Solana had crucial support at $37.71 but this level was broken in a swift move as Bitcoin plunged from $22k to $21k in the span of four hours.

At the time of writing, Solana had a strong bearish outlook and a retest of the $38 zone could offer a shorting opportunity. Sellers took the driving seat on 24 July and haven’t relinquished it yet, and the bleeding could continue through this week.

The previously bullish structure was also broken last week when buyers were unable to defend the $43-$44 region.

Solana had a shorter timeframe bullish structure since the start of July. In mid-June, a rally from $26 to $42 was initiated. It was borne on the back of steady demand as well.

In July, the bulls were able to maintain SOL’s upward trajectory as they pushed the coin to retest the $38 region twice as resistance and flip it to support two weeks ago. Another leg upward to $47 materialized, but Bitcoin was rejected at the $24.1k mark.

Bitcoin faced resistance at $21.6k-$21.9k, and the $22.5k areas. A move upward appeared unlikely. Price action-wise, it was a similar story for Solana. SOL was likely to face intense selling pressure at the $37.7 mark as well as the $39.5-$40.5 area.
