Solana (SOL) Consolidates Above $230 – Key Levels to Watch for Next Breakout
Solana has managed to hold on to recent gains after a sharp rally, with bulls defending the $230 support zone. Analysts now eye resistance levels at $238 and $250 as potential triggers for another upward surge.
SOL Holds Higher Ground
SOL rallied strongly above $220, pushing through $235 and even breaking past $242 before topping out at $250 earlier this week. The move placed Solana ahead of Bitcoin and Ethereum in short-term performance. After hitting $250, the price corrected lower, retracing below $240 and the 100-hour simple moving average (SMA). Still, bulls stepped in above $230, preventing deeper losses. At press time, SOL trades just under $240, consolidating gains and preparing for its next move.
