Solana is now trading above $142 and the 100-hourly simple moving average. There is also a key bullish trend line forming with support at $142 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair.

On the upside, the price is facing resistance near the $148 level. The next major resistance is near the $150 level. The main resistance could be $155. A successful close above the $155 resistance zone could set the pace for another steady increase. The next key resistance is $160. Any more gains might send the price toward the $165 level.

Another Decline in SOL?

If SOL fails to rise above the $150 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $142 zone. The first major support is near the $136 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $126 swing low to the $147 swing high.

A break below the $136 level might send the price toward the $130 zone. If there is a close below the $130 support, the price could decline toward the $125 support in the near term.
