The main resistance could be $140. There is also a key bearish trend line forming with resistance at $140 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair. A successful close above the $140 resistance zone could set the pace for another steady increase. The next key resistance is $144. Any more gains might send the price toward the $150 level.
Another Decline In SOL?
If SOL fails to rise above the $136 resistance, it could continue to move down. Initial support on the downside is near the $132 zone. The first major support is near the $130 level.
A break below the $130 level might send the price toward the $122 support zone. If there is a close below the $122 support, the price could decline toward the $115 support in the near term.
