Solana Price Eyes More Gains
Solana price started a decent increase after it found support near the $155 zone, beating Bitcoin and Ethereum. SOL climbed above the $172 level to enter a short-term positive zone.
The price even smashed the $180 resistance. The bulls were able to push the price above the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $225 swing high to the $155 low. Besides, there is a bullish trend line forming with support at $188 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair.
Solana is now trading below $200 and the 100-hourly simple moving average. On the upside, the price is facing resistance near the $198 level and the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $225 swing high to the $155 low. The next major resistance is near the $200 level.
The main resistance could be $205. A successful close above the $205 resistance zone could set the pace for another steady increase. The next key resistance is $212. Any more gains might send the price toward the $220 level.
Another Decline In SOL?
If SOL fails to rise above the $200 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $190 zone and the trend line. The first major support is near the $182 level.
A break below the $182 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 $160 support in the near term.
