Solana technical analysis and key level

According to AMBCrypto’s technical analysis, SOL recently broke out from a bullish inverted Head-and-Shoulder pattern on the daily time frame. Based on historical data, whenever an asset breaks out from this H&S pattern, it tends to skyrocket significantly.

Solana’s prediction for November 2024

Despite this bullish outlook, SOL’s rally may not be straightforward. Few resistance levels could pose hurdles to the asset’s upward momentum.

If SOL closes a daily candle above the $161 level, there is a strong possibility it could soar by 18%, reaching the next resistance level of $190 in the coming days.

However, given the current market sentiment, it appears that SOL could achieve this level before November 2024. 

SOL’s bullish on-chain metrics 

On-chain metrics further support SOL’s positive outlook. According to the on-chain analytics firm Coinglass, the major liquidation levels are currently at $156.6 on the lower side and $162.5 on the upper side, with traders over-leveraged at these levels.

According to the data, short sellers have placed bets worth over $14.46 million on the $162.5 level, believing that SOL’s price won’t surpass it. Bulls, on the other hand, have placed bets worth $36.24 million on the $156.6 level, believing that the asset’s price won’t fall below it.

Rising open interest 

As of now, SOL’s open interest has risen significantly, indicating strong interest from traders following the breakout. In the past 24 hours, its value has increased by 17.8%.

This notable rise in open interest suggests the buildup of new positions during this period. Additionally, it marks the highest level since the beginning of October 2024.

This bullish outlook is further supported by the upcoming presidential election in the United States. Historical data shows that October often brings bullish trends in the cryptocurrency market, especially leading up to major events like elections.

This could further maintain Solana’s upward momentum.
