Solana remained stable above the $175 level. SOL price is now recovering losses and facing hurdles near the $200 and $205 levels.
Solana price formed a support base and started a fresh increase from the $185 level like Bitcoin and Ethereum. There was a decent increase above the $190 and $192 resistance levels.
There was a break above a connecting bearish trend line with resistance at $190 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair. The pair climbed above $195 and tested the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $228 swing high to the $175 low.
However, the price is now facing many hurdles near $200. Solana is now trading above $190 and the 100-hourly simple moving average. On the upside, the price is facing resistance near the $202 level.
The next major resistance is near the $208 level or the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $228 swing high to the $175 low. The main resistance could be $215. A successful close above the $220 resistance level could set the pace for another steady increase. The next key resistance is $235. Any more gains might send the price toward the $250 level.
If SOL fails to rise above the $208 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $195 level. The first major support is near the $188 level.
A break below the $180 level might send the price toward the $175 zone. If there is a close below the $175 support, the price could decline toward the $162 support in the near term.
