If SOL fails to rise above the $152 resistance, it could start a downside correction. Initial support on the downside is near the $150 level. The first major support is near the $147 level and the trend line.

A break below the $147 level might send the price toward $143 or the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $134 swing low to the $152 high. If there is a close below the $143 support, the price could decline toward the $138 support in the near term.
