- As the price continues to decline, an important support level at $136.15 could stop and possibly reverse the trend.
- The indicators present contradictory signals; some indicate a reversal while others indicate a decline.
Solana (SOL) moved slowly for most of the month, with only a slight gain of 3.43%, likely due to trading within a consolidation channel. However, in recent trading sessions the struggle has been more evident, with a modest weekly gain of 0.45% and a daily decline of 2.43%.
Although the market generally expects SOL to decline further, reaching the bottom of the consolidation channel between $128.50, additional factors need to be considered.
SOL Chart Shows Decline Pattern
According to Solana’s chart, it has recently reacted to the resistance level within its consolidation channel. This channel is characterized by price fluctuations between established support and resistance levels.
After bouncing off resistance, the price followed a downward trend and is generally expected to reach the support level at 128.50, a trend seen several times.
However, the formation of a minor support line within the consolidation channel at $136.15 provides potential for Solana to rally if sufficient buying pressure drives this change.

At this point, AMBCrypto has observed varied reactions in trading activity, placing SOL on a somewhat uncertain trajectory – whether the $136.15 support holds or not.
Indicators point to a slowdown for Solana, but the depth is unclear
Technical indicators hint at a continued downward movement for SOL, driven by strong bearish sentiment. Notably, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) and the Aroon Line signal this potential decline.
The Aroon indicator, which features an orange “Aroon Up” line and a blue “Aroon Down” line, tracks the time between highs and lows to gauge the strength and direction of the trend.
With the Aroon Down line currently above the Aroon Up, the market appears to be in a bearish phase for SOL.
The MACD further supports this outlook as it is trending lower with increasingly negative momentum bars and the blue MACD line crossing below the signal line.

These trends suggest that SOL is poised to decline as trading increases. The exact extent of the decline remains unclear; depending on market dynamics, it could either stabilize at the support level near 136.15 or potentially go as low as 128.50.
Meanwhile, AMBCrypto found that on-chain metrics indicate growing bullish sentiment among traders, with long positions up slightly and existing positions continuing to hold.
Selling pressure on SOL eases
According to on-chain data from coin mechanismthe SOL’s tendency to decline further has reduced and the selling pressure is decreasing as the bulls begin to take control.
Open positions, which track unsettled derivative contracts – futures in this case – rose 5.21% to $2.25 billion. This suggests an increase in long positions, which could push prices higher.

At the same time, the funding rate has become positive, now at 0.0021%. A positive funding rate implies that long traders pay short traders, anticipating a price increase.
If these bullish indicators continue, SOL could be well positioned for a rally, with the nearest support at the 136.15 level likely to be held. Conversely, a move to the negative could see SOL fall to the lower support level at 128.50.
