Solana’s Rollercoaster: Will Bulls Save the Day or Cry? 🎢

Solana, that capricious child of the crypto world, has begun a tentative recovery above the $120 resistance zone. Yet, like a weary traveler, it now lingers in consolidation, its eyes nervously darting toward the formidable $132 resistance.

  • SOL, in its infinite wisdom, decided to take a nosedive below the $150 and $140 levels against the ever-watchful US Dollar.
  • Now, it sulks below $130, trailing behind the 100-hourly simple moving average like a reluctant student.
  • A short-term rising channel, with support at $124, has formed on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair (data courtesy of Kraken).
  • Should the bulls muster the courage to breach the $132 zone, a fresh increase might just be on the horizon.

Solana’s price, much like a stubborn mule, refused to clear the $155 resistance and instead embarked on a fresh decline, following in the footsteps of Bitcoin and Ethereum. It tumbled below the $140 and $132 support levels, even plunging below the $120 mark. The recent low was a pitiful $114, though the price has since clawed back some dignity, climbing above $120 and $122. It even managed to surpass the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $151 swing high to the $114 swing low.

Currently, Solana trades below $130 and the 100-hourly simple moving average. A short-term rising channel, with support at $124, has formed on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair. On the upside, resistance looms near $128, with the next major hurdle at $130. The true test lies at $132, the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $151 swing high to the $114 swing low.

A triumphant close above the $132 resistance could pave the way for a steady increase, with the next key resistance at $140. Further gains might propel the price toward the $150 level, though such optimism feels almost comical.

Should SOL fail to conquer the $132 resistance, another decline could be in the cards. Initial support lies near $124, with the first major support at $120. A break below $120 might send the price tumbling toward $114, and a close below that could see it plummet to $100, a level that feels almost mythical at this point.
