- SOL broke out beneath the $87-$90 support zone
- The VRVP tool demarcated two demand zones to the south

The RSI has moved below neutral 50 since 18 January. Together, the structure and momentum showed that the bears have been in control. The OBV has dipped slightly lower over the past week, which pointed to a higher selling volume in recent days.
The Visible Range Volume Profile (VRVP) tool underlined that the $71-$76 zone was an important support zone. On the other hand, the $77-$90 area has much lower trading volume. This is a sign that the prices would move through this region rapidly.
Further south, the $56-$62 area has the most volume in the visible range. The Point of Control (red) sits at $57.8, marking it as a critical support level based on the past 14 weeks of trading.
