Solana Price Starts Fresh Increase<\/h2>\n

Solana price started a decent increase after it settled above the $85 zone, like Bitcoin<\/a> and Ethereum<\/a>. SOL climbed above the $86 level to enter a short-term positive zone.<\/p>\n

The price even smashed the $88 resistance. A high was formed at $89.95, and the price is now consolidating gains. There was a minor decline below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent upward move from the $83.27 swing low to the $89.95 high.<\/p>\n

Solana is now trading above $87 and the 100-hourly simple moving average. Besides, there is a bullish trend line forming with support at $87.40 on the hourly chart of the SOL\/USD pair.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

On the upside, the price is facing resistance near $89. The next major resistance is near the $90 level. The main resistance could be $92. A successful close above the $92 resistance zone could set the pace for another steady increase. The next key resistance is $100. Any more gains might send the price toward the $102 level.<\/p>\n

Downside Correction In SOL?<\/h2>\n

If SOL fails to rise above the $90 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $87.40 zone. The first major support is near the $85.80 level and the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the recent upward move from the $83.27 swing low to the $89.95 high.<\/p>\n

A break below the $85.80 level might send the price toward the $83.20 support zone. If there is a close below the $82 support, the price could decline toward the $76.50 support in the near term.<\/p>\n
