Reversal

Solana (SOL) has not seen the best performance, as a blockchain in the last few days, a sentiment that is beginning to raise concerns in the hearts of its users, investors, and analysts alike. 
<h2 id="strong-solana-sol-seeing-price-reversal-strong">Solana (SOL) Seeing Price Reversal</h2> 
After <a href="https://coingape.com/sponsored/solana-sol-price-prediction-for-april-2nd-is-solana-sol-price-ready-for-further-growth-long-term/">climbing as far as $200</a> a few days back, Solana has seen a significant price drop to less than $180.&nbsp; 
Upon surpassing $200, the Layer-1 protocol began to struggle to sustain its newly acquired position. The overhead supply ended up rejecting the price recovery twice within three weeks, fully showcasing the formation of a double-top pattern. The bearish outlook suggested that a correction is imminent for <a href="https://coingape.com/markets/why-solana-price-may-fall-25-amid-market-correction/">Solana</a> over an extended rally. 
It wasn’t long after that <a href="https://coingape.com/why-solana-price-fell-today/">Solana registered a 7% plunge</a> in value, however, this slump was tied to the frequent outages and <a href="https://coingape.com/solana-faces-second-network-congestion-in-two-days-anza-issues-fix/">congestion</a> that the network has been experiencing for some time. The sharp price slump suggested that investors’ sentiments were dwindling at an alarming rate.&nbsp; 
Commenting on this trend, the Founder and CIO of Cyber Capital Justin Bons opines that the congestion-induced drop in transactions on the Solana network has negatively impacted user experience to an unacceptable level. 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"> 
 Solana is failing right now 
 The rate of dropped TXs has degraded SOL's UX to an unacceptable state 
 Victory laps by modular scaling advocates are premature, though, as this will be fixed within weeks 
 SOL will return to reliably hosting more TPS than ETH &amp; all L2s combined soon!

Meanwhile, Bons believes that Solana’s recovery is around the corner and once this happens, “SOL will return to reliably hosting more TPS.” With a lot of boldness, the Cyber Capital founder stated that soon Solana’s transactions per second will outweigh that of Ethereum and other Layer-2 put together. 
He noted this will be possible with the Modular scaling development that is poised to be shipped in weeks.

The coin is currently exchanging hands between $170 and $180. It is not yet certain how long the correction period will last but the reversal is suggestive of a double-top pattern.&nbsp; 
If this is the case, Solana may be in for a prolonged price downtrend as the situation reflects the building selling pressure. With the market down a few days ago, it appeared that the price was heading towards the pattern’s support at $163. 
If the bearish breakdown goes below this support level, sellers are bound to be at an advantage and a 25% drop to hit $120 might be recorded.&nbsp; 
Apart from SOL, other cryptocurrencies in the L1 ecosystem are currently performing optimally, fuelled by the ongoing memecoin frenzy. <a href="https://coingape.com/markets/dogwifhat-price-prediction-is-it-a-good-time-to-buy-wif-near-all-time-highs/">Dogwifhat</a> (WIF) is gaining attention from investors who perceive the prospect of this cryptocurrency. <a href="https://coingape.com/solana-news-exec-expresses-optimism-over-tensor-listing-on-okx/">Tensor</a> (TNSR), an emerging protocol in the Non-fungible token (NFT) ecosystem built on&nbsp;Solana is also making waves.
