Solana Set to Drop to $209: The Unmissable Short Opportunity

Solana: About to Drop Again?

After yesterday’s successful long position, it’s time to bet on a downward move for Solana. Indeed, Bitcoin liquidated long positions yesterday down to $124,000, and now appears to be heading toward numerous long positions further south.

In this context, Solana should correct toward a confluent support level. The 16H SOL chart shows a likely correction between $204 and $213 in the 16H demand zone.

Similar to yesterday’s long position, this trade will only last for a few days, perhaps until next week if nothing happens during the weekend.

Nevertheless, the 4H chart indicates a potential bounce between $226 and $234 in the coming hours. It’s therefore advisable to enter SOL gradually.

The FBB Bollinger bands on the 30-minute chart are widening, indicating increased volatility. SOL can still bounce in the coming hours with a resistance level at $228.8 to watch closely.

A Short Position to Profit from the Drop

The advantage of short positions is that you can profit from market downturns. Especially to “hedge” your spot positions.

Here’s the short trade to execute on SOL:

• Entry price: between $232 and $226
• Stop loss: $236
• Take profit: between $215 and $204
• Potential gains: Between 50% and 100% with 10x leverage

Remember to adjust your leverage and position size based on what you’re willing to lose if SOL hits your stop loss at $236.
