The S&P 500 index has declined about 5% this week while the Nasdaq Composite is down more than 5.5%. Investors fear that the Federal Reserve’s aggressive rate hikes could cause an economic downturn. The yield curve between the two-year and 10-year Treasury notes, which is watched closely by analysts for predicting a recession, has
SOL/USDT
Solana (SOL) has been getting squeezed between the 20-day EMA ($33) and the immediate support at $30. This indicates a state of equilibrium between buyers and sellers.
This uncertainty is unlikely to continue for long. The bears will try to seize control by pulling the price below $30. If that happens, the SOL/USDT pair could drop to the strong support at $26. The bulls are expected to defend this level aggressively because if this support cracks, the SOL/USDT pair could witness panic selling and drop toward $20.
To invalidate this negative view in the short term, buyers will have to drive the price above the moving averages and the overhead resistance at $39. If they succeed, the pair could rally to $48.
DOGE/USDT
Buyers bought the dip below the immediate support on Sept. 21 but they are struggling to sustain Dogecoin (DOGE) above the 20-day EMA ($0.06) on Sept. 23. This suggests that bears continue to sell on rallies.
The bears will attempt to increase their advantage by sinking the price below the immediate support near $0.06. If they do that, the DOGE/USDT pair could extend its decline to the June low at $0.05. This is a pivotal level because a break below it could indicate the start of the next leg of the downtrend.
Conversely, if the price sustains above the 20-day EMA, the pair could rise to the 50-day SMA ($0.07). If bulls pierce this resistance, the pair could rally toward $0.09.
DOT/USDT
Buyers successfully defended the critical support of $6 on Sept. 21 and 22 but the shallow bounce suggests that demand dries up at higher levels. The longer Polkadot (DOT) trades below the 20-day EMA (6.87), the greater the possibility of a break below $6.
If bears sink and sustain the price below $6, the selling momentum could pick up and the DOT/USDT pair could resume its downtrend. The next major support on the downside is at $4.
Alternatively, if the price rebounds off $6 or turns up sharply after breaking below the support, it will suggest that bulls continue to buy at lower levels. The bulls will have to propel the price above the moving averages to clear the path for a possible up-move to $10, which, again, is likely to act as a barrier.
