Solana dropped 8% to reach lows of $165 amid widespread selling pressure in the crypto market

 

The 50-day SMA ($161) now serves as the next support level. Bulls will try to push the SOL/USDT pair above $185 if the price rebounds from the 50-day SMA. Bears gain an advantage if the 50-day SMA is broken and closes below it. In that case, the price might fall to $126.

However, bulls might see the decline as a buying opportunity, especially as volatility prompts some investors to take profits. High buying pressure could see the altcoin rise to $209.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 45 after SOL moved out of overbought territory, below the midpoint, and is declining, indicating a potential shift in momentum toward the oversold zone.

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) on SOL’s daily chart also suggests bearish momentum following a downward trend. Some analysts expect SOL’s price to surge to $500 if spot Solana ETFs are approved.

The immediate response has been negative, although Project Crypto aims to legitimize blockchain markets and bring long-term clarity. Traders seem to be preparing for possible delays, enforcement challenges, or simply locking in profit gains.
