Solana (SOL) price hit a new record high on November 22, but has since entered a correction, currently trading 27% below that peak. Recent technical indicators show mixed signals, with bearish momentum showing signs of easing but still dominating the market.
The BBTrend index, despite an improvement from recent lows, remains in negative territory, while the DMI indicates that the current downtrend is losing strength. As SOL fluctuates near key resistance at $195, the price’s direction will depend on whether the buy signal is strong enough or selling pressure intensifies.
SOL’s BBTrend Is Still Very Negative
Solana’s BBTrend index recently hit its lowest level since August, reaching -18.89 on December 22. It has remained in negative territory since December 21.
Currently at -14.64, BBTrend shows signs of improvement, pointing to a possible shift in market sentiment. This upward move, while still in negative territory, suggests that selling pressure may be decreasing as buyers begin to cautiously return to the market.
BBTrend, also known as Bollinger Band Trend, is a momentum indicator derived from Bollinger Bands. It measures the difference between an asset’s price and the midpoint of the Bollinger Bands, providing perspective on the strength and direction of the trend. A negative BBTrend value indicates bearish price momentum, while a positive value implies an upward trend.
With SOL’s BBTrend rising from -18.89 to -14.64, this implies that the bearish momentum is weakening, which could pave the way for a near-term price recovery. However, until BBTrend crosses positive territory, the market is likely to remain cautious, with price movements likely to stall or stay within a narrow range.
Solana’s DMI Shows Upward Trend May Appear Soon
Solana’s Directional Index (DMI) chart reveals that the Average Directional Index (ADX) is currently 34, down sharply from nearly 50 just a day ago. Although ADX above 25 still signals a strong trend, the recent decline suggests that the strength of SOL’s current downtrend is fading.
The decline in trend strength comes as SOL continues to show bearish price action, but a weakening ADX could indicate that selling momentum is starting to fade.
ADX, a key component of the DMI, measures trend strength on a scale from 0 to 100 without specifying direction. A value above 25 indicates a strong trend, while below 20 suggests a weak or non-existent trend. Meanwhile, the positive directional index (D+) at 19.34 and the negative directional index (D-) at 19.81 reflect roughly equivalent pressure from buyers and sellers, with skewed preferences. lighter on the selling side.
The combination of a declining ADX and a nearly balanced D+ and D- suggests that while SOL is still in a downtrend, bearish momentum may be losing momentum. In the short term, this could lead to a potential correction or reversal period if buying begins to emerge.
SOL Price Prediction: Return to $200 In October Two?
SOL’s closest resistance level around $195 is becoming an important threshold for upcoming price moves. Currently, the Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) have a bearish configuration, with the short-term lines below the long-term lines.
However, the recent upward move in the short-term EMAs hints at a possible golden crossover, a bullish signal that could signal a trend reversal.
If Solana price successfully overcomes the $195 resistance, it could target $204 next, with the potential to climb higher to $215, marking a significant recovery.
On the other hand, if BBTrend continues to deepen and the current downtrend strengthens, SOL price could retest the $183 support level. Failure to hold this support could lead to a further decline, with a drop to $175 possible.
