Solana (SOL) has experienced significant momentum over the past two days, with its value rising from $110.58 to an intra-day peak of $156.15 by Saturday. This surge comes after a period of losses, signaling a strong return to bullish trends for the cryptocurrency.
DEX Trading Volume on Solana Sets New Record
Solana’s recent performance is bolstered by a series of positive developments. A notable factor driving this upward trend is the record-breaking trading volume on Solana’s decentralized exchanges (DEX). According to data from DeFiLlama, DEX trading volume on Solana has exceeded $4 billion within 24 hours, establishing a new all-time high. This achievement not only underscores the growing interest in Solana’s DEX ecosystem but also solidifies its bullish momentum in the market.
Solana Tops Blockchain Market in Transaction Volume
In addition to record DEX trading volumes, Solana has also emerged as a leader in the blockchain market regarding transaction volume. Recent analysis by TOP 7 ICOs reveals that Solana recorded 245 million transactions over the past week, making it the top-performing blockchain in this regard. Furthermore, Solana boasts 1.68 million active addresses and a fully diluted market cap of $90.4 billion, reinforcing its dominance in the cryptocurrency market.
Solana’s Growth Potential: A Look Ahead
Solana’s growth potential remains strong, with a remarkable 20x increase from its bear market lows. Renowned crypto analyst Miles Deutscher has predicted a further 5-10x gain, which could propel SOL to a $1,000 price target. This optimism is fueled by Solana’s consistent performance in the DeFi space, along with upcoming upgrades like the Firedancer upgrade, which is expected to significantly enhance transaction speeds. Rising institutional interest and the potential approval of an SOL ETF could further drive its price upward.
Solana Poised to Outperform Ethereum
Crypto analyst Peter Brandt has forecasted that Solana (SOL) could outperform Ethereum (ETH) by 100% in the coming months. The SOLETH ratio, which measures SOL’s performance relative to ETH, currently stands at 0.059. Brandt suggests that a breakout at 0.11 could lead to significant gains for SOL.
Solana’s Current Market Consolidation and Key Levels to Watch
Currently trading at $154.22, Solana (SOL) appears to be in a consolidation phase. The key pivot point is at $153.28, with immediate resistance at $163.64. Technical indicators suggest mixed signals, but the market is leaning slightly towards a bullish trend. A breakout above $163.64 could trigger further upward momentum, while a fall below $150.31 may signal renewed bearish pressure.
