Solana price returns to $132
Solana price started a up-to-date decline from the resistance at $162, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. SOL fell below the $155 and $150 support levels. It even dropped below $142.
However, bulls were lively above the support at $132. The bottom was formed at $133.17 and the price is currently consolidating losses. There has been a move above the $135 level. The price has risen above the 23.6% Fib retracement level resulting from the recent decline from a high of $1,482 to a low of $133.
There was also a break above the short-term bearish trend line with resistance at $136 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair. Solana is currently trading below $142 and the 100-hour elementary moving average.
On the other hand, the price is facing resistance near the $140 level. The next major resistance is near the $142 level. It is close to the 61.8% Fib retracement level formed during the recent decline from a high of $1,482 to a low of $133. The main resistance may be at $148.
A successful close above the $148 and $150 resistance levels could set the pace for another sustained rally. The next key resistance is around $155. Any further gains could push the price towards the $162 level.
More flaws in SOL?
If SOL fails to break above the resistance at $140, another decline could begin. Initial downside support is near the $135 level. The first major support is located near the $132 level.
A break below the $132 level could push the price towards the $120 zone. If a close occurs below the $120 support, the price could drop towards the $112 support in the near future.
