Solana (SOL) Loses Momentum—Could Sellers Take Control Again?

[Ben Graham]

Solana started a recovery wave above the $126 zone. SOL price is now consolidating and faces hurdles near the $132 zone.

• SOL price started a decent recovery wave above $126 and $128 against the US Dollar.
• The price is now trading below $130 and the 100-hourly simple moving average.
• There is a key bearish trend line forming with resistance at $132 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair (data source from Kraken).
• The price could continue to move up if it clears $130 and $132.

Solana Price Faces Resistance

Solana price remained stable and started a decent recovery wave from $124, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. SOL was able to climb above the $126 level.

There was a move above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $136 swing high to the $124 low. The bulls even pushed the price above $130. However, the bears remained active near $130. There is also a key bearish trend line forming with resistance at $132 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair

Solana is now trading below $130 and the 100-hourly simple moving average. On the upside, immediate resistance is near the $130 level, the 100-hourly simple moving average, and the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $136 swing high to the $124 low.

The next major resistance is near the $132 level. The main resistance could be $135. A successful close above the $135 resistance zone could set the pace for another steady increase. The next key resistance is $144. Any more gains might send the price toward the $150 level.

Another Decline In SOL?

If SOL fails to rise above the $132 resistance, it could continue to move down. Initial support on the downside is near the $126 zone. The first major support is near the $124 level.

A break below the $124 level might send the price toward the $116 support zone. If there is a close below the $116 support, the price could decline toward the $108 zone in the near term.
