Solana Price Starts Downside Correction

Solana price failed to surpass $148 and started a downside correction, beating Bitcoin and Ethereum. SOL dipped below $145 and $144 to enter a short-term bearish zone.

There was a move below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward wave from the $123 swing low to the $147 high. Besides, there was a break below a bullish trend line with support at $144 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair.

Solana is now trading above $135 and the 100-hourly simple moving average. On the upside, the price is facing resistance near the $142 level. The next major resistance is near the $145 level. The main resistance could be $148. A successful close above the $148 resistance zone could set the pace for another steady increase. The next key resistance is $155. Any more gains might send the price toward the $165 level.

More Losses In SOL?

If SOL fails to rise above the $145 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $135 zone and the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward wave from the $123 swing low to the $147 high. The first major support is near the $132 level.

A break below the $132 level might send the price toward the $128 support zone. If there is a close below the $128 support, the price could decline toward the $122 support in the near term.
