Solana Price Trims Gains
Solana price started a decent increase after it cleared the $150 resistance, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. SOL climbed above the $152 level to enter a short-term positive zone. There was a move above the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $160 swing high to the $144 low.
However, the bears were active near the $156 resistance. They protected a move above the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $160 swing high to the $144 low.
The price is now moving lower and trading below the $154 level. Solana is now trading near $152 and the 100-hourly simple moving average. There is also a key bullish trend line forming with support at $151 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair.
On the upside, the price is facing resistance near the $155 level. The next major resistance is near the $156 level. The main resistance could be $160. A successful close above the $160 resistance zone could set the pace for another steady increase. The next key resistance is $162. Any more gains might send the price toward the $165 level.
Another Decline in SOL?
If SOL fails to rise above the $155 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $150 zone. The first major support is near the $146 level.
A break below the $146 level might send the price toward the $142 zone. If there is a close below the $142 support, the price could decline toward the $136 support in the near term.
