Solana Price Gains Momentum

Solana price started a decent increase after it found support near the $175 zone, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. SOL climbed above the $180 level to enter a short-term positive zone.

The price even smashed the $185 resistance. The bulls were able to push the price above the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $206 swing high to the $175 low. There is also a key bullish trend line forming with support at $190 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair.

Solana is now trading above $190 and the 100-hourly simple moving average. On the upside, the price is facing resistance near the $195 level. It is close to the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $206 swing high to the $175 low.

The next major resistance is near the $198 level. The main resistance could be $200. A successful close above the $200 resistance zone could set the pace for another steady increase. The next key resistance is $212. Any more gains might send the price toward the $225 level.

Are Downsides Limited In SOL?

If SOL fails to rise above the $200 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $190 zone and the trend line. The first major support is near the $188 level.

A break below the $188 level might send the price toward the $184 support zone. If there is a close below the $184 support, the price could decline toward the $175 support in the near term.
