At the time of writing, Solana was trading at $19.68 and retesting the previous range low as resistance. The range is highlighted in orange, and Solana traded within it from mid-January until it broke below it on March 7. The range expanded from $20.5 to $26.6.
Solana is up 28.6% from SOL’s low of $16 over the weekend. The RSI is also above the neutral 50 and shows strong bullish momentum.
However, OBV failed to form a higher high, suggesting that buying pressure has subsided slightly during the past three-day rally.
Although volumes have been high over the past few H4 sessions when Solana made these gains, the trend has yet to reverse. From a technical standpoint, the market structure is bullish as the recent lower high at $18.9 has been broken.

However, the $20 area represents resistance at the range low and a bearish breakout from February. Therefore, shorting the asset could attract interest from aggressive bears. Heading south, $18.5 and $16.6 can be used to book profits.

This highlights the bearish sentiment behind Solana.
Open interest rose in the past few hours and fell when the price encountered resistance at the $20 mark. This could indicate a bullish sentiment over the past few hours.
