Solana ($SOL) is facing a challenging period in the market, with its price dropping to $130.56 USD. Here’s a closer look at what’s happening and what might be next for SOL. Recent Price Decline 15.17% Drop in a Month: Over the past month, Solana coin has fallen by 15.17%. This decline reflects the broader market’s pressure on the cryptocurrency. 8.5% Weekly Fall: Just this week, Solana saw an 8.5% drop, a sign that bears are firmly in control. Despite attempts to maintain a bullish outlook, the market seems to have different plans. Critical Support Levels Breakdown of $134 Support: Recently, SOL broke through the $134 support level, raising concerns that further declines could be on the way. Key Support at $122: The $122 level is now under the spotlight. This price point has been tested six times, and many whales view it as crucial. A break below this could push SOL towards $90. But if this support holds, it might set the stage for a bullish turnaround. $100 Support: While the $100 support level is still a bit distant, it’s essential to watch if the current bearish momentum continues. Revisiting this level could spell trouble for Solana. Changing Market Sentiment Shift to Bearish: The overall sentiment around Solana is slowly turning bearish. Since March, SOL has struggled to make new highs, and the current price action suggests that new lows could be coming. Potential Bullish Outcome: However, some analysts believe that if Solana manages to stay above $122 throughout 2024 and 2025, it could be incredibly bullish for the future, possibly leading to significant gains in 2025. Upcoming Breakpoint Event Historical Price Surges: There’s a potential catalyst on the horizon. Historically, Solana has seen price surges two weeks before its annual Breakpoint event. In previous years, SOL surged by 35% in 2021 and 2022, and by 60% in 2023. 2024 Event: With 16 days left until the 2024 Breakpoint event, could we see another rally? Only time will tell. The Importance of $122 Support As Solana approaches the $122 support level, all eyes are on whether it will hold. A break below could lead to further declines, while maintaining this support could bring back some bullish momentum. As always, stay informed, and remember the old adage in crypto: "buy the rumor, sell the news." Keep watching the charts as we near the 2024 Breakpoint event. -

Hello
Hopefully this is an easy question that someone knows the answer to.
I am trying to replicate the ATR calculation in the IG app but I am struggling a bit. Based on OHLC data, I can replicate the TR for a given set of dates i.e. ATR(1), however I cannot replicate ATR(2) and wondered if anyone knew how this was calculated by IG. I am looking at ATR(2) as ultimately I will be coding up ATR(14) but I want to make sure I understand this first!
As an example, based on AUD/USD for 21/09/20 (simply as that's the data I am working on), I see the following:
In this screen dump:
- forex data in the first 5 columns
- TR = True Range and equals =MAX(ABS(current high - previous close), ABS(current low - previous close), current high - current low)
- IG-TR = data taken from IG calculated values from mobile app for ATR(1), differences I presume are due to rounding in OHLC data. Therefore I know that my calculation of TR agrees to IG.
- ATR_2 = AVERAGE (current TR, previous TR) - I believe this is the technically correct interpretation of ATR for period 2, please correct me if I am wrong. It is quite different to IG's numbers (IG_ATR_2)
- ATR_2 _alternative = AVERAGE(current TR, AVERAGE(previous TR, previous -1 TR)) - this gets much closer to "IG_ATR_2", however I am not convinced that this is correct - do you agree?
- IG_ATR_2 = data taken from IG calculated values from mobile app for ATR(2). I can see that the dps are at least 5 significant figures, which surprises me on a period of 2! Are these rolled forward time period to time period?
Hopefully someone can help and apologies if this doesn't make any sense.
Best wishes
Richard
