Solana price analysis: SOL continues lowly sideways trend around $14

Solana price analysis continues to show a bearish sight, as price trods along a horizontal trend that was set on November 24, around the $13.5 mark. Over the past 24 hours, SOL price jumped as high as $14.42, before receding back to $14.00 at the time of writing. As SOL trades sideways, buyers are expected to wait until price pushes past the immediate resistance at $14.86 before committing. SOL volume has been observed to be on the downside over the course of the horizontal trend, and must improve before price can be pushed up.

The larger cryptocurrency market showed downtrends across the board over the past 24 hours, as Bitcoin moved down by 3 percent to stay just above $17,000. Ethereum also lowered 3 percent, to move down to $1,200, while leading Altcoins mimicked the downtrend.

Cardano also dropped 2 percent to move as low as $0.29, while Polkadot stabilised around the $5.2 mark.

The 24-hour relative strength index (RSI) shows a parallel movement to price in moving sideways around the early 40’s, further suggesting of the lack of progression in price. Buyers would be looking out for increased consolidation up to the $15 mark before further investment in SOL. Meanwhile, the moving average convergence divergence (MACD) curve shows a parallel move against the neutral zone, also reminiscent of the sideways trend in price.
