Solana climbed above $132 on Jan. 5 following a sustained rally that pushed the altcoin past its 100-hourly simple moving average. The price surge marks a technical reversal after weeks of consolidation, with momentum indicators signaling continued strength as traders watch for a potential breakout above $140.
What Happened: Price Rally
Solana price broke through the $130 and $132 resistance levels against the US dollar. The asset advanced above $135 after establishing support at $125, mirroring broader market gains seen in Bitcoin and Ethereum.
A bullish trend line formed with support at $135 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair. The price reached $138 before consolidating above the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level of the upward move from the $123 swing low.
The asset now faces resistance near $138, with major barriers at $140 and $145.
A close above $145 could trigger a move toward $150, while further gains might push the price to $155.
On the downside, initial support sits at $134 and the trend line, with major support at $130 and the 50% Fibonacci retracement level. A break below $130 could send the price toward $128, while a close below that level might lead to a decline toward $120.
