Solana Price Regains Traction

Solana price extended its increase above the $155 resistance like Bitcoin and Ethereum. SOL even climbed above $160 before the bears appeared. A high was formed at $162 and the price started a downside correction.

There was a move below the $160 and $158 levels. However, the bulls were active near the $155 support zone. A low is formed at $155 and the price is now consolidating losses below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $162 swing high to the $155 low.

Solana is now trading near $155 and the 100-hourly simple moving average. There is also a key rising channel forming with support at $155 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair.

On the upside, the price is facing resistance near the $158 level. The next major resistance is near the $160 level. It is close to the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $162 swing high to the $155 low. The main resistance could be $162.

A successful close above the $160 and $162 resistance levels could set the pace for another steady increase. The next key resistance is near $175. Any more gains might send the price toward the $180 level.

More Downsides in SOL?

If SOL fails to rise above the $158 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $155 level. The first major support is near the $154 level.

A break below the $154 level might send the price toward the $149 zone. If there is a close below the $149 support, the price could decline toward the $142 support in the near term.
