The price of Solana (SOL) has fallen further as it is rejected at the $195 barrier.


Solana price long-term prediction: bearish 


The altcoin was initially pushed back when it peaked at $209. Today, selling pressure is reaching the 21-day SMA support. If the bears break the 21-day SMA support, Solana will fall to lows of $168 and $165. During the previous downturn, Solana fell to a low of $156 on August 2, as reported by Coinidol.com.


However, if the bearish momentum stops above the 21-day SMA support, the bearish scenario would be invalidated. The cryptocurrency will be forced to move in a range above the 21-day SMA but below the $200 level. At the time of writing, SOL is trading at $180.94
