Solana Price Reclaims $250

There was a break above a key bearish trend line with resistance at $245 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair. The pair even cleared the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $272 swing high to the $230 low.

Solana is now trading above $250 and the 100-hourly simple moving average. On the upside, the price is facing resistance near the $262 level or the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $272 swing high to the $230 low.

The next major resistance is near the $272 level. The main resistance could be $280. A successful close above the $280 resistance zone could set the pace for another steady increase. The next key resistance is $292. Any more gains might send the price toward the $300 level.

Another Decline in SOL?
