Solana Price Takes a Dive, But These 3 Key Indicators Show the Uptrend is Far from Over!

Jakarta, Pintu News – Solana (SOL) prices may be easing from its recent peak of $168, but the larger structure still favors the bulls.

Despite the correction to $160 (US$2.6 million), three key metrics show that this is more of a pause than a decline.

Financing Rate Remains Positive, Reflecting Bullish Sentiment

Solana’s financing rate bar is still green, indicating that long positions are dominant throughout the market.

Despite the slight price drop, traders are still paying fees to stay long, which means most expect the price to rise again.

There are no signs that shorts are taking control. This usually indicates that buyers are willing to persevere through volatility.

The financing rate is the periodic payment made between long and short traders in a perpetual futures contract.

When the financing rate is positive, long positions are dominant and pay for short positions, indicating a bullish bias.

Golden Crossover 20/50 EMA Confirms Uptrend

Solana recently experienced a crossover between its 20 EMA (exponential moving average) crossing the 50 EMA on the daily chart. This golden crossover is a bullish signal indicating that short-term momentum is starting to pick up again.

However, this crossover did not occur on a strong green candle; rather, it was on a red candle with a long wick, indicating the presence of market uncertainty.

Nonetheless, this crossover supports the idea that the SOL price trend is shifting upwards, although the momentary momentum looks unstable.

Solana Price Still Above Key Support; Structure Remains Intact

Despite the drop to $160, Solana still held above the key support zone around $158, as projected by the Fibonacci retracement indicator, a useful tool for mapping key support levels during uptrends.

On the upside, if Solana manages to reclaim $168 (US$2.7 million), with financing rates continuing to be positive, the next leg of this rally will open up. This would allow the SOL price to reach $179 (US$2.91 million) and even $184 (US$2.99 million), provided the broader market sentiment remains bullish.

However, there was a bearish divergence on the RSI between July 10 and July 14. The SOL price printed higher peaks, but the RSI printed lower peaks; this is a sign that momentum is weakening despite the SOL price continuing to rise. These divergences often lead to short-term corrections, which is what we are currently seeing.

Also, the RSI starts to curve down after approaching its signal line, which further strengthens the case for a temporary cooling.

The RSI (Relative Strength Index) is a momentum indicator that tracks how strong the buying or selling pressure is. Divergence, when prices rise but the RSI falls, usually indicates that momentum is starting to fade.

A bearish divergence on the RSI, if followed by a drop below $158, could invalidate the broader bullish structure.

And a correction to $152 (0.382 Fib level) or lower ($147) could reverse the structure to bearish in the short to medium term.
