Solana Price Eyes More Upsides

There was a break above a key bearish trend line with resistance at $144 on the 4-hour chart of the SOL/USD pair. The pair even cleared the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward wave from the $154.40 swing high to the $138.00 low.

The next major resistance is near the $155 level. A successful close above the $155 resistance could set the pace for another major increase. The next key resistance is near $162. Any more gains might send the price toward the $175 level.
Another Decline in SOL?

The first major support is near the $142 level, below which the price could test $138. If there is a close below the $138 support, the price could decline toward the $125 support in the near term.
