The 4-hour chart shows how the price of SOL dropped to a new low. This is not only a result of the crypto market falling in the last 48 hours. The drop can also be attributed to the global halt in operations in Solana’s network yesterday. It’s evident that both of these events had a negative impact on investor outlook.
The 8 EMA line is still acting as a major resistance for SOL on the 4-hour chart and signaled a bearish flag at the start of the month as it crossed below the 20 EMA. Around this time the RSI also crossed below the RSI SMA line.
Now that the price of SOL has reached a new bottom, investors may pounce on the opportunity as the network has also resumed processing blocks.
