Solana Price Faces Resistance
Solana price remained stable and started a decent recovery wave from $68, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. SOL was able to climb above the $75 level.
There was a move above the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $106 swing high to the $68 low. However, the bears are active below $90. There is also a key bearish trend line forming with resistance at $88 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair.
Solana is now trading above $80 and the 100-hourly simple moving average. On the upside, immediate resistance is near the $88 level and the trend line.
The next major resistance is near the $92 level and the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $106 swing high to the $68 low. The main resistance could be $95. A successful close above the $95 resistance zone could set the pace for another steady increase. The next key resistance is $102. Any more gains might send the price toward the $112 level.
Another Decline In SOL?
If SOL fails to rise above the $92 resistance, it could continue to move down. Initial support on the downside is near the $84 zone. The first major support is near the $80 level.
A break below the $80 level might send the price toward the $72 support zone. If there is a close below the $72 support, the price could decline toward the $68 zone in the near term.
