The post Are Investors Becoming Pessimistic About the Solana (SOL) Price Surge? What Keeps SOL Price Below $170? appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
As the Bitcoin price surged, investors quickly turned bearish and began to pile up short trades. This kept the entire market and the Solana price consolidated within a tight range. While the other tokens triggered a breakout as Bitcoin reclaimed $106,000, these short trades were liquidated, which resulted in a bullish breakout in many. However, the SOL price failed to do so, which raises some concern over the upcoming price rally.
In a recent update, the SEC has delayed its decision on all the spot ETFs, including Bitwise and 21Shares. This delay could extend the regulatory uncertainty surrounding Solana-based investment products for institutional investors. Despite this, the price displayed some strength but is constantly failing to rise above the pivotal threshold.
On the daily chart, the SOL price is showing a notable drop of nearly 6%, with the day’s candle closing below the average bands. This has compelled the price to begin the day’s trade within a consolidated zone, which could prevent the breakout for a while.
The SOL price has reached the edge of the rising wedge and is testing the support of the pattern. If the price triggers a rebound, it may remain consolidated until it breaches above the 200-day MA. On the other hand, if the price initiates a breakdown, which is the outcome of the pattern, the quick sellers could be exhausted at once. Although this may cause a short-term pullback to the $145 and $147 range, a strong rebound could follow the trend.
Therefore, the rebound that could follow may not see the 200-day MA as a major hindrance. As a result, a steep rise may begin, elevating the levels beyond $200. If the bulls manage to sustain the token above the gains, the Solana (SOL) price rally is expected to head towards upper targets in the coming days.
