Solana (SOL/USD) at a Crossroads: Navigating the channels
Analysis:
//Entry:
Breakout Play: If SOL/USD breaks out from the downward channel convincingly with increased volume and closes above it, one could enter a long position. The breakout could invalidate the bearish H&S pattern and signal a potential trend reversal.
H&S Pattern Play: If the price fails to break out and instead respects the upper boundary of the channel, turning down to complete the right shoulder, one could consider a short entry upon the break below the neckline of the H&S pattern.
// Exit:
Breakout Play: If entering long on a breakout, set the target at a previous high or resistance level that the price might encounter upon reversal. Alternatively, a trader might use a trailing stop to capture as much of the potential uptrend as possible.
H&S Pattern Play: If entering short due to the H&S pattern completion, the target would be set at the projected distance from the head to the neckline, extended below the neckline.
// Invalidation:
Breakout Play: The long position is invalidated if the price falls back into the channel post-breakout, especially if it goes below the previous low within the channel. This indicates a false breakout and continued bearish sentiment.
H&S Pattern Play: The short position is invalidated if the price breaks above the right shoulder or neckline after entry, indicating that buyers have regained control and the pattern has failed.
Risk Management:
Always use stop-loss orders to manage the risk. For the breakout play, the stop-loss could be placed just below the breakout candle or the previous swing low. For the H&S pattern play, the stop-loss could be just above the right shoulder or a percentage of the entry price.
Position size should be determined by the distance to the stop-loss and the amount of capital risked on the trade, which is often recommended to be no more than 1-2% of your trading capital.
