A successful close above the $220 resistance zone could set the pace for another steady increase. The next key resistance is $225. Any more gains might send the price toward the $232 level.
Downside Correction In SOL?
If SOL fails to rise above the $212 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $205 zone. The first major support is near the $202 level.
A break below the $202 level might send the price toward the $195 support zone and the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $177 swing low to the $213 high. If there is a close below the $195 support, the price could decline toward the $188 support in the near term.
