Solana Price Eyes Sustained Increase


Solana price formed a support base and started a fresh increase above the $225 level like Bitcoin and Ethereum. There was a decent increase above the $230 and $232 resistance levels.


There was a move above the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $256 swing high to the $221 low. Besides, there was a break above a key bearish trend line with resistance at $240 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair.


Solana is now trading above $240 and the 100-hourly simple moving average. On the upside, the price is facing resistance near the $244 level or the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $256 swing high to the $221 low.


Solana Price


The next major resistance is near the $248 level. The main resistance could be $250. A successful close above the $250 resistance level could set the pace for another steady increase. The next key resistance is $265. Any more gains might send the price toward the $278 level.


Are Dips Supported in SOL?


If SOL fails to rise above the $248 resistance, it could start a downside correction. Initial support on the downside is near the $240 level or the 100-hourly simple moving average. The first major support is near the $232 level.


A break below the $232 level might send the price toward the $230 zone. If there is a close below the $230 support, the price could decline toward the $220 support in the near term.
