👉 According to NewsBTC Analytics: $SOL Price Breaks $150
Solana price formed a base above the $130 support zone and recently started a fresh increase. There was a decent increase above the $135 and $145 levels.
The price is up nearly 10% and there was a move above the $150 level, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The bulls pushed the price above the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $152.86 swing high to the $137.25 low.
Solana is now trading above $150 and the 100 simple moving average (4 hours). There is also a connecting bullish trend line forming with support at $140 on the 4-hour chart of the SOL/USD pair.
Immediate resistance is near the $156.50 level. The next major resistance is near the $162.50 level or the 1.618 Fib extension level of the downward move from the $152.86 swing high to the $137.25 low. A successful close above the $162.50 resistance could set the pace for another major increase. The next key resistance is near $175. Any more gains might send the price toward the $180 level.
If SOL fails to rally above the $162.50 resistance, it could start a downside correction. Initial support on the downside is near the $150 level.
The first major support is near the $142.00 level, below which the price could test $138.00 and the trend line. If there is a close below the $138.00 support, the price could decline toward the $128.00 support or the 100 simple moving average (4 hours) in the near term.
