There was a clear move above the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $218 swing high to the $194 low. However, the bears seem to be active near the $212 resistance zone. The price reacted to the downside below $210.

The next major resistance is near the $212 level or the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $218 swing high to the $194 low. The main resistance could be $218. A successful close above the $218 resistance zone could set the pace for another steady increase. The next key resistance is $232. Any more gains might send the price toward the $245 level.
Another Decline In SOL?
If SOL fails to rise above the $212 resistance, it could continue to move down. Initial support on the downside is near the $204 zone. The first major support is near the $200 level.
A break below the $200 level might send the price toward the $195 support zone. If there is a close below the $195 support, the price could decline toward the $184 support in the near term.
