Solana (SOL) currently trades at the lower line of its ascending channel, which has formed support since the beginning of the month.
This decline toward the support line began on May 20. Exchanging hands at $167 at press time, the altcoin’s value has dropped by 7% in the past seven days.
Solana Attempts to Breach SupportSOL’s move in an ascending channel began when it initiated an uptrend on April 30. On that day, the altcoin traded at $129. By May 20, its value had risen to a peak of $184, after which selling activity began.
As the coin’s price fell last week, it is now poised to drop below its 20-day Exponential Moving Average. This moving average reflects SOL’s average price over the past 20 days.
When an asset’s price falls below this key moving average, it signals that its short-term trend might be reversing from up to down. This is because the 20-day EMA is acting as a line of support, and a break below suggests that sellers are overpowering buyers.
