What’s Next For Solana?
Solana is trading below the upward channel it once traded in. This channel was an area where the crypto traded with strong bullish momentum, but as it has fallen below support, bulls have lost some steam. Bulls are looking to see the crypto recover this trendline for the bullish momentum to pick up once again.
On the other side, bears are looking to see the crypto continue to fall and for this support level to begin to act as resistance. This may show the crypto is ready for further bearish moves in the future.
