Solana Price looks for bullish breakout

There was a break above the connecting downtrend line with resistance at $190 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair. The pair rose above $195 and tested the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of the downward move from the $228 swing high to the $175 low.
However, the price is now facing several hurdles near $200. Solana is now trading above the $190 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average. On the upside, the price is facing resistance near the $202 level.
The next major resistance is near the $208 level or the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $228 swing high to the $175 low. The main resistance could be at $215. A successful close above the $220 resistance level could set the pace for another steady increase. The next major resistance is $235. Any further gains could push the price towards the $250 level.
Another drop in SOL?
If SOL fails to rise above the $208 resistance level, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $195 level. The first major support is near the $188 level.
A break below the $180 level could send the price towards the $175 region. If there is a close below the $175 support level, the price may fall towards the $162 support level in the near term.
