Solana (SOL) is currently weathering the storm as its value has plummeted, mirroring the recent sharp decline in Bitcoin (BTC). This downturn in Bitcoin, which recently hit a new low of $49.2k, has sent shockwaves through the cryptocurrency market, creating an atmosphere of extreme fear. The resulting panic has caused significant losses for many altcoins, including SOL.
Solana had been holding strong at a support level of $123. However, Bitcoin’s unexpected dip led to a breach of this crucial threshold, causing SOL to tumble to a recent low of $112. This substantial drop highlights the interconnected nature of the cryptocurrency market, where the movements of major players like Bitcoin can heavily influence the prices of other digital assets.
As of now, Solana’s price stands at $119.61, reflecting a 16.43% decrease in the last 24 hours. The trading volume for SOL has surged to $22.42 billion, indicating heightened activity as investors react to the market’s turbulence. Despite the recent decline, Solana still boasts a market cap of $53.75 billion, maintaining a market dominance of 2.90%.
Analyst Predicts Solana’s Path to Recovery
Amid the current market turbulence, crypto analyst Crypto Nuevo has provided a spot and trading update for Solana (SOL), offering insights into potential price movements and key levels to watch. As a spot buyer, Nuevo is closely monitoring the weekly 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA).
He anticipates a retest of the weekly 50EMA to hold, suggesting that this level could serve as critical support. According to Nuevo, Solana could reach this target when Bitcoin (BTC) hits its own weekly 50EMA at $53.5k, a scenario he believes is likely at some point.
Nuevo describes the current market situation as a sideways move in higher time frames (HTF) and an overextended downtrend in lower time frames (LTF). He identifies two key levels, which are only 3% apart, where he anticipates a potential bounce for Solana. These are the areas where he plans to log into an LTF recovery pump, indicating his strategy to capitalize on a potential short-term recovery.
However, Investors will be watching closely to see if Solana can hold the critical support levels and potentially bounce back, especially as Bitcoin’s movements continue to influence the broader cryptocurrency market.
