The price even smashed the $90 resistance. The bulls were able to push the price above $92. A high was formed at $94.10, 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 $82.50 swing low to the $94.10 high.

Solana is now trading above $90 and the 100-hourly simple moving average. There is also a bullish trend line forming with support at $89 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair.

On the upside, the price is facing resistance near $92. The next major resistance is near the $95 level. The main resistance could be $100. A successful close above the $100 resistance zone could set the pace for another steady increase. The next key resistance is $108. Any more gains might send the price toward the $112 level.

If SOL fails to rise above the $92 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $90 zone. The first major support is near the $88.50 level and the trend line or the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent upward move from the $82.50 swing low to the $94.10 high.

A break below the $88.50 level might send the price toward the $84 support zone. If there is a close below the $84 support, the price could decline toward the $78 support in the near term.
