Solana breaks from a consolidation point: analysis
2024-12-05

Solana has surpassed BNB to enter the top fifth crypto after rising over the consolidation around $230. The rise in the value of the star token, Bitcoin, helped the SOL price rise break the crucial resistance. Now that the price has initiated a huge breakout, the token is believed to maintain a steady ascending trend. However, the possibility of a bearish reversal also emerges, which could drag the levels back to $235 and levels slightly below. 

The bearish activity had outpowered the Solana bulls ever since the token formed a new ATH above $264. The price dropped further and the plunge in volume prevented the bulls from lifting the levels from the interim lows. However, with the beginning of the fresh monthly trade, the bulls seem to have gained acute strength. As a result, after the current breakout, the SOL price is primed to surpass the current ATH to reach $270 shortly. 

The short-term price action of Solana suggests the price has broken the upper resistance of the descending parallel channel and attracted bearish attention. However, the technicals continue to remain bullish, which suggests the price may withstand the bearish pressure and eventually enter the resistance zone between $247.09 and $250. The stochastic RSI has rebounded from the interim descensing trend, indicating the levels to remain around the upper threshold for a while. This hints towards an extended bullish consolidation that may assist the SOL price to rise above $250. 

Therefore, the Solana price could reach $300 before the end of 2024, provided the upcoming weekly close needs to be above the current ATH. Otherwise, the price may remain consolidated below the ATH for a long time and just before the yearly close could validate a strong upswing.
