SOL tested the $120 zone and recently started an upside correction, like <a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/analysis/btc/bitcoin-price-recovery-60k/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ">Bitcoin</a> and <a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/analysis/eth/ethereum-price-100-sma-resistance/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ">Ethereum</a>. 
There was a decent increase above the $125 and $130 levels. The price climbed above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward wave from the $160 swing high to the $118 low. There was a break above a key bearish trend line with resistance at $132 on the 4-hour chart of the SOL/USD pair. 
It even spiked above the $140 zone and the 100 simple moving average (4 hours), but there is no hourly close. The bears are currently active near the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward wave from the $160 swing high to the $118 low.
