Encouragingly, the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) has consistently provided support for the price, indicating the potential for an upcoming bullish reversal.
However, a breach of the rising support trendline could lead to a loss of momentum, with the price potentially testing the support level at $38.77 in the near term. In the event of a trend reversal, further downward movement could take the price to a lower support level of $33.29 in the coming days.
Performing Like An Ethereum Killer
Solana has been performing like a true Ethereum killer while gaining an edge over the largest altcoin. According to a recent report by Kaiko Research, the Solana (SOL) to Ethereum (ETH) ratio has exhibited a consistent rally since September. This rally has brought the ratio back to the levels it held before the crypto exchange FTX’s collapse in November 2022.
“Since September, SOL has been the clear outperformer, with the ratio between the two jumping from 0.011 to nearly 0.025, breaking the ratio from just before FTX’s collapse.”
