Solana (SOL) Plunges 20%—Key Support Levels Now in Focus

Source Newsbtc

Solana started a fresh decline from the $180 zone. SOL price is down over 20% and might struggle to recover above the $150 resistance.

SOL price started a fresh decline below the $162 and $150 levels against the US Dollar.
The price is now trading below $150 and the 100-hourly simple moving average.
There was a break below a connecting bullish trend line with support at $148 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair (data source from Kraken).
The pair could start a fresh increase if the bulls clear the $150 zone.

Solana Price Dips Heavily

Solana price struggled to clear the $180 resistance and started a fresh decline, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. SOL declined below the $165 and $155 support levels.

It even dived below the $150 level. There was a break below a connecting bullish trend line with support at $148 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair. The recent low was formed at $132 and the price is now consolidating losses with a bearish angle.

Solana is now trading below $140 and the 100-hourly simple moving average. On the upside, the price is facing resistance near the $140 level. The next major resistance is near the $144 level or the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $180 swing high to the $132 swing low.

The main resistance could be $156 and the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $180 swing high to the $132 swing low. A successful close above the $156 resistance zone could set the pace for another steady increase. The next key resistance is $165. Any more gains might send the price toward the $180 level.

More Losses in SOL?

If SOL fails to rise above the $148 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $132 zone. The first major support is near the $125 level.

A break below the $125 level might send the price toward the $120 zone. If there is a close below the $120 support, the price could decline toward the $102 support in the near term.

Bitcoin briefly loses 2025 gains as crypto plunges over the weekend.Bitcoin experienced a sharp decline this weekend, briefly erasing its 2025 gains and dipping below its year-opening value of $93,507. The cryptocurrency fell to a low of $93,029 on Sunday, representing a 25% drop from its all-time high in October. Although it has rebounded slightly to around $94,209, the pressures on the market remain significant. The downturn occurred despite the reopening of the U.S. government on Thursday, which many had hoped would provide essential support for crypto markets. This year initially appeared promising for cryptocurrencies, particularly after the inauguration of President Donald Trump, who has established the most pro-crypto administration thus far. However, ongoing political tensions—including Trump's tariff strategies and the recent government shutdown, lasting a historic 43 days—have contributed to several rapid price pullbacks for Bitcoin throughout the year. Market dynamics are also being influenced by Bitcoin whales—investors holding large amounts of Bitcoin—who have been offloading portions of their assets, consequently stalling price rallies even as positive regulatory developments emerge. Despite these sell-offs, analysts from Glassnode argue that this behavior aligns with typical patterns seen among long-term investors during the concluding stages of bull markets, suggesting it is not indicative of a mass exodus. Notably, Bitcoin is not alone in its struggles, as Ethereum and Solana have also recorded declines of 7.95% and 28.3%, respectively, since the start of the year, while numerous altcoins have faced even steeper losses. Looking ahead, questions linger regarding the viability of the four-year cycle thesis, particularly given the increasing institutional support and regulatory frameworks now in place in the crypto landscape. Matt Hougan, chief investment officer at Bitwise, remains optimistic, suggesting a potential Bitcoin resurgence in 2026 driven by the “debasement trade” thesis and a broader trend toward increased adoption of stablecoins, tokenization, and decentralized finance. Hougan emphasized the soundness of the underlying fundamentals, pointing to a positive outlook for the sector in the longer term.
