Watching The Solana Bull Flag

By -

In my last post on Monday I was looking at the possibility that a bull flag channel might well be forming on Solana, and that delivered beautifully. Not everyone saw the post of course as you can see from a tweet I saw last night:

Solana (SOLUSD) reached the daily 3sd lower band, often a good area to look for a reversal, tested that twice and has rejected higher. Key resistance remains at the daily middle band, currently at 236, which has held as resistance at the close each day for the last ten days. That needs to be broken and converted to support to clear the path for Solana to retest the all time high.

Bullish Consolidations on Crypto

By -

In my last post on Thursday I was looking at the possibility that the bullish consolidation on Solana (SOLUSD) particularly might see another lower low as part of a bull flag forming, and the jury was still out on that this morning.

On the daily chart Solana has still been holding the daily middle band, currently at 239.41, as resistance. The path to a lower low is still open, and there are some attractive targets.

On the daily chart the obvious support is at the monthly pivot at 219.10, and the 50dma, currently at 210.07. 210 would be a close backtest of the broken March 2020 high at 209.86 of course.

Bullion Beating Bits

Only days ago, Bitcoin crossed above the meaninglessly but psychologically important $100,000 level with great fanfare. Social media was buried in a wave of posts declaring that $250,000 would be “easy” and $1 million achievable since, let’s face it, $100,000 is 10% of one million. I watched BTC play jump rope with $100k all weekend, and it’s finally sinking away. I think the crypto freaks kind of shot their wad with this one.
