Solana Price Trims Gains and Revisit $140

As an analyst, I observed a downtrend in Solana (SOL) prices after our previous attempt to breach the $162 resistance fell short. Subsequently, SOL plunged below the crucial support level of $155, aligning with the bearish sentiments seen in both Bitcoin and Ethereum.

As a researcher, I observed a significant drop in the SOL/USD pair on an hourly chart, following a break below the ascending channel that previously had support at $154. This downward trend took the pair below the $145 mark and even probed the $140 zone. The lowest point reached was $141.29, but currently, the price action is pausing to consolidate the losses it incurred.

Currently, Solana’s price is significantly lower than $150 and has dropped below its 100-hour moving average. On the positive side, there seems to be a barrier for further growth around the $145 mark. This level also aligns with the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level of the decline from the peak at $158 to the trough at $141.

As a researcher, I’ve identified that the upcoming significant barrier lies around the $150 mark or the 50% Fibonacci retracement point of the downward swing from the $158 peak to the $141 trough. Breaking above this resistance at the end of a successful trading day could pave the way for a sustained upward trend, with the next key resistance likely to be found near $155. Any further growth might propel the price towards the $162 level.

More Downsides in SOL?

Should SOL not manage to surpass the $150 barrier, a potential drop might follow. A possible first line of defense on the lower end lies around $142. The primary significant support can be found at approximately $140 level.

As a researcher, I’m sharing my analysis that if the price falls beneath the $140 mark, it might push the value down to around $132. Should the closing price breach the $132 support level, there’s potential for a short-term decline towards the $124 support.
