Price action remains perilous for Solana (SOL) as bulls wrestle to get rally back on track.
With a current trading price of $21.73 (a 24hr change of -0.51%), Solana continues to fight to hold rally structure - but judgement day is approaching.

The MACD on the other hand is sat at 0.139 - minor bullish divergence reflecting bulls running up to test local resistance off the
