The Solana price action has seen previous bearish momentum calm down over the past days. Once SOL/USD declined by around 20 percent, support was found at $133 on the 7th of January.

The following reaction higher set resistance at $148, which is yet to be reached again as lower highs were set since. On Monday, SOL/USD moved to retest the $133 support again, establishing slightly lower low, before returning higher.

Yesterday, the Solana price action peaked at $143, with another quick spike higher seen today. Since only a slightly higher local high was set, we assume the market is ready to reverse to the downside again.
