The bears even pushed the price below $220 and the 100-hourly simple moving average. A low was formed at $207 and the price is now consolidating losses below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $254 swing high to the $207 low.

If there is a recovery wave, the price could face resistance near the $215 level. The next major resistance is near the $220 level or the trend line. The main resistance could be $230 or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $254 swing high to the $207 low.

A successful close above the $230 resistance zone could set the pace for another steady increase. The next key resistance is $242. Any more gains might send the price toward the $250 level.

If SOL fails to rise above the $222 resistance, it could continue to move down. Initial support on the downside is near the $207 zone. The first major support is near the $202 level.

A break below the $202 level might send the price toward the $200 support zone. If there is a close below the $200 support, the price could decline toward the $184 support in the near term.
