Solana (SOL) Breakdown Accelerates At $90, $80 Suddenly Looks Vulnerable

Solana failed to settle above $102 and extended losses. SOL price is now consolidating losses below $95 and might struggle to start a recovery wave.

• SOL price started a fresh decline below $100 and $95 against the US Dollar.
• The price is now trading below $100 and the 100-hourly simple moving average.
• There is a key bearish trend line forming with resistance at $98 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair (data source from Kraken).

Solana price failed to remain stable above $105 and started a fresh decline, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. SOL declined below the $100 and $95 support levels.

The price gained bearish momentum below $92. A low was formed at $89, and the price is now consolidating losses with a bearish angle below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $106 swing high to the $89 low.

Solana is now trading below $95 and the 100-hourly simple moving average. On the upside, immediate resistance is near the $93 level. The next major resistance is near the $97 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $106 swing high to the $89 low. There is also a key bearish trend line forming with resistance at $98 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair.

The main resistance could be $102. A successful close above the $102 resistance zone could set the pace for another steady increase. The next key resistance is $106. Any more gains might send the price toward the $112 level.

If SOL fails to rise above the $98 resistance, it could continue to move down. Initial support on the downside is near the $90 zone. The first major support is near the $85 level.

A break below the $85 level might send the price toward the $82 support zone. If there is a close below the $82 support, the price could decline toward the $74 support in the near term.
