• Solana’s TD Sequential indicator suggested a potential trend reversal, reinforcing bullish sentiment.
• With mixed signals in play, is this the start of a sustained recovery?

After breaking below the $200 support, Solana [SOL] plunged to $130 – its lowest level in five months – marking a critical demand zone.

The TD Sequential indicator flashed a strong buy signal, suggesting a potential trend reversal.

However, with trading volume collapsing by 61%, weak buying pressure raises red flags. Is this the beginning of a recovery, or just a bull trap before another leg down?

Technical and market signals flash green

Solana has plunged over 30% in the past month, as market-wide volatility continues to push high-cap assets below key support zones. 

With uncertainty still dominating, an immediate recovery remains elusive unless broader market conditions improve.

However, a few bullish factors could support SOL’s price action. 

Historically, similar price levels have attracted dip buyers looking for discounted entries, marking this as a strong demand zone. 

Bitcoin’s [BTC] consolidation phase often encourages investors to rotate into altcoins, potentially increasing SOL’s demand.

From a technical perspective, the TD Sequential indicator – a widely used tool for spotting trend reversals – has flashed a strong buy signal. 

Will Solana bulls defend the zone?

Despite flashing a buy signal, market participation is dwindling – trading volume has dropped 61%, highlighting weak demand. 

The anticipated “buy-the-dip” response remains absent, with red candlesticks dominating the daily chart. Profit-taking from its March rally to nearly $180 continues to weigh on price action.

Worse yet, the SOL/BTC pair has plunged to a two-year low, marking this cycle as its weakest so far. With investors hesitant to re-enter, Solana risks deeper corrections unless sentiment shifts.

Solana’s Open Interest (OI) has edged up 1.63% to $3.95 billion, but this rise comes amid weak accumulation. 

Just last week, OI peaked at $5.31 billion as SOL retested $180, only to nosedive to $4.20 billion the next day as selling pressure erased 20.45% of its gains.

While increasing OI is a bullish signal in strong uptrends, in volatile markets, it heightens the risk of mass liquidations. 

With sentiment fragile and price action shaky, Solana remains at a crossroads, facing the threat of deeper corrections.
