Solana Price Faces Resistance
Solana price struggled to clear the $155 resistance and started a fresh decline, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. SOL declined below the $140 and $132 support levels.
It even dived below the $120 level. The recent low was formed at $114 before the price recovered some losses. It climbed above the $120 and $122 levels. The price surpassed the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $151 swing high to the $114 swing low.
Solana is now trading below $130 and the 100-hourly simple moving average. There is also a short-term rising channel forming with support at $124 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair.
On the upside, the price is facing resistance near the $128 level. The next major resistance is near the $130 level. The main resistance could be $132 and the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $151 swing high to the $114 swing low.
A successful close above the $132 resistance zone could set the pace for another steady increase. The next key resistance is $140. Any more gains might send the price toward the $150 level.
Another Decline in SOL?
If SOL fails to rise above the $132 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $124 zone. The first major support is near the $120 level.
A break below the $120 level might send the price toward the $114 zone. If there is a close below the $114 support, the price could decline toward the $100 support in the near term.
