Solana (SOL) faced renewed selling pressure this week, with its price dropping below key support levels and showing signs of further weakness.

Solana attempted a brief recovery early Monday, climbing above the $180 and $182 levels before encountering strong resistance near $188.

According to Kraken data, SOL formed a local high near $189 before sellers stepped in, triggering a swift reversal.

A breakdown below $172 could accelerate losses toward the $165 region — a zone that coincides with heavy liquidity and a prior consolidation base from September.

This scenario would likely be accompanied by a broader crypto market correction, as investors reduce exposure to high-beta assets amid macroeconomic uncertainty.
