Solana Price Faces Hurdles
Solana price struggled to clear the $180 resistance and started a fresh decline, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. SOL declined below the $162 and $150 support levels.
It even dived below the $140 level. The recent low was formed at $132 before the price recovered some losses. It climbed above the $140 and $142 levels. The price surpassed the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $180 swing high to the $132 swing low.
However, the bears were active near $152 and pushed the price lower. There was a break below a short-term rising channel with support at $144 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair.
Solana is now trading below $145 and the 100-hourly simple moving average. On the upside, the price is facing resistance near the $145 level. The next major resistance is near the $148 level. The main resistance could be $155 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 $155 resistance zone could set the pace for another steady increase. The next key resistance is $162. Any more gains might send the price toward the $175 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 $136 zone. The first major support is near the $132 level.
A break below the $132 level might send the price toward the $125 zone. If there is a close below the $125 support, the price could decline toward the $120 support in the near term.
