SOL bulls are not willing to relax

A look at Solana’s daily chart suggested that the bulls have not yet decided to take a rest, as most of the market indicators were in favor of the buyers.

The MACD displayed a bullish advantage in the market. SOL’s Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) also registered an uptick, which was optimistic.

The Exponential Moving Average (EMA) Ribbon revealed that the distance between the 20-day EMA and 55-day EMA was reducing, which increased the chances of a bullish crossover in the coming days.

The only point of concern was the Relative Strength Index (RSI) as it was entering the overbought zone.
