The crypto market seems littered after the Fed’s decision, resulting in increased volatility. Bitcoin and Ethereum have declined and slipped to their previous lows. Notably, Solana also stepped into bearish momentum after its brief upward breakout.
SOL exhibited over -3% price decline in the past day, causing the token to fall to a low of $157. Meanwhile, Solana’s trading volume resulted in a 14.96% increase and stayed at $4.05 billion. At press time, SOL was trading at $162, as per CMC data.
While analyzing Solana’s weekly price action, it noted a 8.55% drop over the past week, with the asset’s lowest and highest price noted at $159 and $193, respectively. The current decline of SOL aligns with the daily Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 45.90, which indicates the asset is nearing the neutral zone.
In addition, short-term 9-day MA and 21-day MA are found above the current price at $176 and $169, suggesting SOL is in the bearish zone. If the token slides down, the initial support can be found at $157. Further losses might take the price to the range of $150. Conversely, if bulls regain control over the bears, the potential resistance might be at $170. As the bullish momentum persists, the subsequent resistance can be at $176.
