  • The price is now trading above $125 and the 100-hourly simple moving average.

Solana Price Faces Resistance

Solana price remained stable and started a decent recovery wave from $117, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. SOL was able to climb above the $120 level.

There was a move above the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $134 swing high to the $117 low. The bulls even pushed the price above $125. However, the bears remained active near $127. There is also a key bearish trend line forming with resistance at $127 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair.

Solana is now trading above $125 and the 100-hourly simple moving average. On the upside, immediate resistance is near the $127 level, and the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $134 swing high to the $117 low.

Solana Price

The next major resistance is near the $130 level. The main resistance could be $135. A successful close above the $135 resistance zone could set the pace for another steady increase. The next key resistance is $144. Any more gains might send the price toward the $150 level.

Another Decline In SOL?

If SOL fails to rise above the $130 resistance, it could continue to move down. Initial support on the downside is near the $125 zone. The first major support is near the $122 level.

A break below the $122 level might send the price toward the $117 support zone. If there is a close below the $117 support, the price could decline toward the $108 zone in the near term.
