Failed $159 Breakout Sends SOL Into Sharp Retreat
The post Failed $159 Breakout Sends SOL Into Sharp Retreat appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Solana (SOL) faced renewed downside pressure after multiple failed attempts to break above the $158–$159 resistance zone. Sellers took control during the 13:00 hour, where volume surged past 1.1 million, breaking through the $153.10–$153.30 support region and accelerating the bearish momentum. Despite a modest recovery attempt, SOL remains on the back foot, trading just above $153. With lower highs forming across recent sessions and key support zones under threat, analysts warn that further downside is possible unless bulls reclaim the $153.30 level. The psychological $150 mark now looms as the next major line of defense. Technical Analysis Highlights Strong resistance at $158–$159 triggered a 4.48% decline from peak to trough. High-volume breakdown below $153.10–$153.30 support zone signals bearish shift. SOL fell from $154.53 to $151.89 in the final hour, a 1.7% intraday drop. Notable selling at 13:40 (36K) and 13:48 (59K) accelerated downward momentum. Price has since rebounded to $153.81, with tentative support near $152.50. Lower highs and elevated selling volume suggest continued short-term pressure. A close above $153.30 is needed to signal potential trend stabilization.
