Solana technical analysis

Interestingly, the technical analysis of Solana’s 2-hour gauges on TradingView is primarily bullish after days of bearishness. Indeed the summary gauge is a ‘buy’ at 15, while moving averages are for a ‘strong buy’ at 13. Elsewhere, the oscillators are recommending neutral at 8.  The jury remains out on Solana due to the ongoing repercussions of the FTX controversy. The crypto community’s faith in Solana’s future has substantially weakened due to the unfortunate events that occurred with the cryptocurrency exchange.  However, Delphi Digital tweeted on January 1 amid the turmoil: What’s more, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin shared his support for Solana, hoping that the community will have the opportunity to flourish after the “awful opportunistic money people” has exited the blockchain. All in all, investors are still attempting to ascertain whether or not the close link between Solana and FTX will put SOL’s future in peril or not. When FTX’s operations were at their highest, the Solana team received a significant quantity of support from Bankman-Fried and FTX.  Disclaimer: The content on this site should not be considered investment advice.
