Solana Price Faces Resistance

A low was formed at $122.64 and the price recently started a consolidation phase. There was a minor increase above the $125 level. The price tested the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $140 swing high to the $122 low.
Solana is now trading below $126 and the 100-hourly simple moving average. There is also a key rising channel forming with support at $124 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair.
On the upside, the price is facing resistance near the $126 level. The next major resistance is near the $128 level. The main resistance could be $132 or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $140 swing high to the $122 low.
A successful close above the $132 resistance zone could set the pace for another steady increase. The next key resistance is $136. Any more gains might send the price toward the $142 level.
Another Decline in SOL?
If SOL fails to rise above the $128 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $124 zone. The first major support is near the $122 level.
A break below the $122 level might send the price toward the $115 zone. If there is a close below the $115 support, the price could decline toward the $102 support in the near term.
