In the struggling cryptocurrency market,  Solana (SOL) the world’s fifth biggest cryptocurrency looks to recover after gaining support from a crucial $124 level. Today, on July 5, 2024, SOL experienced a massive price drop of 7% as Bitcoin (BTC) crashed more than 8%, during the Asian Trading hours.

The reason for this potential recovery in SOL is caused by the formation of a bullish price action pattern on Solana’s daily chart. 

Solana technical analysis and key levels

According to expert technical analysis, Solana (SOL) is currently there near a strong support level of $124 and moving above 200 EMA (Exponential Moving Average). Besides EMA, the SOL daily chart forms a bullish double-bottom price action pattern, a bullish divergence, while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is in an oversold area.

Additionally, in May 2024, SOL experienced a similar double bottom and bullish divergence on a daily time frame. Following the formation of this price action, we have experienced a massive upside move to $160. However, this time, there is a high possibility that SOL may experience a similar upside move and hit the $160 level in the coming days.

Despite this bullish outlook, the open interest in SOL is continuously surging. In the last 4 hours alone, it surged more than 7%, and in the last 1 hour, it surged more than 4%. This continuous increase in open interest highlights strong interest and confidence among investors and traders in SOL, despite other cryptocurrencies showing losses.
