Solana Price Dips Again

Solana price extended gains above $200 and $202, like Bitcoin and Ethereum . SOL even surpassed $210 before the bears appeared. A high was formed near $208 and the price dropped.

There was a move below $200 and $182. A low was formed at $174, and the price recently attempted a minor recovery wave. It climbed above the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $208 swing high to the $174 low.

However, the bears remained active below $195. They protected the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $208 swing high to the $174 low. SOL is again moving below $190. Besides, there was a break below a key rising channel with support at $188 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair.

The main resistance could be $200. A successful close above the $200 resistance zone could set the pace for another steady increase. The next key resistance is $208. Any more gains might send the price toward the $215 level.

Downside Continuation In SOL?

If SOL fails to rise above the $195 resistance, it could continue to move down. Initial support on the downside is near the $182 zone. The first major support is near the $175 level.

A break below the $175 level might send the price toward the $165 support zone. If there is a close below the $165 support, the price could decline toward the $150 support in the near term.
