Key Takeaways
- SOL is currently trading above $160 after testing a low of $150 on Tuesday.
- The digital asset may soon approach the $200 mark due to rising demand and low supply.
SOL Recovers from Tuesday’s Dip
The Solana derivatives market has not fully recovered from the October 10 liquidation event, which wiped out over $19 billion in crypto assets within a single day. Data from CoinGlass indicates that the average Open Interest (OI) for futures contracts was $17.63 billion on Wednesday, a significant jump from the $7.7 billion recorded on Tuesday.
The rising OI, reflecting the total value of outstanding futures contracts, suggests that retail investors are showing renewed interest in the cryptocurrency. A sustained increase in OI will signal bullish prospects in the short term; otherwise, Solana’s recovery potential may remain constrained.
Solana Targets Short-Term Breakthrough
The daily SOL/USD chart is currently bearish and inefficient, as Solana has struggled to surpass the psychological $200 level in the near term. SOL is trading at around $160 per coin as the broader crypto market attempts to bounce back from its recent downturn.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart is holding at 40, indicating a declining bearish trend. Should the RSI cross above the neutral level of 50, SOL could rally toward the resistance level of $188 in the short term. A prolonged upward movement could see SOL reach $200 for the first time since October 25.
Conversely, if the bearish trend persists, SOL could drop below the support level of $150 and potentially retest the recent low of $144.
On the flip side, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator on the daily chart is poised to trigger a buy signal. This signal typically occurs when the blue line crosses above the red signal line, encouraging investors to increase their risk exposure.
SOL might experience a breakout of 22% from its current position, potentially reaching the psychological level of $200.
