On the upside, the price is facing resistance near the $142 level. The next major resistance is near the $145 level. The main resistance could be $150.

Pullback in SOL?

If SOL fails to rise above the $142 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $138.50 zone. The first major support is near the $137 level and the trend line.

A break below the $137 level might send the price toward the $132 zone. If there is a close below the $132 support, the price could decline toward the $125 support in the near term.
