Solana (SOL) price has been on the back foot for two consecutive weeks. Although the earning season is rocking the boat quite a fair bit, SOL looks set to eke out gains for this week, where a weekly close above the 55-day Simple Moving Average would be ideal. If investors can sit on their hands, SOL price could get pumped in a rally towards $146, holding 50% gains.

SOL price set to cut like a knife through butter towards $150

Solana price saw its rally in March, being almost wholly paired back in the first weeks of April. Bulls are planning, however, not to let it come that far. Eagerly defending $90.23, the 55-day SMA at $100 is being used as an anchor point where buyers and sellers are in a distribution phase, where bulls then get to sit on their hands and see price action ramp up higher with bears desperate to sell and looking for the highest price where finally some bulls are willing to sell.

SOL price thus is in a scenario that favours the bulls in this technical play. Even jumping in now for that trade still makes sense, with a stop below $0.90, a trader only has to give up roughly $10, and when SOL price rallies towards $150, your trading book will have made 50$ return in a 1-to-5 risk-reward ratio which is very lucrative. If the rally has much more legs beyond $150 it is doubtful that the death cross and the 200-day SMA at $146 will put a drag on the rally for the short term.
