On the upside, immediate resistance is near the $24.00 level and the triangle region. The first major resistance is near the $24.00 level. The main resistance is still near the $25.00 zone. A successful close above the $25.00 resistance could set the pace for a larger increase. The next key resistance is near $28.50. Any more gains might send the price toward the $30.00 level.
Are Dips Limited in SOL?
If SOL fails to recover above the $24.00 resistance, it could continue to move down. Initial support on the downside is near the $22.85 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $20.94 swing low to the $24.82 high.
The first major support is near the $22.40 level. If there is a close below the $22.40 support, the price could decline toward the $21.80 support. In the stated case, there is a risk of more downsides toward the $20.50 support in the near term.
