A renowned cryptocurrency expert shared a bearish warning for Solana (SOL), highlighting that the token's price could drop to the $122 level soon.
Amid the recent decline in the broader market, the Solana cryptocurrency has seen notable drops in its price in recent days. In the last two weeks alone, the price of SOL has registered a drop of almost 20%.
Analyzing the current scenario, cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez shared in his technical analysis that currently, the Solana cryptocurrency appears to be forming a head and shoulders pattern and, as a result, a drop below the $141 zone could result in a correction that will take the SOL token price to the $122 level.
“Solana may be forming a head and shoulders pattern on the hourly chart, which suggests a drop below $141 could trigger a correction that sends $SOL to $122!” he wrote.
