Solana price up 50% in two weeks, but here's why $120 will be hard to crack

cointelegraph.com:

Solana (SOL) continued its two-week uptrend on March 30, rising in part owing to its integration with OpenSea, the world's biggest nonfungible token (NFT) by volume.

SOL's price gained 4.5% in the past 24 hours to around $117 per token, its best level since Feb. 11, 2022.

The coin's latest move upside pushed its two-week paper returns to over 50%. Nonetheless, SOL/USD is still down 30% on a year-to-date timeframe, risking pullback as the price tested its 200-day exponential moving average (200-day EMA; the blue wave) near $120 as resistance.

The 200-day EMA coincided with the 0.236 Fib line of the Fibonacci retracement graph — drawn from $266-swing high to $75-swing low. This adds another layer of selloff risks near $120, which will likely prove to be a hard level to break. 

OpenSea's decision to integrate Solana's NFTs into its marketplace on Tuesday might have boosted SOL's price. The rally also coincided with Solana-based NFT marketplaces recording their best day in terms of volumes and transactions on March 29, according to data from Dune Analytics. 

The total number of transactions executed across these Solana platforms crossed 57,000. Meanwhile, their net valuation came out to be around 136,000 SOL, approximately $15.2 million at today's price, making it the largest daily transaction volume observed inside Solana's NFT ecosystem to date.

Interestingly, Magic Eden processed about 80% of the total reported transactions on March 29. The NFT marketplace, which recently raised $27 million in a Series A funding round led by Paradigm, has been consistently outperforming its peers across the Solana ecosystem since its launch in October 2021. 

Solana NFT marketplaces have been underperforming in terms of sales volume despite
