Global Crypto Market Update
Global crypto asset market valuations have been declining, particularly since August 27, 2024. Current crypto market conditions have significantly impacted PEPE, and the movement of SOL remains a concern for traders. In the midst of this, BlockDAG Network has announced a partnership with renowned football club Borussia Dortmund.
PEPE Remains in Bear Territory After "False Rally"
Data indicates that PEPE's price remains in bear territory, following a false rally in recent days. This aligns with the current crypto market situation, where global crypto asset market capitalization has dropped to $2.17 trillion on Thursday, August 29, 2024, from its previous peak on Tuesday, August 27, 2024.
Pepe Coin (PEPE) price is currently facing bearish prospects and is hovering near a critical support level. To avoid further downside of 22%, PEPE's price must hold above this level.
On August 28, 2024, there was a net outflow of 1.16 trillion PEPE (equivalent to $8.96 million) from whale wallets. Data from IntoTheBlock suggests that PEPE's large holders have been consistently offloading their assets in recent days.
The daily candlestick for August 28, 2024, exhibits an ongoing "tug-of-war" between buyers and sellers, with a long upper wick indicating aggressive selling.
Meanwhile, data from Coinglass shows a net inflow of $4.19 million worth of PEPE into exchanges, signaling that whales are moving their crypto holdings to exchanges for potential sell-offs. According to Coinglass Crypto Derivatives Visual Screener (CDVS), open interest (OI) has declined by 4.3%, while as of this writing, the price has gained 0.14% in the last 24 hours, indicating uncertainty among traders.
Coinglass's Liquidations Chart also suggests a higher number of short positions than longs, reflecting a bearish sentiment in the market. Both traders and whales anticipate that PEPE's price may decline further.
Currently, PEPE's price is likely to fall after the recent false rally, which could potentially lead to an aggressive correction and a 20% value decline. PEPE's price may find support around $0.00000700, which represents a 10% drop from its current value. However, if this support fails to hold, the price could fall another 22% to reach its August 5, 2024 low of approximately $0.00000585.
The ongoing whale selling and increase in short positions add to the bearish pressure, making it possible that the $0.00000700 support level may not hold.
If PEPE's price bounces off the support, holds above $0.00000700, and rebounds, it could indicate market strength and invalidate the current bearish scenario. In that case, PEPE's price could surge above $0.00000900 to reach new monthly highs.
Crypto Market Update: Where is Solana (SOL) Headed?
Reflecting the current state of the crypto market, Solana (SOL) price has been questioned further. As of this writing, the popular cryptocurrency is facing a downturn after breaking below $155 and $150. SOL is currently testing the $140 support level and struggling to initiate a recovery phase.
SOL's price initiated a fresh decline below $150. It is currently trading below both the $148 and the 100 hourly simple moving average (SMA). On SOL's hourly chart, the price is in a short-term descending channel, with resistance at $145.50. A clear break above $148 could initiate a recovery wave.
Solana price started a decline from above $155, similar to Bitcoin and Ethereum. SOL spiked lower and traded below $150, even testing the $140 support. The price made a low near $140.53 and is currently consolidating losses. There was a minor bounce above $142 and $143, with the price rising above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the decline from the $161.95 high to the $140.53 low.
Solana is now trading well below $150 and the 100 hourly simple moving average. On the upside, the price is facing resistance near $146. There is also a short-term descending channel in place, with resistance at $145.50 on the 1-hour time frame.
The next major resistance is near $148. A successful close above the $148 and $150 resistance levels could trigger the next leg of steady gains. The next key resistance is near $152 or the 50% Fib retracement level of the decline from the $161.95 high to the $140.53 low. If there is a further rise, the price could aim for $162.
If SOL fails to rise above $146, it could start another leg of decline. The initial support on the downside is near $142, with the first major support at $140. A break below $140 could open the doors for a decline towards $132. A close below $132 could lead the price to $125 in the near term.
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) technical indicator is also showing a bearish trend, while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is below 50. The major support levels are at $142 and $140, while the major resistance levels are at $146 and $148.
