Over the past 30 days, Ethereum ETH/USD is down 8%, while Solana SOL/USD is up 9.5%, sparking a debate among traders about this curious divergence.
What Happened: Crypto trader Javon Marks noted that Ethereum's current price means a “hidden bull”, similar to the last time when it led to a surge over 162%. He predicts that "prices can still be setting up here for another massive continuation move!"
He went on to say that the $4723.50 target remains unchanged, with another 48% spike potentially in the making. He believes the Hidden Bull Divergence is one of multiple indicators of a bullish trend being intact.
Cypto chart analyst Ali Martinez noted that while the dip keeps dipping, Solana could be forming a bullish megaphone on the 4-hour chart. Based on technical analysis, the recent correction to the 61.8% Fibonacci level and oversold RSI suggest a buying opportunity.
He suggests placing a stop-loss around $156-$154 and taking profit between $200-$259.
Another crypto trade said that after Solana broke the last consolidation range it surged 600%.
