Solana Analysis

Solana’s price has been one of the worst performers this week and arguably the closest victim to the FTX and Alameda Research contagion that has swept the entire cryptocurrency sector. The ties that FTX and Alameda have to Solana’s protocol haven’t done long-SOL market participants any favors, and as Wednesday’s trading session closed, SOL was -$10.3.

The SOL crypto token has been so negatively impacted this week that SOL’s price at times dropped more than 60% within 24 hours.

The SOL/USD 1W chart below from MichaelL200 will conclude this week’s price analyses. SOL’s price trades between the 0.705 Fibonacci level [$5.42] and the 0.5 fib level [$16.72]at the time of writing.

Those who believe the Solana platform will survive and SOL’s price will jump have targets above the weekly time frame of the 0.5 fib level followed by a secondary target of a full retracement on this daily chart at 0 [$259.99].

In contrast, traders who believe further downside is imminent have targets of 0.705, 0.79 [$3.4]0.886 [$2.01]and the 1 fib level [$1.07].

SOL’s moving average: 5-day [$26.69]20 days [$29.55]50 days [$31.57]100 days [$34.94]200 days [$57.91]Year to date [$65.11].

Solana’s 24-hour price range is $12.37-$23.97 and its 7-day price range is $12.37-$38.03. SOL’s 52-week price range is $12.37-$246.4.

Solana’s price on this date last year was $233.64.

The average price of SOL in the last 30 days is $30.28 and its -58.97% over the same time frame.

The pain may not be over yet for Solana market participants, as approximately 50 million SOL tokens are set to be unstaked at the close of a new earning period on Thursday. The exact total cannot be determined since several validators have chosen during the last 24 hours to withdraw SOL.

Solana’s price [-42.30%] ended its daily session on Wednesday at $14.05 and in the red for a fourth consecutive day.
