Solana Market Analysis: July Outlook
Solana’s market has shown a bearish bias on the daily timeframe, yet remains poised to sustain its long-term bullish outlook.
Defense of a Fibonacci level, coupled with liquidity hunts, suggests a potential uptrend may resume.
Solana (SOL) has experienced a 2.56% decline over the past week, ranking third in performance among the top-10 coins by market cap (excluding stablecoins) according to CoinMarketCap. This resilience is bolstered by optimism surrounding a potential SOL ETF and its post-election prospects in the U.S.
- Solana demonstrates strength relative to other altcoins, many of which have seen double-digit losses.
- Reports indicate Solana processes significantly more daily transactions than Ethereum (ETH).
Fibonacci Levels and Technical Indicators
Fibonacci levels have proven resilient, with the 78.6% retracement level defended multiple times since mid-April.
- On the technical side, the OBV has declined steadily since March, while the daily RSI has remained below the neutral 50 mark since early June, indicating prevailing selling pressure and bearish momentum.
- The DMI shows a strong downward trend, with both the ADX (yellow) and -DI (red) above the 20-mark.
The spot CVD showed signs of recovery in late June, but recent sell-offs have reversed some progress. Open Interest has also been affected, with recent movements indicating speculative interest cautiously leaning towards long positions.
Market Trends and Price Movements
Recent liquidation data suggests clues for Solana’s next major price trend:
- On July 2nd, Solana revisited a liquidity cluster at $152 before reversing course, illustrating how prices may temporarily move against the trend to clear liquidity pockets.
- Significant liquidity clusters are noted at $164 and $175, which could influence future price movements.
Short-term analysis indicates that Solana’s recent price bounce may have lost momentum, with indications that long liquidations slightly outnumbered short ones.
With the short squeeze potentially over, SOL could face rejection around the $140-$143 zone, possibly consolidating around $135 in the near term.
In the coming weeks, a bullish move in Bitcoin (BTC) above $60,000 could catalyze renewed bullish sentiment, potentially targeting price levels around $164 and $175 for Solana.
