Solana Tests Key Resistance: Here Is Why the Move Is in Question

Key Takeaways

  • SOL at $86.67, Fibonacci 0.382 at $86.5.
  • SMA50 at $86.47 and SMA100 at $86.10 forming support floor $0.20-$0.57 below price.
  • Total compression range: $0.78 between MA floor and Fibonacci ceiling.
  • Futures CVD: buy dominant May 6-15, returned to neutral May 16 onward.
  • Spot CVD: neutral throughout entire 30-day visible range.

Solana’s price is currently squeezed between around $86.10 and $86.5, but trading volume is low. While the price hasn’t dropped further, it’s not being actively *bought* at this level either – it’s holding steady simply because there isn’t much selling pressure. The recent surge in buying during May has subsided, and both futures and current market data indicate neutral trading activity.

The 0.382 Fibonacci level marks the point where a price recovery is expected to continue, versus a deeper decline. Currently, the 50-day and 100-day Simple Moving Averages (at $86.47 and $86.10 respectively) are very close together, creating a support level just below the current price.

The price is currently squeezed within a key range around $0.78, making this a significant area to watch. Unlike typical consolidations under resistance or above support, price is pausing right where these levels meet. The $0.78 level acts as a ceiling based on Fibonacci retracement, and a floor supported by a cluster of moving averages. Additionally, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 48.42, slightly below its average at 50.64, suggests that the price hasn’t yet shown a clear direction – either up or down.

What the CVD Charts Say About the Buying That Got Here

Recent changes in futures Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) suggest the strong buying pressure that pushed the price up to $97 has disappeared. The CVD shifted from showing predominantly buying activity in early May to a neutral position starting May 16th. This neutral level coincides with a key Fibonacci retracement within the current price range. Data from CryptoQuant shows strong buying bars on the CVD chart between approximately May 6th and May 15th, peaking around May 10th and 11th near $97. Since May 16th, and continuing through May 22nd, the CVD has remained neutral.

Looking at on-the-spot trading data over the last month, the market has consistently remained neutral, showing no clear preference for buying or selling Solana. The price increase to $97 in May was driven by futures trading, not actual purchases of Solana itself. Now, with the price back down to $86.67 after losing those gains, it’s currently being supported by a key technical level, but again, without any significant buying interest in the spot market.

What Needs to Happen for the Level to Hold

If the price closes above $86.50 each day and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) rises above 50, it would confirm a potential recovery based on Fibonacci levels, momentum, and moving average support. This combination of signals would suggest a genuine upward trend, rather than a temporary price increase. If this happens with increased trading volume and the Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) turns positive, it would further strengthen the signal. After surpassing $86.50, the next price target to watch is $91.04, which is about 4.8% higher than the current price.

If the price closes below $86.10 (the 100-day Simple Moving Average) and the Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) charts don’t show strong buying, it would suggest the recent price squeeze is breaking downwards. This means the price might fall to around $82.93 – a key support level about 4.3% lower than where it is now – without much support in between.
