The next key resistance is near $157 or the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $163.25 swing high to the $145.03 low. Any more gains might send the price toward the $165 level.


More Losses in SOL?


If SOL fails to rally above the $152.50 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $145 level.


The first major support is near the $142 level, below which the price could test $135. If there is a close below the $135 support, the price could decline toward the $120 support in the near term.
