Technical analysis of Solana showed that, on the longer timeframes, the price continued to trade within a bearish market structure despite its bounce from the $40 area.

At the time of writing, the Bollinger bands were tighter around the price, although this is not yet evidence of a sustained phase of accumulation for long-term investors to take advantage of. The price would need to break past the $60 level and retest it as support before we can entertain the idea of a push higher.
