is up by 2% on the daily chart. Further analysing the weekly chart, it seems as if SOL has formed a bottom around $130, and a rebound is on the horizon for its price action to again test the $250 level.

Ever since November started, SOL has been facing negative pressure that saw its price drop from $180 to form a V-shaped recovery pattern on the short-term chart. This pattern usually indicates a rebound in the works after a steep fall.

Once SOL price action dropped below $130, buyers piled in to scoop up the crypto at lower prices, pushing its price back up. At the same time, the RSI (Relative Strength Index) climbed from 28 to its current position at 43, indicating a lot more room to grow before it reaches the overbought level.

If this momentum continues, SOL could see its price climb to $170, which currently acts as a resistance. Currently on the 4-hour chart, SOL has managed to claw back its 20-day EMA at $139 and is on its way to retest the 50-day EMA at $144.

The $130 level has sparked off major rallies in the past. One jump took SOL from $127 to $265 in just two months last year, and another saw it double from $130 to $250 between June and September this year.

SOL Spot Buyers Step In: Price Recovery Brewing?

If data from CoinGlass is to be believed, interest in the SOL futures market is gaining steam again after a brief lull in action. In the last 24 hours, the total value of open futures positions, also known as open interest, has grown by 5%, reaching $7.3 billion.

At the same time, funding rates (cost of holding long positions) have turned slightly positive. This shift suggests that there is a change in market sentiment and that traders are now betting on SOL’s price to go up.

When both open interest and funding rates rise together, it usually means that demand for that particular crypto is returning.

Moreover, positive net taker volume highlights that more buyers are stepping up at current prices. The spot CVD (Cumulative Volume Delta), which tracks real buying pressure in the spot market, is also going up.

This means that recovery in SOL’s price action is not just driven by futures traders, but also supported by real buying.
