Despite the crash and 40% loss, Solana (SOL) sets a bull flag for the week with a target of $ 250

The Solana (SOL) price continued its downward trend on September 17th due to a prolonged outage, indicating high security risks, which shook traders’ confidence.

The SOL fell as much as 13.27% to a September 17 low of $ 133.53, in a corrective trend from a high near $ 221.38 on September 9.

Although the SOL has fallen nearly 40% since a local high was set last week, it has still more than tripled in the past 30 days.

Investors lose interest

Proponents see Solana’s Layer 1 blockchain solution as a direct competitor to Ethereum, largely due to its potential to guarantee higher speeds and lower transaction costs.

However, on September 14th, Solana experienced a service outage (DoS) that increased the transaction load to as much as 400,000 per second over the maximum capacity of the network. As a result, Solana’s mainnet beta was unstable for 18 hours, forcing dApps on its blockchain to shut down.

“Lol, what the hell is going on today?

SOL is offline for a couple of hours

Arbitrum has been out of business for almost an hour

Ethereum attack failed. “

In a tweet published on September 16, Solana promised to act more proactively against potential hacking attempts. The organization also announced that it would publish a detailed analysis after “researching the attack” in the coming weeks.

Bull flag

The SOL is expected to continue its upward momentum despite the price correction as it establishes a classic technical structure with a bullish outlook on the chart.

This pattern is known as the bull flag – which forms when price consolidates down in a descending channel (flag) after a sharp move up (flagpole). Eventually, price breaks the channel’s upper trendline, which usually rises by the height of the flagpole.

A subsequent attempt to break the channel’s upper trendline could propel SOL’s price to the flagpole, about $ 107 or $ 250.
