Immediate resistance appears at $85 where the bearish trend line sits. The next resistance levels are at $92 and $96.
A break above $96 could open the path toward $105 and $112. However, Solana must first clear the $85 resistance to gain upward momentum.
Support sits at $80 based on Fibonacci retracement levels. A break below this level could push the price toward $75.
Further downside could target $70 if the $75 support fails. The 61.8% Fibonacci extension level at $64 represents a deeper support zone.
Solana attempted recovery above $78 and $82 earlier this week. The price climbed above the 50% Fibonacci retracement level but failed to hold gains near $90.
