Can Solana Shift the Trend and Head Bullish?

The trading pattern of SOL is a bearish pattern, with the red light flashing. If the altcoin’s price fails to climb above $176, the bears could gain more strength and form the death cross. The steady downside correction triggers the asset to fall back toward the 167 range or even lower.

Contrarily, assuming the asset reflects a bullish signal, the price might immediately ascend and find the resistance at the $177 level. In the case of the bulls forming a golden cross, Solana could drive the price to hit a high of $181, initiating a sturdy uptrend for more gains.

Also, the asset could continue its downtrend. Besides, the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) value at -0.19 signals that the money is flowing out of the asset. It may be a sign of more downside.

The asset’s Bull Bear Power (BBP) value found at 0.39 suggests that the bulls are currently in control of the market, but not strong enough to kickstart a rally.
