Solana found support at $90 and corrected some losses. SOL price is now 
consolidating below $94 and might struggle to continue higher. SOL price 
started a decent recovery wave above $91 and $92 against the US Dollar. The 
price is now trading below $94 and the 100-hourly simple moving average. There 
is a bearish trend line forming with resistance at $92.90 on the hourly chart 
of the SOL/USD pair (data source from Kraken). The price could continue to 
move up if it clears $92.90 and $94.00. Solana Price Starts Recovery Solana 
price remained stable and started a decent recovery wave from $90, like 
Bitcoin and Ethereum. SOL was able to climb above the $91.50 level. There was 
a move above the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the 
$95.92 swing high to the $89.89 low. However, the bears remained active below 
$94. There is also a bearish trend line forming with resistance at $92.90 on 
the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair. Solana is now trading below $92 and the 
100-hourly simple moving average. On the upside, immediate resistance is near 
the $92.90 level. The next major resistance is near the $93.60 level or the 
61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $95.92 swing high to 
the $89.89 low. The main resistance could be $94. A successful close above the 
$94 resistance zone could set the pace for another steady increase. The next 
key resistance is $96. Any more gains might send the price toward the $98 
level. Another Decline In SOL? If SOL fails to rise above the $92.90 
resistance, it could continue to move down. Initial support on the downside is 
near the $91.30 zone. The first major support is near the $90 level. A break 
below the $90 level might send the price toward the $88 support zone. If there 
is a close below the $88 support, the price could decline toward the $84 zone 
in the near term. Technical Indicators Hourly MACD – The MACD for SOL/USD is 
gaining pace in the bearish zone. Hourly Hours RSI (Relative Strength Index) – 
The RSI for SOL/USD is below the 50 level. Major Support Levels – $91.30 and 
$90.00. Major Resistance Levels – $92.90 and $94.00.
