Solana Price Reclaims $200

Solana price formed a base above $175 and started a decent upward move, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. SOL was able to climb above the $180 and $185 resistance levels.

The bulls pushed it above the $188 resistance and then $200. A high was formed at $206 and the price is now consolidating gains near the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $186 swing high to the $206 low.

Solana is now trading above $195 and the 100-hourly simple moving average. There is also a connecting bullish trend line forming with support at $196 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair. On the upside, the price is facing resistance near the $205 level.

Solana Price

The next major resistance is near the $212 level. The main resistance could be $220. A successful close above the $220 resistance zone could set the pace for another steady increase. The next key resistance is $232. Any more gains might send the price toward the $245 level.

Another Decline in SOL?

If SOL fails to rise above the $205 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $196 zone and the trend line. The first major support is near the $190 level or the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $186 swing high to the $206 low.

A break below the $190 level might send the price toward the $185 zone. If there is a close below the $185 support, the price could decline toward the $172 support in the near term.

Silver breaks $64 as precious metals rebound — can gold hold the $4,280 line into the Fed decision?Silver has climbed back above $64 an ounce for the first time this week, leading a broad rebound across precious metals hours before the Federal Reserve delivers what is expected to be its first rate hike since 2023. Spot silver was last at $64.64, up 1.49% on the day, while gold reclaimed $4,300 and platinum and palladium both advanced. The question now is whether the bounce is a genuine turn — or a pause before the Fed's dot plot decides the next move.
