Solana started a fresh increase from the $83.50 zone. SOL price is now 
consolidating and might aim for more gains above the $85.50 zone. SOL price 
started a fresh upward move above the $83 and $84 levels against the US 
Dollar. The price is now trading above $84 and the 100-hourly simple moving 
average. There is a bullish trend line forming with support at $83.80 on the 
hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair (data source from Kraken). The pair could 
extend gains if it clears the $85.50 resistance zone. Solana Price Eyes Key 
Upside Break Solana price corrected gains from the $85.50 zone but remained 
stable above the $83 zone, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. SOL formed a low near 
$83.20 and started a fresh upward move. The price climbed above the $84 level 
to enter a short-term positive zone. It surpassed the 50% Fib retracement 
level of the downward move from the $85.85 swing high to the $83.27 low. 
Besides, there is a bullish trend line forming with support at $84.00 on the 
hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair. Solana is now trading above $84 and the 
100-hourly simple moving average. On the upside, the price is facing 
resistance near $85.20 and the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the downward 
move from the $85.85 swing high to the $83.27 low. The next major resistance 
is near the $85.50 level. The main resistance could be $88. A successful close 
above the $88 resistance zone could set the pace for another steady increase. 
The next key resistance is $90. Any more gains might send the price toward the 
$95 level. Another Drop In SOL? If SOL fails to rise above the $85.50 
resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is 
near the $83.80 zone and the trend line. The first major support is near the 
$82.50 level. A break below the $82.50 level might send the price toward the 
$80 support zone. If there is a close below the $78 support, the price could 
decline toward the $72 support in the near term. Technical Indicators Hourly

A crypto market analyst has shared the key levels to watch as Bitcoin (BTC) 
confirms a key level as support for the first time in months, opening the door 
to a continuation of its April recovery rally. Related Reading: This Signal 
Has Predicted Every Bitcoin Bottom, Here’s What It’s Saying Now Bitcoin EMA 
Reclaim Signals More Upside Potential After closing the week above a crucial 
level, Bitcoin jumped 2.2% to break above the $80,000 resistance for the first 
time since January. The flagship crypto had been trading between $74,000 and 
$79,000 for the past few weeks, failing to reclaim the range’s upper boundary 
despite multiple attempts. On Sunday, BTC closed above the $78,000 mark for 
the second consecutive week, confirming its 21-week Exponential Moving Average 
(EMA) as support. Previously, analyst Rekt Capital highlighted the 21-week and 
50-week EMAs as two key levels for the cryptocurrency’s ongoing rally, 
explaining that these moving averages tend to act as support during bull 
markets and as strong resistance during bear markets. In a Monday analysis, 
the market observer noted that these levels “didn&#8217;t flip into a picture- 
perfect resistance” this time despite losing them as support after its pre- 
bearish crossover at the start of the year. Nonetheless, their divergence 
created a “general supply area” rather than the “general demand area” 
configuration, typically seen during bull markets. Now, “BTC has Weekly Closed 
above the EMA, performed a very volatile retest of it, and Weekly Closed above 
it again.” As a result, Bitcoin is positioned for upside, the analyst 
affirmed, adding that it has the price strength confirmation after last week’s 
close, but it will need continued stability in the absence of a follow-through 
move higher. If trend continuation comes, the analyst suggested that a surge 
deeper into the supply zone is likely, with the 50-week EMA, currently around 
the $86,000-$87,000 area, as the ultimate stop on any upside wick. “Generally, 
though, anything within this supply area is where the price should be 
rejecting and failing to rally higher,” he warned. BTC At Trend Continuation 
Or Rally Ceiling? As Bitcoin attempts to reclaim the $80,000 level, Rekt 
Capital affirmed that the $82,500 region “doesn’t have a defined role.” 
Notably, this crucial horizontal area has served as strong support and marks 
the base of a macro triangle formation that was lost during the February price 
crash. “The first time price reached it, we produced a decent rebound into new 
All Time Highs. The next time the price tagged the same level, we produced a 
much lesser rally, a sign that the support there was already weakening. Now, 
$82,500 doesn’t have a defined role. But we may be defining it as we speak,” 
the analyst stated. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Expansion To $97,000 Is 
Only Being Blocked By One Pesky Retest He explained that a rejection without 
breaking beyond this resistance would make this the price ceiling, forcing a 
retest of BTC’s old All-Time Highs (ATH) area between $69,000 and $74,000, as 
we are just halfway through the bear market. In addition, Bitcoin has not been 
able to reclaim a macro triangle during this part of the cycle, once the price 
breaks down. Rekt Capital pointed out that to invalidate the Four-Year Cycle 
thesis and call the end of the bear market, BTC would need to break back above 
the macro triangle base on the monthly timeframe and above its macro 
downtrend, located above the $96,000 area. Featured Image from Unsplash.com,
