• Solana price hovers around $94 as it plans its next rally.
  • Investors can expect another bounce around the $78 support level before an upswing kickstarts.
  • The next key resistance level for SOL is $133, roughly 70% away from the current price. 
  • A decisive flip of the $78 support level on the three-day chart will invalidate the bullish thesis.

Solana price takes its time

Solana price shot up 78% between December 18 and 24, 2023, breaching the $78 hurdle. Since then, SOL has retested this barrier once on January 22, confirming a successful flip into a support floor. 

Considering the explosive move to the upside, Solana price is likely going to cool off and retest $78 again before allowing sidelined buyers to step in. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the Awesome Oscillator (AO) are also showcasing a cooling-off period, where they’re returning to their respective mean levels. Hence, investors can expect a sweep of the $78 support level, which will signal the start of an uptrend. 

In such a case, Solana price will target a retest of $133, which is the midpoint of the 96% crash witnessed between November 2021 and December 2022. This move would constitute a 70% gain from the $78 support level.

While the signs are bullish for Solana price, investors need to be cautious of a fluke selling pressure spike. In such a case, a decisive breach of the $78 support level, and its flipping into resistance, on the three-day chart will invalidate the bullish thesis.

If this selling momentum sustains, SOL could slide nearly 40% until it finds a stable support level at $47.
