On the upside, the price is facing resistance near the $144 level. It is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $152 swing high to the $135.39 low. The next major resistance is near the $146 level. The main resistance could be $150.

A successful close above the $150 and $152 resistance levels could set the pace for another steady increase. The next key resistance is near $162. Any more gains might send the price toward the $175 level.

If SOL fails to rise above the $144 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $138 level. The first major support is near the $134 level.

A break below the $135 level might send the price toward the $132 zone. If there is a close below the $132 support, the price could decline toward the $120 support in the near term.
