Structure and Formations
The price of SOLARS formed a strong bullish impulse wave from 214,287 ARS, reaching 220,151 ARS, followed by a consolidation phase.
A bearish reversal candle emerged at 04:30 ET, suggesting short-term exhaustion. Key support levels were identified at 219,326 and 219,113 ARS, while a critical resistance at 219,667 ARS was tested twice without clear breakouts.
Moving Averages
The 20-period and 50-period moving averages on the 5-minute chart converged, reinforcing the upward bias during the morning session. Daily timeframes showed a clear separation between the 50 and 200-day averages, suggesting a potential continuation of the broader uptrend if the current momentum holds.
Momentum and Volatility
Relative Strength Index (RSI) climbed into overbought territory during the final hour, indicating potential short-term pullback risks. MACD showed a narrowing histogram and a flattening signal line, suggesting a temporary slowdown in bullish momentum. Bollinger Bands expanded during the session, reflecting increased volatility and price retesting of the upper band.
Volume and Turnover
Volume surged during the bullish breakout at 21:45 ET and again at 21:00 ET, confirming the strength of the rally. However, by 08:00 ET, volume faded significantly, coinciding with a price consolidation phase. Turnover mirrored volume patterns, with a clear divergence at 06:30 ET when price fell sharply while volume remained muted.
Key Retracement Levels
Fibonacci retracement levels on the 5-minute chart identified 219,358 ARS (38.2%) and 218,923 ARS (61.8%) as critical retracement levels during the post-220,151 ARS pullback. These levels were tested twice during the session, with price finding temporary support each time before resuming its upward direction.
The forward-looking technical signal appears to favor a short-term test of the 219,667 ARS resistance level, with a probable correction to 218,923 ARS if momentum wanes. Investors should remain cautious, as a prolonged overbought RSI and thin volume at close may indicate waning conviction in the near-term move.
