Solana Soars Above $150 – Here’s What Could Extend Gains
Solana's price started this week quite strong, even breaking the $145 resistance and surpassing the $150 barrier, reaching a high of $154, according to CoinMarketCap.
At the time of writing, SOL is trading at around $152, representing about a 4.3% gain over the past 24 hours and 9% over the past week.
The next significant resistance is believed to be near $155. A successful close above this level could pave the way for another steady advance, with the next key resistance near $165. Further gains could potentially push price above $170.
If the cryptocurrency fails to hold above $152, it could lead to a downward correction. Initial downside support is near the $150 level and the next support is near the $147 level.
