Solana Price faces significant hurdles
Solana price, like Bitcoin, started falling again and traded below the $95 support zone. There was a clear move below the USD 92 and USD 90 support levels.
Finally, SOL price found support near the $79 zone. A low was formed near $78.96, and the price is now trying to make a recovery wave just like Ethereum. There was a move above the resistance at $84. The price climbed above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $103.40 swing high to the $78.96 low.
Additionally, there was a break above a key bearish trendline with resistance at $85.00 on the 4-hour chart of the SOL/USD pair. It is now trading below $95 and the 100 simple moving average (4 hours).
Immediate resistance is near the $91.20 level. It is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $103.40 swing high to the $78.96 low. The first major resistance is near the $94 level or the hourly 100-SMA.

The main resistance is now near $98. A successful close above the $98 resistance could set the pace for another big move higher. The next major resistance is near USD 112. Any further gains could send the price towards the USD 120 level.
Another drop in the SOL?
If SOL fails to break above the USD 91.20 resistance, it could trigger a fresh decline. The initial downside support is near the $84.80 level.
The first major support is near the USD 80.00 level, below which the price could test USD 75.00. If there is a close below the USD 68 support, the price could fall towards the USD 72.50 support in the near term.
