Solana Price Regains Traction

Solana price corrected gains from the $144 zone but remained stable above the $130 zone, beating Bitcoin and Ethereum. SOL formed a low near $132 and started a fresh upward move.

SOL price started a fresh upward move above the $136 and $138 levels against the US Dollar. The price is now trading above $138 and the 100-hourly simple moving average. There was a break above a bearish trend line with resistance at $137 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair.

The price climbed above the $135 level to enter a short-term positive zone. It surpassed the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $143 swing high to the $132 low.

Solana is now consolidating above $138 and the 100-hourly simple moving average. On the upside, the price is facing resistance near $140 and the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $143 swing high to the $132 low. The next major resistance is near the $142 level.

The main resistance could be $145. A successful close above the $145 resistance zone could set the pace for another steady increase. The next key resistance is $150. Any more gains might send the price toward the $155 level.

Another Decline In SOL?

If SOL fails to rise above the $140 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $138 zone. The first major support is near the $135 level.

A break below the $135 level might send the price toward the $132 support zone. If there is a close below the $132 support, the price could decline toward the $124 support in the near term.
