The H4 structure was firmly bullish at press time. A minor dip followed by further gains was a likely scenario.

Bitcoin [BTC] continued to post gains over the weekend but displayed signs of a bearish divergence with momentum indicators. It also traded beneath the $28.7k resistance, a level that had been BTC’s last stand before a plunge to $19k in June 2022. Solana [SOL] also reversed its drop to $16, and bulls pushed it back above $20.5.

The smart contract count and development activity were on the rise in March, which boded well for longer-term investors. Can the asset rise to the $26.6 range high once more?

On the four-hour chart, two lower highs were marked in blue. Both of these lower highs have been beaten within the past ten days. The lower LH would be a more aggressive reading of the structure, and the upper LH would be a more conservative method.

Combined with the series of higher lows Solana has posted, the market structure was firmly bullish. Moreover, the price has also climbed back within the $20.5-$26.6 range. The price had traded within this range from mid-January to early March.

In the past two days, a move upward past $21 left an imbalance on the charts. This fair value gap was highlighted in white and lies close to the range lows. Therefore, a price move to the $20.5-$21 region could offer a buying opportunity targeting the mid-range resistance level at $23.5.

Traders can opt to zoom in on lower timeframes to search for entries. On H4, the MACD showed bullish momentum. The DMI also showed a strong uptrend in progress with both the ADX and the +DI above the 20 mark.

The four-hour chart on Coinalyze showed the Open Interest has gained close to $30 million since 16 March. During this time, the price has rallied from $19 to $22.2. The inference was that sentiment was bullish in the market.

The spot CVD has been in decline in recent months. However, this changed over the past two weeks. It formed a bottom and has registered some gains over the past few days, to reflect the buying pressure that drove SOL’s rally from $16.
