On the other hand, a spike in sell order or a shift in the bullish sentiment could weigh on SOL price. In that scenario, a move toward the 50-day EMA, which acted as immediate downside support at $98.0 cannot be ruled out.
Furthermore, a break below the above level might accelerate the selling and the bears would target $80.0.
SOL price depreciated nearly 70% from the record highs of $260. The price capped the downside risk and consolidated after falling further lower in late January.
