today is beginning a rivalry against Bitcoin and showing initial signs of strength. Even though it’s a red day for SOL USD, we will see some interesting insight on the charts below.

Except…

– Solana was #1 in real economic value (what people pay to access blockspace): $8.5 million in the past week
– $29 billion in weekly spot DEX volume, higher than the entire “Ethereum ecosystem”
– 540 million weekly transactions, 3x more than ALL… pic.twitter.com/rmmJNCDp7D

These are some great fundamentals! And projects with great fundamentals tend to be a good place to park one’s money. The fact that Solana had higher DEX volume than Ethereum over the past week is telling. For reference, Solana’s market cap is $90 billion, and Ethereum has a market cap of $420 billion. If Solana catches up with Ethereum’s market cap, SOL USD will be trading at +$600.

SOL USD Technical Analysis + SOL BTC Chart

Let us begin our analysis with the SOL BTC Daily chart. Briefly, we can see that the bearish market structure has been broken with a new High made in September. And we are currently printing a Higher Low. I thought the Higher Low would be the previous one. But even this second one fits into a bullish market structure. We would not want it to go much lowe though.

Just a quick glimpse at these two 5-minute charts shows us that Solana is stronger against the dollar today compared to Bitcoin.

Now, if you remember from our previous analysis, we had this support level at ~$180 that traders loved and wanted to hold. There were also some bullish signals! Well, it did not hold. And that is a bummer to a degree. But when the crowd is fearful, then it is a good time to buy. Is it though? For a further upside and a worthwhile investment, traders want to see that $180 level, and the Moving Averages. RSI, on the other hand, is oversold – maybe we will see a form of a bounce.

Follow your rules and stick to good risk management. We are not out of the woods yet!
