Solana climbed above the $140 mark and now trades near $144 as technical indicators point to potential further gains toward $145 and $150 resistance levels, though traders remain cautious about a possible pullback to support zones around $138.

What Happened; SOL Breaks $140

SOL started its upward move after settling above $132, according to data from Kraken.

The token pushed through resistance at $138, then $140, and eventually $142. It reached a high of $144 before consolidating.

The price now sits above the 100-hourly simple moving average. A bullish trend line has formed with support at $138 on the hourly SOL/USD chart.

Technical data shows the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level of the move from $135 to $144 is holding.

The hourly MACD shows bullish momentum, and the RSI remains above 50.
