• The $87.20 to $88 area is the next key resistance zone for bulls.

Solana (SOL) moved higher on April 8 after a fresh rally pushed the token above the $82 and $85 levels. The move placed SOL back in a short-term positive structure.

The price reached a high of $87.04 before easing slightly. It was later trading near $84 to $85 while holding most of the recent gain.

On the hourly chart, SOL broke above a bullish flag pattern with resistance at $80. That breakout helped start the latest upward move.

SOL is also trading above the 100-hour simple moving average. That keeps short-term attention on the next resistance area.

The first nearby barrier is around $85. The next main upside zone sits near $88.

If buyers clear $88, the next resistance levels are seen at $95 and $102. A stronger move could then open the way toward $112.

Short-term rally meets overhead resistance

Another market update said SOL gained 5.85% on the day to trade near $84.18. That report placed the token just below the 20-day and 50-day moving averages.

It also showed the 200-day moving average much higher at $134.10. The Ichimoku Kijun near $87.19 was listed as immediate resistance.

That keeps the $87.20 to $88 area in focus. For now, SOL is still trying to move through that range.

Momentum signals were mixed in that report. RSI leaned slightly bullish, but Stoch RSI and BBP pointed to overbought conditions after the recent jump.

The same report said the likely near-term range is $83.50 to $86.50 unless price breaks out of that band. That fits with the current consolidation after the rally.

Support levels stay in focus

If Solana fails to move above $88, price could turn lower again. Initial support is seen near $83.75.

The next key support is near $82.70, which lines up with the 50% Fibonacci retracement of the move from $78.38 to $87.04. Below that, traders are watching the $80 level.

A close below $80 could expose $75. That would mark a clear loss of the latest short-term recovery.

Ali Charts said Solana was trading inside a wider consolidation channel, with resistance at $96.04 and support at $76.66. He said the next 48 hours could shape the rest of April, with a hold above support pointing to a bounce toward $81 and $85, while a break below $76.66 could open the door to $68.54.

Other background data pointed to fresh security programs from the Solana Foundation and recent regulatory clarity in the US. Still, the latest factual setup remains centered on price: SOL rallied to $87.04 and is now testing whether buyers can push through the $87.20 to $88 resistance zone.
