Downside Correction In SOL?
If SOL fails to rise above the $92 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $90 zone. The first major support is near the $88.50 level and the trend line or the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent upward move from the $82.50 swing low to the $94.10 high.
