AMBCrypto noted that SOL could appreciate to $32, but at a slower pace than the previous aggressive pump in July. The faltering price action at $30 at press time cemented the above idea. But does that still make $32 a bullish target? 

Will SOL extend the bullish momentum?

On the 12-hour chart, there were two crucial levels that pullback could extend to. The first was a confluence of a liquidity/price imbalance at $27.3 – $28.6 (cyan) and an H12 bearish order block at $26.14 – $27.38 (white). 

The second level was at a breaker block of $24.0 and $25.3 (red), right below the first level of interest. However, the confluence at the first level could ease the pullback, especially if BTC doesn’t retrace much in the mid-term. 

If SOL extends recovery, the bullish targets will be $30, $32, $33.8, and $37.4. 

Conversely, the altcoin could depreciate to the breaker block at $24 should sellers overwhelm bulls in the next few days.

Despite the downticks on key indicators at press time, the RSI, OBV, and CMF was still positive. It indicated that SOL’s buying pressure, Spot market demand, and capital inflows remained substantial. 

Liquidation levels exhibited a bearish bias

The Cumulative Liq Levels Delta (CLLD) was positive, indicating a bearish bias.  It captured the price, faltering at $30. The metric tracks long vs. short liquidation across time. The green/positive reading showed more long positions were liquidated – a bearish inclination.

The recent higher liquidation levels, shown by larger and medium bubbles, existed at $28.7, $27.5, and $27.0. The liquidity at $28.7 was hit as of press time, and $27.5 could be next before a possible reversal to the upside. 

Interestingly, the $27.5 fell within the confluence of liquidity on the chart and an invalidated roadblock and could attract players as support.
