At 12:00 ET on 2026-01-01, Solana/Mexican Peso (SOLMXN) opened at 2259.0, reached a high of 2261.0, a low of 2243.0, and closed at 2253.0. Total volume over the 24-hour period was 106.985, and notional turnover amounted to 237,259.771 MXN.
Structure & Formations
Price action over the 24-hour period showed clear short-term bearish bias, especially after a key bearish engulfing pattern formed at 2259.0 following a high at 2261.0. A consolidation phase followed near 2253.0, with multiple failed attempts to break above 2256–2258. Support levels appear to hold near 2253.0 and 2243.0, with resistance still in place at 2256.0.
Moving Averages
Short-term (20/50-period) moving averages on the 5-minute chart remained in a bearish alignment most of the day, reinforcing the downward pressure. Daily 50/100/200-period MAs would need updated data for full context, but the intraday trend suggests continued caution ahead of a potential reversal.
MACD & RSI
MACD remained bearish throughout the session, with negative divergence in the last 4–5 hours. RSI showed no extreme readings, staying around 50 for most of the period, indicating sideways to slightly bearish momentum. A breakout from the 2253.0–2256.0 range could trigger a directional move.
Bollinger Bands
Bollinger Bands showed a period of contraction around 03:00–08:00 ET, followed by expansion as volatility picked up after 20:15 ET. Price moved below the lower band during the 20:15–20:45 ET period, suggesting increased bearish pressure.
Volume & Turnover
Volume remained low for much of the session, with a significant spike at 20:15 ET (8.021 units) when price dropped sharply to 2243.0. Turnover mirrored this activity, showing strong bearish conviction during the move. No notable divergence between price and volume was observed.
Fibonacci Retracements
The key 5-minute swing from 2261.0 to 2243.0 saw a retest of the 61.8% level at around 2253.0. This level appears to be consolidating, and a break above 2256.0 could see a retest of the 78.6% level at approximately 2258.0.
Looking ahead, a breakout above 2256.0 could signal bullish momentum, but caution is warranted as the 2253.0–2256.0 range has shown significant resistance. Traders should monitor volume behavior and 20-period MA crossovers for potential confirmation of direction. As always, volatility remains a risk, especially if volume spikes again.
