Solana Faces Downward Pressure

Despite the highly volatile market, Ethereum’s ETF approval has uplifted Solana, leading to a surge of nearly 21.7% in the last month. The current price action reflects a slight correction, indicating high volatility, increased selling pressure, and downward moving volume.

The current technical indications suggest that a breakout is imminent for Solana, with the direction to be determined by sellers.
Technical Indicators Predict Strong Movement
If the current price continues to break below $160, Solana’s price is expected to follow the lead towards the $150 zone. In contrast, additional purchasing pressure might assist recapture the $170 level and spark an upward advance to $185 and $200.
