Solana Price Remains Supported

Solana price failed to stay above $90 and started a downside correction, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. SOL dipped below $88 and $87 to enter a short-term bearish zone.

There was a move below the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward wave from the $81.71 swing low to the $90.29 high. The price even tested the $85 support. Besides, there is a bullish trend line forming with support at $85 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair.

Solana is now trading above $85 and the 100-hourly simple moving average. On the upside, the price is facing resistance near the $88 level. The next major resistance is near the $90 level. The main resistance could be $92. A successful close above the $92 resistance zone could set the pace for another steady increase. The next key resistance is $96. Any more gains might send the price toward the $100 level.

More Losses In SOL?

If SOL fails to rise above the $90 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $85 zone, the trend line, and the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the upward wave from the $81.71 swing low to the $90.29 high. The first major support is near the $84 level.

A break below the $84 level might send the price toward the $82 support zone. If there is a close below the $82 support, the price could decline toward the $76.50 support in the near term.
