SOL declined below the $138 and $135 support levels.<\/p>\n<p>The price gained bearish momentum below $132. A low was formed at $124, and the price is now consolidating losses. The price recovered a few points and climbed above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $143 swing high to the $124 low.<\/p>\n<p>Solana is now trading below $135 and the 100-hourly simple moving average. On the upside, immediate resistance is near the $134 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $143 swing high to the $124 low.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-877380\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Solana_7f46d1.png?resize=1024%2C488\" alt=\"Solana Price \" width=\"1024\" height=\"488\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The next major resistance is near the $136 level. The main resistance could be $138. There is also a key bearish trend line forming with resistance at $138 on the hourly chart of the SOL\/USD pair. A successful close above the $138 resistance zone could set the pace for another steady increase. The next key resistance is $144. Any more gains might send the price toward the $150 level.<\/p>\n<h2>Another Decline In SOL?<\/h2>\n<p>If SOL fails to rise above the $133 resistance, it could continue to move down. Initial support on the downside is near the $129 zone. The first major support is near the $125 level.<\/p>\n<p>A break below the $125 level might send the price toward the $120 support zone. If there is a close below the $120 support, the price could decline toward the $112 support in the near term.<\/p>\n<p>Technical Indicators<\/p>\n<p>Hourly MACD \u2013 The MACD for SOL\/USD is losing pace in the bearish zone.<\/p>\n<p>Hourly Hours RSI (Relative Strength Index) \u2013 The RSI for SOL\/USD is above the 50 level.<\/p>\n<p>Major Support Levels \u2013 $129 and $125.<\/p>\n<p>Major Resistance Levels \u2013 $133 and $138.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Solana failed to settle above $140 and nosedived.
