Solana Price Trims Gains
Solana price struggled to continue higher above $160 and started a fresh decline, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. SOL declined below the $155 and $152 support levels.
It even dipped below $150 and tested the $145 zone. A low was formed at $144 and the price is now correcting some losses. There was a move above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $160 swing high to the $144 low.
Besides, there was a break above a key bearish trend line with resistance at $147 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair. Solana is now trading below $150 and the 100-hourly simple moving average.
On the upside, the price is facing resistance near the $150 level. The next major resistance is near the $152 level. It is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $160 swing high to the $144 low. The main resistance could be $155. A successful close above the $155 resistance zone could set the pace for another steady increase. The next key resistance is $160. Any more gains might send the price toward the $165 level.
Another Decline in SOL?
If SOL fails to rise above the $150 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $145 zone. The first major support is near the $142 level.
A break below the $142 level might send the price toward the $136 zone. If there is a close below the $136 support, the price could decline toward the $125 support in the near term.
