Solana Price Prediction: SOL Remains Bullish, Can It Violate $40?

• Solana price remains bullish as shown by the MACD, RSI and Parabolic SAR indicators.
• SOL needs to close the day above the $40 level to sustain the bullish momentum.
• Solana sits on robust support provided by 50, 100 and 200 SMAs.

Solana price opened the day trading in the green as bulls remain focused to make it two straight bullish days. This bullish momentum saw SOL break above the $40 psychological level for to a high of $40.61during early Asian session. Solana has however given into overhead pressure at the $40 mark to the current price at around $39.96.

SOL needs to break above the $40 resistance level to bring area around $45 into play.

Can Solana Price Violate the $40 Resistance Level?

Solana has had an impressive 75% rally from $22.82 on July 21 to a high of around $39.90 on August 06. This rally saw SOL flip the 50 Simple Moving Average (SMA), 100 SMA and the 200 SMA from resistance to support.

Since then, there have been several attempts to break above the $40 psychological level buy sellers are determined to make sure the price  doesn’t rise any higher. Today’s attempt to break above this level seems to be rejected as well.

Despite this, the Solana appears strong to break above the $40 mark. The support downwards appears robust as SOL is currently supported by the 50, 100 and 200 SMAs respectively.

Moreover, the $37.0 support wall appears robust enough to absorb any buying pressure. Solana bounced off this support level on August 09 in another attempt to push SOL past the $40 mark. Therefore, the current correction in the Solana price might be temporary as it is likely to bounce off this area creating a double bottom pattern that is likely to restart the recovery trajectory.

Note that if Solana closes the day above the $40 psychological level, it will bolster investors to stretch the bullish leg towards $45. SOL will, however, have to overcome the major hurdles at $42 and $43.84 first.
