Solana price analysis: SOL could move past $40 high if $27 resistance is cleared

Solana price analysis continues to show bullish momentum, albeit price dropped around 2 percent over the past 24 hours to drop down to $22.76. SOL rose more than 135 percent over the first 2 weeks of January, moving as high as $24.89. This pushed the resistance point up to $27, which still presents the upward breakout point for price. SOL bulls will be eyeing the $40 high after the resistance zone is cleared. However, price could also be set for a correction and today’s downtrend could extend down to $19 on the daily chart.

The larger cryptocurrency market mostly could be seen settling around yesterday’s prices, as Bitcoin stayed clear of the $21,000 mark, and Ethereum price was set at $1,500. Among leading Altcoins, Ripple rose to $0.38, whereas Cardano remained at $0.34, and Dogecoin at $0.08. Meanwhile, Polkadot recorded a 4 percent increment to move above the $6 mark over the past 24 hours.

The 24-hour relative strength index (RSI) can be seen having moved deep into the overbought region at 77.76. This is likely to recede along with price, and settle into the neutral zone. The moving average convergence divergence (MACD) curve continues to show a bullish divergence, whereas trading volume over the past 24 hours dropped over 43 percent, indicating depleting market interest in the token. Traders could take the $17.45 mark as the invalidation point for the bullish sentiment for SOL. Any movement below this point could trigger a 40 percent loss to move down to $14.
