Solana’s Weekly Gains Hint at a Potential Breakout Above This Price

Solana’s price has gained significant momentum over the past week. It has risen by 10% amid the improving sentiment across the broader cryptocurrency market. 

This renewed optimism has propelled the coin upward, and with bullish momentum gaining strength, SOL appears poised for a sustained rally.

Market Momentum Turns in Solana’s Favor 

SOL’s double-digit rally in the past week has caused its price to trade within an ascending parallel channel on the daily chart.

This pattern is formed when price action creates a series of higher highs and higher lows, moving between two upward-sloping parallel trendlines. The lower boundary acts as dynamic support, while the upper boundary serves as resistance

When an asset trades within such a channel, it signals an uptrend where demand outweighs supply. Readings from SOL’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) confirm the buy-side pressure currently backing its rally. As of this writing, this momentum indicator stands at 57.63.

The RSI indicator measures an asset’s overbought and oversold market conditions. It ranges between 0 and 100. Values above 70 suggest that the asset is overbought and due for a price decline, while values under 30 indicate that the asset is oversold and may witness a rebound.

SOL’s RSI readings indicate market participants prefer accumulation over distribution. If this trend continues, its price could continue to rise. 

Furthermore, SOL’s Elder-Ray Index has remained positive for the past two trading sessions, marking a significant turnaround after a nine-day streak of red histogram bars. This shift signals a positive change in market momentum, with the index currently at 11.71 at press time.

The Elder-Ray Index measures the balance of power between buyers and sellers. When its value is positive,  bullish pressure outweighs bearish pressure, with buyers gaining market control. 

In SOL’s case, its Elder-Ray Index strengthens the bullish outlook and suggests that the recent rally could extend if buying interest persists.

SOL Bulls and Bears Face Off Near $186

At press time, SOL changes hands at $181.82, sitting just below the resistance level at $186.52, the upper boundary of its ascending parallel channel. 

A surge in buying pressure could see the token break through this barrier and push past the psychologically significant $190 mark.

However, if selling pressure returns, SOL risks losing recent gains and dropping to $176.64.
