The Solana price plummeted more than 8% over the past 24 hours to trade at $167.96 as of 3:00 a.m. EST as investors continue to drop their holdings in the crypto. The Solana Price At Risk Of Losing Another Key Support 4-hour chart for SOL/USDT (Source: TradingView ) The Solana price printed a series of lower lows and lower highs on the 4-hour chart over the past 48 hours. This sell pressure pulled the altcoin’s value below the $180.08 support, with the crypto now at risk of losing the $162.42 support in the next 24 hours as well.

This bearish thesis could be invalidated if the Solana price rebounds from the $162.42 support in the coming 12 hours. SOL may then attempt to reclaim a position above the recently-breached $180.08 mark. A 4-hour candle close higher than this significant price point in the coming 24 hours may give the altcoin the foundat...

Shiba Inu (SHIB), the second-largest meme coin, has recently garnered significant attention in the cryptocurrency market. SHIB is often considered a serious contender compared to Dogecoin. However, the token has demonstrated a notable performance in 2024 thus far. At the beginning of the year, SHIB was trading below $0.000010 before experiencing a rally of over 450%, reaching a peak of $0.000045 in mid-February. Despite remaining 67% below its all-time high from 2021, this recent price action indicates a resurgence of interest and positive sentiment surrounding the viral crypto.
