Solana Price

On the upside, the price is facing resistance near the $135 level. The next major resistance is near the $138 level. A successful close above the $135 and $138 resistance levels could set the pace for another steady increase. The next key resistance is near $142. Any more gains might send the price toward the $150 level.

Another Decline in SOL?

If SOL fails to rise above the $138 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $130 level and the trend line. The first major support is near the $126 level and the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $120 swing low to the $137 high.

A break below the $126 level might send the price toward $120. If there is a close below the $120 support, the price could decline toward the $110 support in the near term.
