Momentum indicators observed on a daily chart revealed that SOL accumulation has significantly outpaced distribution among spot traders.

For example, the coin’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Money Flow Index (MFI) were spotted at 76.59 and 87.73, respectively, at the time of writing. 

These values suggested that buying activity exceeded profit-taking activity, hence the sustained rally in SOL’s price. However, it should be noted that the values of these indicators also suggested that the alt was overbought and was due for correction.

The coin’s Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) – which measures the buying and selling pressure for a crypto asset – was 0.10 at press time. A positive CMF value is a sign of strength in the market, indicating the inflow of much-needed liquidity. 

This is good because the supply of more liquidity makes it easier for spot market buyers and sellers to execute trades at desired prices, potentially reducing price volatility.

Moreover, SOL’s Average Directional Index confirmed the strength of the current uptrend. At 39.02 at press time, the uptrend was strong. This meant that SOL’s price was moving in a clear direction, and a lot of bullish momentum existed behind the trend.

The Positive Directional Indicator (green) at 40.60 also rested above the Negative Directional Indicator (red) at 5.7. This suggested that the buyers’ strength exceeded the sellers.
