Solana indicators show low demand – Should you be worried?

• Solana has breached an imbalance on the daily chart and could retest it as a support zone.
• The momentum and price action signaled bulls were in control of the market.

Solana [SOL] saw a spike in the non-fungible token trading volume. A recent AMBCrypto report revealed that the Solana-based NFT volume increased 30% in the 24 hours that preceded press time, but that its month-to-month volume was still down 57% compared to April.

Technical analysis of the token showed that a $200 target was feasible. The bullish outlook remained strong, but the volume indicators continued to cast a slight doubt on the breakout.

In a previous price analysis, AMBCrypto noted that the OBV had not made a move past the local resistance despite the price rally. The Fibonacci extension levels at $236 and $279 are the next targets, but the lack of a bullish follow-through could be a sign of weakness.

The trading volume did not surge higher despite the break of a six-week resistance zone. The CMF sunk toward -0.05. Its reading of -0.03 at press time showed no significant capital flow into or out of the SOL market.

This was worrying because ideally a breakout should be accompanied by increased buying pressure.

Therefore, SOL might sink below the $160 zone again. It was not likely at press time, given the momentum indicators and the price action itself. The Directional Movement Index showed a strong uptrend with both the +DI and ADX above the 20 mark.
