Downside Correction In SOL?

If SOL fails to rise above the $220 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $216 zone and the trend line. The first major support is near the $210 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $199 swing low to the $220 high.
