidated if SOL/USD exceeds $168.5.
Solana Bullish Scenario
If bulls (buyers) close above the immediate $168.5 resistance, a new bullish wave may emerge, allowing Solana to revisit the November 1 high of $172.5.
Furthermore, if buying pressure exceeds $172.5, the next bullish target will likely be the October all-time high at $183.3.
Please note that the 100-period simple moving average will primarily support the bullish strategy.
