Solana price analysis: SOL could see bullish breakout soon as horizontal trend extends at $12

Solana price analysis continues to show a bearish trend from the past 24 hours, as price remains stuck around the $12 mark. The current trend follows from December 16, when SOL receded 12 percent to move down to $11.96. Since then, the Ethereum-alternative has been trending horizontally on the daily chart in a bearish crypto market. After trending low since early November, SOL could be set for a bullish return during the crypto winter. The immediate resistance is at $12.31 and Solana price will have to set a weekly high at $12.73 on the 4-hour price action for a breakout to materialise.

The larger cryptocurrency market remained bearish over the past 24 hours, as major cryptocurrencies recorded minor declines. Bitcoin stayed in touch of the psychologically crucial $17,000 mark, whereas Ethereum remained at $1,200. Among Altcoins, Ripple dropped 1 percent to sit at $0.34, whereas Dogecoin dipped 2 percent to sit at $0.07. Cardano also showed a bearish return, receding 3 percent to move down to $0.25, while Polkadot also dropped 3 percent to settle at $4.47.

The 24-hour relative strength index (RSI) can be seen lowering into the oversold zone at 35.77, and would need sufficient backing from buyers to form a breakout. The moving average convergence divergence (MACD) curve also shows a bearish divergence in place as the trend line can be seen on the cusp of crossing the signal line. Further invalidation of a potential bullish sentiment will be erased if price falls below the monthly low of $10.94.
