NEWSBTC
Solana remained stable above the $215 level. SOL price is now
recovering losses and facing hurdles near the $228 and $332 levels.
SOL price started a fresh increase after it tested the $215 zone
against the US Dollar. The price is now trading below $225 and the
100-hourly simple moving average. There was a break above a
connecting bearish trend line with resistance at $222 on the hourly
chart of the SOL/USD pair (data source from Kraken). The pair could
start a fresh increase if the bulls clear the $228 zone. Solana
Price Eyes Upside Break Solana price formed a support base and
started a fresh increase from the $215 level but lagged momentum
like Bitcoin and Ethereum. There was a decent increase above the
$218 and $220 resistance levels. There was a break above a
connecting bearish trend line with resistance at $222 on the hourly
chart of the SOL/USD pair. The pair climbed above $225 and tested
the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $234
swing high to the $215 low. However, the price is now facing many
hurdles near $225. Solana is now trading below $225 and the
100-hourly simple moving average. On the upside, the price is
facing resistance near the $225 level. The next major resistance is
near the $228 level or the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the
downward move from the $234 swing high to the $215 low. The main
resistance could be $230. A successful close above the $230
resistance level could set the pace for another steady increase.
The next key resistance is $235. Any more gains might send the
price toward the $250 level. Another Decline in SOL? If SOL fails
to rise above the $228 resistance, it could start another decline.
Initial support on the downside is near the $220 level. The first
major support is near the $215 level. A break below the $215 level
might send the price toward the $205 zone. If there is a close
below the $205 support, the price could decline toward the $200
support in the near term. Technical Indicators Hourly MACD – The
