The token's circulating supply remains at 466.7 million SOL, while the total quantity is recorded at 583.6 million SOL. Notably, the fully diluted market cap, which assumes the maximum supply of the coin, is at $76.79 billion.

Analysing the chart for the past 24 hours, the currency experienced fluctuations in its economy with mixed sentiments. The price reached a high near $136 but faced a downward correction, dipping slightly below $131. However, the asset quickly recovered, stabilising around $132 as of the last update. This pattern indicates ongoing market indecision, with bulls and bears in a tight contest over the direction of the price.

Solana  Shows Signs of Recovery but Faces Key Resistance Levels

The currency, at present selling at $131.27, has gathered a 2.16% expansion on the day. Despite this recent uptick, SOL remains below key resistance levels that could determine its future trajectory.

The long-term chart shows that it has faced a steep decline from its peak of over $200, shedding approximately 87.51% of its price at one point, touching a low near $12.92. However, the coin managed to recover, rebounding by nearly 56.65% from its lowest point, indicating potential bullish momentum. Yet, this recovery still leaves SOL far from its former highs, with the current price action suggesting caution among investors.

Technical indicators provide diverse expressions for SOL future rates movement. The Relative Strength Index is currently at 45.87, slightly below the neutral 50 grade, indicating that the trade is neither overbought nor oversold. This suggests that the coin could go either way depending on economic conditions and sentiment. Additionally, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence illustrator is in bearish territory, with the MACD line at -2.92, below the signal contours at -1.71. This divergence suggests a potential downturn if bullish momentum does not materialise soon.

Despite the recent gains, Solana faces an important obstacle at the $166.35 stage, which corresponds to previous support turned opposition. If SOL can smash through this barrier, it may pave the way for further gains, potentially challenging the $200 mark again. However, failure to climb up could see SOL retesting lower support levels, particularly around $89.25, where previous consolidation occurred.
