Solana Price Currently On A Bearish Trend—A Reversal Incoming?

The Solana price has been trading within a well-defined falling channel, marked in yellow, since mid-November. This indicates a bearish trend with lower highs and lower lows. The current price, around $208.78, is near the lower boundary of this channel, suggesting it is approaching potential support, according to data from GeckoTerminal.

SOL price has fallen below both the 50-day ($221.38) and 200-day Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) ($233.43), further confirming bearish dominance in the short term.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is currently at 38.80, approaching oversold territory (<30). While not yet oversold, the RSI indicates a bearish bias and room for further downside before a potential reversal.

If SOL price remains within the falling channel pattern and continues to respect the resistance levels, the price could drop further toward the $200 psychological level or even test the channel’s lower boundary around $195-$190.

For a bullish reversal, the Solana price would need to break out of the descending channel and reclaim the 50-day SMA ($221) as support. A confirmed breakout above the 200-day SMA ($233) would signal a shift back to a bullish trend, potentially targeting $250-$260 in the mid-term.

Even as the Solana price plummets, investors are still snapping up the new Solana meme coin Solaxy (SOLX), which 99Bitcoins, a popular crypto channel on YouTube with over 709K subscribers, says might soar 100x after launch.
