• After surging above $140, SOL has faced major resistance around $144 and has since failed to cross that hurdle.

• As a result, the altcoin has fallen sharply from these highs in fact, at press time, it was trading at $112.

Solana (SOL) – Will it surge back to $135?

Well, technical indicators appear to suggest that SOL is looking poised for another uptrend. After surging to well over $140 over the last few days, the altcoin failed to clear the crucial resistance zone of $144. 

This weakness has manifested in the price action, with SOL now falling to $112. But we expect bulls to pick it up from here. In fact, SOL is likely to retest its weekly resistance zone of $135 and even surge past that towards $140. 

This will represent an upswing of nearly 20% from its current price. However, if SOL fails to hold the $110 support level, it could fall further towards $101 and eventually $93 in the near term.
