At the time of writing, Solana was trading at $19.68 and had retested the previous range lows as resistance. This range was highlighted in orange and Solana had traded within it from mid-January till the drop beneath it on 7 March. The range extended from $20.5 to $26.6.

The gains of Solana measured 28.6% when measured from the swing low at $16 that SOL registered over the weekend. The RSI was also above neutral 50 and showed strong bullish momentum.

However, the OBV was unable to form a higher high, which showed slightly muted buying pressure over the past three days of gains.

Even though the trading volume has been high over the past few H4 trading sessions when Solana made these gains, the trend has not reversed yet. From a technical perspective, the market structure was bullish, as the recent lower high at $18.9 has been beaten.

However, the $20 area represented a confluence of resistance from the range lows as well as the bearish breaker from February. Hence, shorting the asset could interest aggressive bears. To the south, the $18.5 and $16.6 can be used to book profits.
