Solana (SOL) is showing strong performance recently, with notable gains across various time frames.
Since July 2023, the token has experienced an impressive rally of nearly 471%. This uptick in trading activity indicates increased investor interest, suggesting the potential for further price increases.
Currently, SOL is trading around $160. The optimism around Solana has been buoyed by recent proposals for Solana ETFs and a generally positive 2024 performance, especially with its meme coins.
This rally aligns with broader market trends, including Bitcoin (BTC) recently briefly reclaiming the $65,000 mark and the global cryptocurrency market capitalization climbing to over $2.5 trillion in a single day. Although Bitcoin has since retreated to $64,000, SOL continues to benefit from the recent market boost and has potential for further gains.
Technical analysis shows that SOL is forming a “W” pattern, with predictions suggesting a possible rise to around $174. Given its performance so far in 2024, an 8.75% increase to reach this level seems plausible. If bullish momentum persists, SOL could potentially reach $180 in the near future.

Unlike Bitcoin, which saw its ETF hype earlier, Solana’s ETF excitement is just beginning. This could propel SOL toward higher valuations, possibly hitting $180 in the coming months. Additionally, if the SEC makes favorable decisions regarding Solana ETFs, the token might even approach $200. Such a rise would not be unprecedented, considering Bitcoin’s substantial price increase following ETF approval.
Crypto markets are buzzing with momentum as several altcoins post double-digit gains and surging volumes.
Sui (SUI) surged 14% in the past 24 hours, reaching $4.26 as bullish technical patterns, Bitcoin’s rebound, and renewed ETF speculation pushed the altcoin higher.
Hedera Hashgraph (HBAR) is closely tracking its 2021 price behavior, according to crypto analyst Rekt Capital.
Stellar (XLM) is once again approaching a decisive technical moment after facing a familiar rejection at the $0.52 resistance zone.
