🚀 According to NewsBTC: $SOL Price Starts Fresh Surge

Solana price formed a support base near the $138 level and started a fresh increase. SOL outperformed Bitcoin and Ethereum and moved into a positive zone above the $150 level.

There was a break above a key bearish trend line with resistance at $148 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair. The pair even $155 resistance and spiked above $162. A new weekly high was formed at $163.76, and the price is now consolidating gains.

It is holding the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $141 swing low to the $164 high. Solana is now trading above $160 and the 100 simple moving average (4 hours).

Immediate resistance is near the $165 level. The next major resistance is near the $172 level. A successful close above the $172 resistance could set the pace for another major increase. The next key resistance is near $180. Any more gains might send the price toward the $188 level.

If SOL fails to rally above the $160 resistance, it could start a downside correction. Initial support on the downside is near the $158 level. The first major support is near the $152 level.

The 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $141 swing low to the $164 high is also at $152, below which the price could test $150. If there is a close below the $150 support, the price could decline toward the $138 support in the near term.
