Solana remained stable above the $215 level. SOL price is now recovering losses and facing hurdles near the $228 and $332 levels.


  • SOL price started a fresh increase after it tested the $215 zone against the US Dollar.

  • The price is now trading below $225 and the 100-hourly simple moving average.

  • There was a break above a connecting bearish trend line with resistance at $222 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 $228 zone.



Solana Price Eyes Upside Break


Solana price formed a support base and started a fresh increase from the $215 level but lagged momentum like Bitcoin and Ethereum. There was a decent increase above the $218 and $220 resistance levels.


There was a break above a connecting bearish trend line with resistance at $222 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair. The pair climbed above $225 and tested the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $234 swing high to the $215 low.


However, the price is now facing many hurdles near $225. Solana is now trading below $225 and the 100-hourly simple moving average. On the upside, the price is facing resistance near the $225 level.


Solana Price


The next major resistance is near the $228 level or the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $234 swing high to the $215 low. The main resistance could be $230. A successful close above the $230 resistance level could set the pace for another steady increase. The next key resistance is $235. Any more gains might send the price toward the $250 level.



Another Decline in SOL?


If SOL fails to rise above the $228 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $220 level. The first major support is near the $215 level.


A break below the $215 level might send the price toward the $205 zone. If there is a close below the $205 support, the price could decline toward the $200 support in the near term.
