The token has struggled to hold gains over the past week, with repeated rejections near the $88\u2013$90 zone signaling fading bullish strength.<\/p>\n<p>The latest move comes as Solana continues to track broader market caution, with Bitcoin (BTC) hovering below key resistance levels and limiting upside across high-beta altcoins.<\/p>\n<p>On the 4-hour chart, Solana price appears to be forming a rounded top pattern, typically considered a bearish reversal structure. The pattern reflects a gradual shift from buying pressure to sustained selling, often leading to a breakdown once key support levels give way.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Solana price is forming a rounded top pattern on the 4-hour chart \u2014 April 30 | Source: crypto.news<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In Solana\u2019s case, the neckline of this formation sits near the $78\u2013$80 region, which has acted as a strong support zone throughout April.
