SOL forecast: pullback or continued growth
Unlike the bullish weekly chart, the shorter six-hour time frame suggests that a correction may occur first before the altcoin eventually resumes its rise.
The reason for this lies in price dynamics. The chart shows that SOL deviated above the $62.50 resistance area and then tested it again.
The price movement resembles a technical head and shoulders (H&S) pattern, which is considered bearish. In any case, the viability of this model has not yet been confirmed.
This will only happen if Solana breaks below the $60 neckline. In this case, the price is expected to fall by 25% to the nearest support of $45.
On the downside, a recovery above the $62.50 area would invalidate the H&S pattern and lead to at least a 25% rally to the next resistance at $76.80.
Thus, the further forecast of SOL depends on the price behavior in the resistance area of $62.50. Depending on whether we see a rebound or a breakout, the price could either rise or fall by 25%.
