Can It Hold the $184 Support Line?

Key Insights:

• SOL is trading below key moving averages, signaling continued short-term downside pressure.
• $184 support is under threat; a break lower could trigger a move toward $172 liquidity.
• Long-term trend remains intact, but short-term direction hinges on reaction at $184–$172 range.

Solana (SOL) was trading at $184.56, showing little movement over the last 24 hours and down over 9% for the week. The price has continued to slide across short timeframes, with current levels sitting below the 5-hour, 10-hour, and 20-hour moving averages. These indicators point to selling pressure in the market.

The RSI is sitting just above the oversold line, around the mid-30s. This reading suggests that the market is still leaning bearish. At the same time, it signals that the price may be nearing a level where a short-term bounce could happen. The MACD is also negative, with the main line below the signal line and the histogram trending lower, which adds weight to the current weakness.

$184 Support Under Pressure

The $184 level is proving to be an important area. It has been tested several times over the past few days and is now being retested. If this area holds, the market could stabilize in the short term. If it breaks, a move lower could develop quickly.

Above, the next resistance sits around $192. This level has seen price hesitation before, and it lines up with a previous range where buyers and sellers were active. Any move back toward $192 would need strong volume to shift the current trend.

$172 Remains a Key Zone

Traders are also watching the $172 area. This zone has been flagged as a spot where buy orders may be waiting. A dip into this region followed by a sharp recovery could attract attention from long-position traders. One market watcher noted, “a sweep of that low at $172, reaction there would be key,” pointing to a possible entry if price reacts strongly off that level.

If there’s no reaction, the price could continue toward deeper areas of interest, such as $160 or $150, where past trading activity has been heavier.

Broader Trend Still Intact

While pressure is building in the short term, the broader trend from earlier in the year is still holding. Solana has been forming higher lows since the spring, staying within a rising price channel. The recent pullback still falls within this larger trend.

Looking forward, if the price holds above current levels and demand steps in, the first target is around $200. Beyond that, the 0.618 Fibonacci level sits at $218.67. The longer-term target remains near $295, close to the high from January.
