Symmetrical Triangle Breakdown Points to $155 Target
In the daily chart, the Solana price trend reveals a bearish breakdown of a long-coming support trend line. This puts a bearish conclusion to a rising wedge pattern, with the intraday bearish engulfing candle of 6.35% drop.
Currently, it stands at the test-crucial support zone at $175. The bearish engulfing candle has also broken under the 200 EMA line. The prevailing correction has influenced the crossover between the 20-day and 50-day EMA lines.
Thus, the average moving lines are giving a sell signal for Solana. However, the daily RSI line reveals a bullish divergence in the recent retest of the $175 support zone.
This projects a potential bounce-back to retest the broken trend line. Hence, if the Solana price sustains a daily closing above the support zone and the 200 EMA line, the bulls could reclaim the trend momentum. This could retest the $200 breakout. However, a bearish closing will likely retest the $155 support level.
