The next major resistance is near the $210 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $223 swing high to the $196 low. The main resistance could be $213.

Another Decline in SOL?
If SOL fails to rise above the $205 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $196 level. The first major support is near the $188 level.
A break below the $180 level might send the price toward the $175 zone. If there is a close below the $175 support, the price could decline toward the $162 support in the near term.
