Solana (SOL) Crashes Back To $112, A Level That Could Decide Everything

[Ben Graham]

Solana failed to settle above $125 and extended losses. SOL price is now consolidating losses below $120 and might struggle to start a recovery wave.

• SOL price started a fresh decline below $120 and $115 against the US Dollar.
• The price is now trading below $120 and the 100-hourly simple moving average.
• There is a key bearish trend line forming with resistance at $116 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair (data source from Kraken).
• The price could start a recovery wave if the bulls defend $112 or $105.

Solana Price Dips Again

Solana price failed to remain stable above $125 and started a fresh decline, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. SOL declined below the $125 and $122 support levels.

The price gained bearish momentum below $120. A low was formed at $112, and the price is now consolidating losses. The price recovered a few points and climbed toward the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $128 swing high to the $112 low.

Solana is now trading below $120 and the 100-hourly simple moving average. On the upside, immediate resistance is near the $116 level. There is also a key bearish trend line forming with resistance at $116 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair.

The next major resistance is near the $120 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $128 swing high to the $112 low. The main resistance could be $122. A successful close above the $122 resistance zone could set the pace for another steady increase. The next key resistance is $125. Any more gains might send the price toward the $132 level.

Another Drop In SOL?

If SOL fails to rise above the $116 resistance, it could continue to move down. Initial support on the downside is near the $114 zone. The first major support is near the $112 level.

A break below the $112 level might send the price toward the $105 support zone. If there is a close below the $105 support, the price could decline toward the $102 support in the near term.
