The late June sell-off in the crypto market triggered a minor pullback in the SOL/USDT pair. As a result, the correction nullified nearly 60% of the gain from the previous recovery rally as the price plunged to the $32 mark.
However, the several lower price rejection candles at $32 accentuate the spikes in demand pressure brought by the 24% discount offer on SOL price. On July 4th, the altcoin rebounded from the $32 support with a long bullish engulfing candle.

This reversal hints the trader’s sentiment is leaning toward buying on dips rather than selling on rallies. However, the buyers still struggle to surpass the immediate resistance of $37.3.
Anyhow, if the buyers breach the overhead resistance, the SOL price is likely to continue the formation of a cup and handle pattern and surge to $42.6 resistance. Moreover, the sustained may pierce the mentioned resistance in response to this bullish reversal pattern.
The pattern completion would drive the coin price 13% higher to $48.6.
