BTC and SOL: Chart Analysis for September 12, 2023

After hitting a recent low at $24,912, buyers took advantage of the psychological $25,000 mark, pushing Bitcoin's price close to the $26,050 resistance. 

Should the buyers maintain their momentum, BTC might break this current resistance and solidify above the selling range of $26,300-$26,600. This would open up the possibility of reaching new highs around $27,200 and within the $27,700-$28,200 bracket.

Nevertheless, it's crucial to note that as long as Bitcoin remains below $28,000, the overarching trend is bearish. Further declines might be on the horizon if the $25,250-$25,500 support range is breached.

Since mid-July, Solana has been on a local downtrend. Currently, it sits within the support zone of $17.34 to $18.14. If this range fails to hold, SOL might refresh its lows and drop below $17.

A key resistance stands at $19.5. Beyond this, sell orders are concentrated between $20.25 and $21.08, with another significant cluster lying between $22 and $23. As long as Solana's price is below this latter range, the trend remains bearish.

Recent chatter suggests that the FTX exchange is preparing to liquidate a significant portion of its SOL holdings, rumored to be over a billion. Although this news might already be factored into Solana's valuation, the asset's chart could still exhibit some irregularities due to the ongoing buzz. Traders should exercise caution or even consider temporarily suspending their Solana trading activities in the near term.
