If SOL fails to rise above the $98 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $94 zone. The first major support is near the $92 level and the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent upward move from the $86.54 swing low to the $97.67 high.

A break below the $92 level might send the price toward the $88 support zone. If there is a close below the $88 support, the price could decline toward the $82 support in the near term.
