Solana Price Corrects Gains

Solana price formed a base above the $155 support and started a fresh increase, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. SOL gained pace for a move above the $160 and $165 resistance levels.

However, the bears were active below the $185 resistance zone. A high was formed at $184.75 and the price corrected some gains. The price dipped below $180 and $178. The price dipped below the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $166 swing low to the $185 high.

However, the bulls are active above the $172 level and the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $166 swing low to the $185 high. Solana is now trading near $175 and the 100-hourly simple moving average. There is also a short-term declining channel or a bullish flag forming with support at $172 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair.

Solana Price

On the upside, the price is facing resistance near the $178 level. The next major resistance is near the $180 level. The main resistance could be $185. A successful close above the $185 resistance zone could set the pace for another steady increase. The next key resistance is $192. Any more gains might send the price toward the $200 level.

Downside Correction in SOL?

If SOL fails to rise above the $180 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $172 zone. The first major support is near the $170 level.

A break below the $170 level might send the price toward the $162 zone. If there is a close below the $162 support, the price could decline toward the $150 support in the near term.
