Solana price is in an upward trend that started at the beginning of 2023. The altcoin is consolidating between the 23.6% Fibonacci level at $17.61 and 50% Fibonacci level at $28.25.

There is a key resistance zone between $27.50 and $36, where Solana price consolidated before a decline. SOL’s immediate targets on the upside are the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement at $23.50 and $25.75, a level that has acted as resistance since November 2022.
