Solana Price Eyes Steady Increase
Solana price extended losses after there was a close below $188, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. SOL traded below the $185 and $108 support levels to enter a short-term bearish zone.
A low was formed at $175 and the price is now attempting a fresh increase. The price surpassed the $180 and $182 resistance levels. There was a move above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $210 swing high to the $175 low.
Besides, there was a break above a connecting bearish trend line with resistance at $183 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair. Solana is now trading above $182 and the 100-hourly simple moving average.
On the upside, the price is facing resistance near the $188 level. The next major resistance is near the $192 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $210 swing high to the $175 low. The main resistance could be $195. A successful close above the $195 resistance zone could set the pace for another steady increase. The next key resistance is $200. Any more gains might send the price toward the $210 level.
Another Decline In SOL?
If SOL fails to rise above the $188 resistance, it could continue to move down. Initial support on the downside is near the $184 zone. The first major support is near the $180 level.
A break below the $180 level might send the price toward the $175 support zone. If there is a close below the $175 support, the price could decline toward the $166 support in the near term.
