Solana has surged past the $84 mark, trading above the 100-hourly simple moving average. The price is encountering resistance around $85.20, coinciding with the 76.4% Fibonacci retracement level from the downward movement that started at the $85.85 swing high and dipped to the $83.27 low. The upcoming significant resistance is around the $85.50 mark. The primary resistance level appears to be $88.
