SOL climbed above the $135 level to enter a short-term positive zone.<\/p>\n<p>The price even smashed the $140 resistance. The bulls were able to push the price above $142.

The next major resistance is near the $142 level. The main resistance could be $145. A successful close above the $145 resistance zone could set the pace for another steady increase. The next key resistance is $150. Any more gains might send the price toward the $155 level.<\/p>\n<h2>Downside Break In SOL?<\/h2>\n<p>If SOL fails to rise above the $142 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $138 zone, the trend line, and the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the recent upward move from the $136 swing low to the $141 high. The first major support is near the $136 level.<\/p>\n<p>A break below the $136 level might send the price toward the $130 support zone. If there is a close below the $130 support, the price could decline toward the $120 support in the near term.<\/p>\n<p>Technical Indicators<\/p>\n<p>Hourly MACD \u2013 The MACD for SOL\/USD is losing pace in the bullish zone.<\/p>\n<p>Hourly Hours RSI (Relative Strength Index) \u2013 The RSI for SOL\/USD is above the 50 level.<\/p>\n<p>Major Support Levels \u2013 $138 and $136.<\/p>\n<p>Major Resistance Levels \u2013 $140 and $142.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Solana started a fresh increase above the $135 zone.
