The cryptocurrency market is experiencing a period of high volatility, and two of the leading coins, Ethereum and Solana, are facing uncertain short-term prospects. According to analyst Josh of Crypto World, both coins are currently in a bearish trend, with Ethereum struggling to break through strong resistance levels and Solana failing to overcome significant resistance.

Ethereum's price is currently retesting a short-term support level between $3,470 and $3,480. If this support level breaks, the next level to watch is around $3,350. The coin has been trading in a choppy sideways range, appearing neutral in the very short term. However, a strong rejection from the golden pocket area of resistance between $3,600 and $3,650 has pushed the price back down.

For Ethereum to enter a bullish trend, a confirmed breakout above $3,650 is necessary. Until then, the coin is expected to continue trading in a sideways range, with both short-term bullish and bearish movements possible. The analyst notes that strong support around $3,420 could hold, leading to more choppy price action.

Solana, on the other hand, is still in a short-term bearish trend, despite a brief pause due to a short-term bullish divergence. The coin bounced from the $128 support level but faced multiple rejections in the $140 to $144 range. This area continues to act as strong resistance, while support remains between $120 and $128. To shift towards a bullish trend, Solana needs a confirmed breakout above approximately $144, and ideally above $160.

In conclusion, the short-term outlook for Ethereum and Solana remains uncertain and bearish. While both coins are experiencing choppy price action, they need to break through significant resistance levels to enter a bullish trend. Until then, investors should exercise caution and closely monitor market developments.
