It even dived below the $135 level. The recent low was formed at $131 and the price is now consolidating losses with a bearish angle. There was a minor recovery wave above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $173 swing high to the $131 swing low.

The next major resistance is near the $150 level. The main resistance could be $152 and the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $173 swing high to the $131 swing low.
A successful close above the $152 resistance zone could set the pace for another steady increase. The next key resistance is $160. Any more gains might send the price toward the $165 level.
Another Decline in SOL?
