Solana Price Fails To Test $200

Solana price remained in a positive zone and extended gains, beating Bitcoin and Ethereum. It traded above the $180 and $185 resistance levels. Finally, it tested the $192 zone and struggled to reach $200.

A high was formed near $193.86 and the price started a downside correction. There was a move below the $190 and $188 support levels. The price dipped below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $165 swing low to the $193 high.

Besides, there was a break below a key bullish trend line with support at $187 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair. Solana is now trading below $185 and the 100-hourly simple moving average.

The bulls are now active near the $180 support and the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $165 swing low to the $193 high. On the upside, the price is facing resistance near the $185 level. The next major resistance is near the $188 level.

More Losses in SOL?
