Downside Correction In SOL?

If SOL fails to rise above the $88 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $83.75 zone. The first major support is near the $82.70 level and the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent upward move from the $78.38 swing low to the $87.04 high.

A break below the $82.70 level might send the price toward the $80 support zone. If there is a close below the $80 support, the price could decline toward the $75 support in the near term.
