- The price of SOL has initiated a pronounced decrease, slipping under both the $100 and $95 barriers against the US Dollar.
- Presently, it is trading below the crucial $100 level and the 100-hour simple moving average, indicating a bearish trend.
- On the hourly chart for the SOL/USD pair, a significant downward trend line has formed, demonstrating resistance at around $98.
- Should the bulls manage to defend the $90 or $85 levels, there may be a chance for a recovery wave to emerge.
Further Decline for Solana Prices
After struggling to maintain stability above $105, Solana's value has entered a new phase of decline, mirroring the trends observed in Bitcoin and Ethereum. Following this pattern, SOL has dropped below both the $100 and $95 support levels.
It has gathered bearish momentum beneath the $92 mark, creating a low of $89. Currently, the price is consolidating its losses while maintaining a bearish outlook below the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level, which tracks the downward movement from the recent high of $106 to the low of $89.
As it stands, Solana is trading below the $95 level and the 100-hourly simple moving average. In terms of immediate resistance, there is a barrier near the $93 level, with the next significant resistance point located around $97, corresponding to the 50% Fibonacci retracement of the decline that started from the $106 peak down to the recent low of $89. Additionally, the aforementioned bearish trend line presents further resistance at $98 on the hourly chart for the SOL/USD pair.
The primary resistance to watch remains at the $102 mark. A successful breach above this resistance could pave the way for a more consistent upward trajectory, potentially leading to the next key resistance at $106. If the current trend continues favorably, prices might even reach towards $112.
Are Further Losses Ahead for SOL?
However, if SOL fails to surpass the $98 resistance level, it could continue its downward movement. Initial support is situated around the $90 area, with a more substantial support level forming near $85.
Should the price break below $85, it may bring the SOL value down towards the $82 support zone. A closure beneath this level could see the price decline further, possibly approaching the $74 support level in the near future.
