The <a href="https://finbold.com/guides/cryptocurrency/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">cryptocurrency market</a> is currently experiencing a slight downturn, with major assets such as Bitcoin (<a href="https://finbold.com/cryptocurrency/bitcoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BTC</a>) and Ethereum (<a href="https://finbold.com/cryptocurrency/ethereum/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ETH</a>) losing some of their recent gains. This correction and the absence of significant market developments have made it difficult for the sector to embark on a <a href="https://finbold.com/guide/bull-market-definition/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">bullish</a> trend.However, <a href="https://finbold.com/guides/investing/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">investors</a> should still keep an eye on certain <a href="https://finbold.com/cryptocurrencies" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">cryptocurrencies</a> that have shown promising adoption and network developments. Finbold has therefore compiled three cryptocurrencies to watch for the week of April 24.<h2 id="header-0">Solana (SOL)</h2>The decentralized finance (<a href="https://finbold.com/guide/liquidity-mining-definition/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">DeFi</a>) token is once again at the forefront of the crypto space, thanks to recent developments that could potentially trigger a price rally.Notably, the much-anticipated release of the Solana (<a href="https://finbold.com/cryptocurrency/solana/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">SOL</a>) Android phone was finally announced after the initial announcement in mid-2022. The phone is expected to open up opportunities for mobile-based crypto transactions, and this has generated a buzz in the crypto community.As a result, Solana experienced a short-term price rally, and investors are closely monitoring the overall impact on the value of SOL.Despite this boost, SOL is still struggling due to the general market correction, which has translated to weekly losses of about 12%. At press time, SOL was trading at $21.36.<img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/srd-optimized-uploads/9882af7ddeef43448356f490eea43087.png" />SOL 7-day price chart. Source: Finbold<a href="https://finbold.com/guide/technical-analysis/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Technical analysis</a> indicators from TradingView show a largely <a href="https://finbold.com/guide/bear-market-definition/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">bearish</a> outlook for SOL in the short term. The summary of the gauges recommends a ‘sell’ at 13, while oscillators are at 2, and <a href="https://finbold.com/guide/moving-average/#:~:text&#61;A%20moving%20average%20is%20a,%2Dto%2Dday%20price%20fluctuations." rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">moving averages</a> indicate a ‘strong sell’ at 11.<img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/srd-optimized-uploads/be69c4afc1a94f629a8fc1361c5641a3.png" />SOL technical analysis. Source: TradingView<h2 id="header-1">Rocket Pool (RPL)</h2>Rocket Pool (<a href="https://finbold.com/cryptocurrency/rocket-pool/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">RPL</a>) price has experienced a significant surge in recent days, in part due to the success of Ethereum’s Shapella upgrade. The upgrade combines changes to the execution layer, consensus layer, and the Engine API, allowing investors to unstake their ETH from the network.This has contributed to the growing popularity of Rocket Pool as a staking solution for Ethereum, which provides a more accessible way to participate in staking without the need to hold 32 ETH.However, RPL has since erased some of its gains alongside Ethereum. By press time, RPL was trading at $45.99 with daily losses of over 3%. Investors will be keen to monitor whether RPL can sustain and reignite the gains from Ethereum’s staking update.<img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/srd-optimized-uploads/d753f3775e1f4cac947908332c435eaf.png" />RPL 7-day price chart. Source: FinboldUnder technical analysis, RPL’s sentiment is offering mixed signals. A summary of the gauges recommends ‘neutral’ at 8, while moving averages suggest ‘sell’ at 7. Oscillators recommend ‘buy’ at 3.<img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/srd-optimized-uploads/9c127aa940f04bd7a9d2b328c8c0720a.png" />RPL technical analysis. Source: TradingView<h2 id="header-2">Bitcoin (BTC)</h2>Despite its recent struggles to sustain gains above $30,000, Bitcoin’s overall sentiment remains bullish. The recent correction comes as renewed regulatory concerns in the U.S. have led to a threat of market exit by crypto exchange <a href="https://finbold.com/review/coinbase-review/#:~:text&#61;Today%2C%20Coinbase%20is%20thriving.,2021%2C%20according%20to%20Finbold%20analysts." rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Coinbase</a>, causing further uncertainty. At the same time, Bitcoin and other risky assets continue to await progress from the Federal Reserve, with the institution vowing to do everything to tame soaring inflation.On the other hand, Bitcoin is looking forward to benefiting from increased adoption developments. For instance, Telegram messaging app users can now <a href="https://finbold.com/telegram-wallet-users-can-now-buy-withdraw-and-exchange-bitcoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">access</a> Bitcoin services such as purchasing, withdrawing, and exchanging BTC through a wallet bot.The crypto community now focuses on whether Bitcoin can reclaim the $30,000 mark and hit new yearly highs. While Bloomberg’s senior commodity strategist Mike McGlone <a href="https://finbold.com/expert-predicts-major-pullback-for-bitcoin-and-ethereum-as-us-recession-looms/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">predicts</a> a short-term pullback, he remains bullish for the long-term outlook. Currently, Bitcoin is trading at $27,332 with a weekly loss of over 10%.<img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/srd-optimized-uploads/4d17d51dcece4cf597adef5b10c507d7.png" />BTC 7-day price chart.
