Solana Price Starts Recovery

Solana price remained stable and started a decent recovery wave from $90, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. SOL was able to climb above the $91.50 level.

There was a move above the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $95.92 swing high to the $89.89 low. However, the bears remained active below $94. There is also a bearish trend line forming with resistance at $92.90 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair.

Solana is now trading below $92 and the 100-hourly simple moving average. On the upside, immediate resistance is near the $92.90 level. The next major resistance is near the $93.60 level or the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $95.92 swing high to the $89.89 low.

The main resistance could be $94. A successful close above the $94 resistance zone could set the pace for another steady increase. The next key resistance is $96. Any more gains might send the price toward the $98 level.

Another Decline In SOL?

If SOL fails to rise above the $92.90 resistance, it could continue to move down. Initial support on the downside is near the $91.30 zone. The first major support is near the $90 level.

A break below the $90 level might send the price toward the $88 support zone. If there is a close below the $88 support, the price could decline toward the $84 zone in the near term.
