Solana Price Prediction As Bull Trap Puts $SOL At Risk Of 20% Drop.
Solana Price Prediction: A failed flag pattern breakout amid market sell-off hints the SOL price is poised for extended downfall.
Solana Price Prediction: For nearly a month, the 4th largest cryptocurrency Solana(SOL) has been under a correction trend partially attributed to the uncertainty surrounding the newly launched Bitcoin ETF. In our previous analysis, we market this downfall as the formation of a Flag pattern, commonly observed in an established uptrend. However, the buyers' attempt to break out of this pattern failed to sustain amid the market sell-off, positioning the SOL price at risk of further downfall.
Fake Breakout Triggers a $19 Million Long Liquidation
• A failed breakout from the flag pattern hints at prolonged correction in SOL
• The Bollinger band curved on the downside indicates the sellers are aggressive
• The 24-hour trading volume on the Solana coin is $2.7 Billion, indicating a 4.3% gain.
On January 17th, the Solana price recovery teased a bullish breakout from the resistance trendline of the Flag pattern. This breakout coincided with Solana Network active addresses hitting a high of 429,162 reflecting a sustainable growth opportunity for coin holders.
However, the Solana price reentered
the Flag on Thursday with a 7.5% intraday loss as the crypto market witnessed a sudden sell-off. With a
6.4% drop today, altcoin showcased a
suitable follow-up to the reversal and
confirmation of the failed breakout
