Solana Price Starts Recovery

Solana price remained stable and started a decent recovery wave from $82.50, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. $SOL was able to climb above the $85 level.

There was a move above the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $87.74 swing high to the $82.74 low. Besides, there is a bullish trend line forming with support at $85.00 on the hourly chart of the $SOL/USD pair.

However, the bears are active near $85.80 and the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $87.74 swing high to the $82.74 low. Solana is now trading above $85 and the 100-hourly simple moving average.

On the upside, immediate resistance is near the $85.80 level. The next major resistance is near the $86.50 level. The main resistance could be $88. A successful close above the $88 resistance zone could set the pace for another steady increase. The next key resistance is $95. Any more gains might send the price toward the $102 level.

Another Decline In $SOL?

If $SOL fails to rise above the $85.80 resistance, it could continue to move down. Initial support on the downside is near the $85 zone. The first major support is near the $84 level.

A break below the $84 level might send the price toward the $82.50 support zone. If there is a close below the $82.50 support, the price could decline toward the $77 zone in the near term.
