full version at beincrypto

Solana (SOL) has been on a downtrend since May 21 and has formed a descending channel. Exchanging hands at $146.91 at press time, the altcoin currently trades at its lowest level in the last month.

With its price trending close to the lower line of the descending channel, if the bulls fail to defend that support level, SOL’s price might plummet further.

Solana Bulls Have Support to Defend

Since Solana began its downtrend on May 21, its value has fallen by 18%. It has since formed a descending channel, a bearish signal suggesting sustained selling pressure.

The upper line of this channel acts as resistance, while the lower line represents support. SOL’s decline in the past few weeks has caused it to trend toward support at $139.54 When an asset’s price nears a level where it previously found support, the bulls may step in to defend it.

If the bulls succeed and the support level holds, the asset’s price could rebound toward the upper line at resistance. However, if the support line is breached, it indicates a continuation of the bearish trend, leading to a further decline in the asset’s value.

The sentiment trailing SOL has remained significantly bearish, making it unlikely for the bulls to successfully defend the support. Since June 1, SOL’s weighted sentiment has been negative. As of this writing, the coin’s weighted sentiment is -0.28.
