Short-Term Prediction for SOL Price

SOL’s price has lost its uptrend momentum, and a break below the current ascending triangle will confirm it. If so, it’s likely that the cryptocurrency will retest the support at $35. Since this downtrend momentum just started, it may take quite some time for Solana to reverse it.
