Another Drop In SOL?
If SOL fails to rise above the $237 resistance, it could continue to move down. Initial support on the downside is near the $227 zone and the trend line. The first major support is near the $225 level.
A break below the $225 level might send the price toward the $220 support zone. If there is a close below the $220 support, the price could decline toward the $212 support in the near term.
