The Solana price is on the verge of a possible meltdown reminiscent of Terra‘s (LUNA) infamous collapse in 2022. A crypto analyst who identified this bearish trend in the Solana price action has projected a drastic crash to new lows at $22. Solana Price Action Mirrors LUNA’s Catastrophic Collapse A pseudonymous crypto analyst on TradingView named PizzaDriver has released a recent technical analysis of the Solana price action. The market expert predicts that Solana, the sixth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, could soon decline to drastic lows. Related Reading: Solana Price Will Complete 1,800% Surge To $4,000 With This Formation: Analyst The analyst drew parallels between Solana’s current chart structure and the LUNA meltdown of 2022. The weekly chart highlights that Solana has formed a Double Top pattern, a classic bearish reversal signal from an uptrend to a downtrend. This pattern appears like the letter “M”, creating two peaks and a dip in between. This pattern also signifies deteriorating momentum in the Solana price, as the cryptocurrency has been facing severe volatility. In addition to the Double Top pattern, Solana’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) has exhibited a bearish divergence. This means that while its price attempted to reach new highs, it was unable to due to underlying weakness. This same RSI bearish divergence was observed in LUNA before its infamous market crash, which triggered a decline to a zero level. According to the TradingView analyst, if Solana fails to hold key support levels and breaks below them, it could trigger a widespread liquidity crisis that would send its price plummeting to $22, a significant historical support level last seen in 2022. Adding to the already concerning price outlook, major institutional investors appear to have already sold their holdings and taken profits at price highs. Ahead of the bull run, these investors have reportedly reallocated funds into other somewhat safer coins like Ethereum (ETH) and Binance Coin (BNB), which have been seeing steady growth in on-chain activities and have risen in value over the week. This redistribution increases the risk of a rapid sell-off, further weakening Solana’s fundamentals. Rug Pulls And High Fees Weigh On Solana Beyond bearish technical indicators and price forecasts, the Solana ecosystem is currently experiencing a rise in investor dissatisfaction. PizzaDriver revealed that the Solana blockchain has become a primary space for meme coins and speculative trading. Additionally, there are allegations of rug pulls and project abandonment in the ecosystem, leaving investors with a sour experience.

Moreover, Solana’s transaction fees have skyrocketed, hitting record highs and contradicting its original appeal as a low-cost transaction alternative to Ethereum. As a result, investors have begun shifting focus to long-term projects with transparent roadmaps, security audits, and strong partnerships. Due to its numerous ecosystem dilemmas, the TradingView analyst disclosed that Solana risks losing its dominant position unless it addresses these fundamental challenges.

In a recent chart update published on February 14, 2025, crypto analyst Ali Martinez (@ali_charts) highlighted Solana’s steadfast performance above the $190 mark, suggesting the potential for a breakout toward $225 or even $260. The one-day SOL/USDT chart (Binance) reveals several notable technical signals that support Martinez’s outlook. Why Solana Is Poised For $260 The chart outlines a rising channel that has been in play since roughly the summer, starting near $125 (close to the 0 Fibonacci level at $124.96) and stretching as high as the upper boundary near $355 (around the 1.414 Fibonacci extension at $355.78). Within this broad upward corridor, Solana’s price has consistently bounced between the lower and upper trendlines, creating a visually recognizable pattern of higher highs and higher lows. A closer look at Martinez’s annotations reveals several key Fibonacci levels. The 0.382 Fib hovers near $165.78, while the 0.5 line comes in at $180.91—both previously acting as support or resistance at different points of Solana’s climb. But the 0.618 Fib at $187.41 appears especially crucial for the current setup, as that zone has helped keep SOL on its feet during recent dips. Martinez points to this region as a core layer of support that buyers are defending. Related Reading: Solana Whale Breaks Silence, Moves Over 61,000 SOL In Massive Accumulation Above these levels, the chart highlights potential take-profit or resistance targets at the 0.786 Fib around $226.28 and the 1.0 level near $261.90. Overcoming these thresholds would signal a renewed bullish push that could see SOL continuing its ascent within the channel. Meanwhile, the further extension lines at $320.29 (1.272) and $355.78 (1.414) demonstrate that, if Solana regains strong momentum, additional upside targets remain on the table for the long term. Martinez’s mention of “Solana is holding firm above $190, setting the stage for a potential breakout to $225 or $260!” underscores the importance of the $187–$190 area. If buyers continue to defend this section of the chart, Solana may very well challenge the upper boundary of the channel again, testing the $225 resistance and potentially marching onward to the $260 region. Related Reading: Solana Holds Support Above Key Indicator – Expert Sees Push To ATH If Momentum Returns For now, all eyes remain on whether SOL can sustain its place above the lower portion of the ascending channel. Should that support fail, the token could retrace toward $165 (0.382 Fib) or lower. But as it stands, the overall structure still looks favorable to the upside, lending credence to Martinez’s prediction of another leg higher toward $225 and possibly $260. However, it’s crucial to remember that broader market conditions still need to line up, particularly with Bitcoin stuck in its sideways range between $91,200 and $108,000. Any decisive move beyond this range could serve as the catalyst for altcoins like Solana to capitalize on renewed market momentum. At press time, SOL traded at $198.

Crypto analyst Trader Tardigrade has drawn the community’s attention to a bullish pattern that has formed for Solana. Based on this pattern, the analyst predicted that SOL could witness a parabolic rally to a new all-time high (ATH) and provided a target that the crypto could reach. Solana Could Rally To $565 As Ascending Triangle Forms In an X post, Trader Tardigrade predicted that Solana could rally to $565 following the formation of an ascending triangle. He noted that SOL has been forming ascending triangles before each recent breakout. The analyst added that Solana reaches its target at Fibonacci 2.618 after each breakout. Related Reading: Solana Price Will Complete 1,800% Surge To $4,000 With This Formation: Analyst In line with this, Trader Tardigrade predicts that Solana can reach $565 once this ascending triangle completely forms. The analyst revealed that the current ascending triangle is more than halfway complete, indicating this parabolic rally could soon happen. His accompanying chart also showed that SOL could reach this price target as early as April. Asset manager VanEck also recently provided a bullish outlook for Solana, predicting it can reach $500 by year-end 2025. The asset manager’s analysts explained that this projection is supported by Solana’s developer dominance, increasing market share in decentralized exchange (DEX) volumes, revenues, and active users. Meanwhile, crypto analyst Ali Martinez suggested that Solana couldn’t rally to as high as $500 but predicted it could reach at least $350. However, he warned that SOL needs to hold above the support level at $198. In a more recent X post, he also raised the possibility of Solana reaching $380. The analyst stated that Solana is testing a key support level at the lower boundary of the parallel channel he highlighted on the charts. According to him, holding above this support level could strengthen the uptrend, fueling a rally to $387. SOL Needs To Reclaim The $220 Level In an X post, crypto analyst Jelle stated that the first mission for Solana is to reclaim $220. This came has he noted that SOL is holding the key support level so far. The analyst indicated that it would be ideal for SOL to bounce from its current level if its price action is to remain short-term bullish. In line with this, he remarked that the first mission is to reclaim $220. Related Reading: Solana Price At $4,000? Cup And Handle Pattern Shows Why This Is Possible Crypto analyst CryptoElites asserted that Solana is preparing for a massive move. The analyst revealed that the 2021 downtrend has been broken, and SOL is holding above it. Based on this, he outlined $450, $678, and $1,099 as his targets for Solana in this market cycle. The analyst again reaffirmed that the technical outlook is fully positive with big moves ahead. At the time of writing, the Solana price is trading at around $202, down over 1% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from Tradingview.com
VanEck, a global investment management firm with a nearly 70-year history and a strong reputation in the exchange-traded funds (ETF) arena, has issued a striking price target for Solana (SOL). In a post shared on X on January 6, the New York-based firm projected Solana’s value to soar to $520 by the end of 2025. VanEck Predicts $520 By End Of 2025 For Solana VanEck’s thesis centers on Solana’s share within the smart contract platform (SCP) market, as well as the historical correlation between crypto market capitalization and the growth in the US. M2 money supply. According to the firm: “Our Solana Price Target by the End of 2025 is $520. We value Solana (SOL) based on its projected year-end market share within the smart contract platform (SCP) market. Our SCP market cap forecast is derived from US M2 money supply growth, given its strong historical correlation with crypto market capitalization.” Related Reading: Solana Could Target $220 If It Holds Current Levels – Analyst Expects Short-Term Bullish Momentum VanEck’s analysis forecasts that M2—the measure of the US money supply that accounts for cash, checking deposits, and easily convertible near money—will reach $22.3 trillion by late 2025. This figure assumes a maintained annualized growth rate of 3.2% from its last trough in October 2023. Citing regression analysis, VanEck estimates: “We project M2 to reach $22.3T by the end of 2025, maintaining its 3.2% annualized growth rate since its last trough in October 2023. Using regression analysis, we estimate total SCP market capitalization will grow 43% to $1.1T by year-end 2025 (vs. $770B today), surpassing its 2021 peak of $989B.” The firm notes a “strong correlation between M2 and SCP market cap” with a 12-month moving average R² of 0.36 and a t-statistic of 5.7 (p < 0.0001). Currently, Solana holds about 15% of the SCP market cap. However, VanEck expects that proportion to rise significantly by 2025: “Currently, Solana holds 15% of SCP market cap, but we forecast its share to rise to 22% by EOY 2025. This projection is supported by Solana’s developer dominance, increasing market share in DEX volumes, revenues, and active users.” Related Reading: Solana Metrics Surge: Total App Revenue Climbs To $840M In Record-Breaking Quarter By coupling this anticipated market share increase with an autoregressive (AR) forecast model, VanEck believes Solana’s market cap will climb to approximately $250 billion, which would yield a per-token price of $520, based on an estimated float of around 486 million tokens. Short-Term SOL Price Analysis For the moment, however, Solana continues its corrective phase, with the price trading at $189 as of press time. The 4-hour chart for SOL/USDT exhibits a well-defined descending channel, characterized by a series of lower highs and lower lows. SOL’s price action has been confined within a descending channel since January 18, marked by two parallel trendlines that highlight sustained selling pressure. The lower boundary of the channel, currently near $175, acts as immediate support, while the upper boundary near $215 serves as resistance. Notably, SOL is currently positioned just below the midline of the descending channel. If it fails to break above this level in the near term, a move toward the channel’s lower boundary appears likely. Moreover, SOL continues to struggle in reclaiming key Fibonacci retracement levels, with the 0.236 retracement ($203.40) serving as the first major resistance. At press time, SOL traded at $190.

A recent report by market intelligence firm Messari has highlighted an extraordinary performance by Solana (SOL) during the fourth quarter of 2024, characterizing it as potentially the best quarter for any blockchain in history. Solana Becomes Second-Largest DeFi Network The report reveals a staggering 213% quarter-over-quarter (QoQ) growth in Chain GDP—essentially the total app revenue generated on the Solana network—rising from $268 million in Q3 to an impressive $840 million in Q4. November stood out as the most lucrative month, contributing $367 million to the ecosystem. Related Reading: XRP Price Enters Golden Pocket: Analyst Says It’s A Good Buy At These Levels Among the leading applications driving this revenue surge were Pump.fun, which generated $235 million, marking a 242% QoQ increase, and Photon, which saw even more explosive growth with a 278% increase, bringing in $140 million. The overall uptick in revenue can be attributed largely to renewed speculation in memecoins and a surge in AI-related cryptocurrencies launched during this period. Solana’s decentralized finance (DeFi) total value locked (TVL) grew by 64% QoQ, reaching $8.6 billion and positioning it as the second-largest DeFi network, surpassing Tron in November. The DeFi TVL, when expressed in SOL, saw a 28% QoQ increase, totaling 46 million SOL. The average daily spot decentralized exchange (DEX) volume also skyrocketed by 150% QoQ to $3.3 billion, driven by a resurgence in memecoin trading and the rise of AI-themed tokens. In terms of stablecoins, Solana’s market cap grew by 36% QoQ to reach $5.1 billion, making it the fifth-largest stablecoin market among competing networks. The dominance of USDC continued, with its market cap increasing by 53% to $3.9 billion, capturing a 75% market share. Increased Activity And Speculation The liquid staking rate, which measures the percentage of liquid-staked SOL, rose by 33% to 11.2%, indicating that a significant portion of the eligible SOL supply—66%—is now staked. This growth is crucial for a thriving ecosystem built on yield-bearing SOL. The NFT market also saw a modest increase, with average daily volume rising by 7% QoQ to $2.7 million. Tensor dominated this space, achieving $103 million in volume—a 14% QoQ increase—while Magic Eden experienced a decrease of 28% to $68 million. Network activity metrics reflected robust engagement, with average daily fee payers increasing by 171% QoQ to 5.1 million. The number of new fee payers surged even more dramatically, growing by 189% to 3.8 million. Average daily non-vote transactions rose by 32%, reaching 81.5 million. Interestingly, the average transaction fee saw a notable uptick, increasing by 122% QoQ to $0.05, driven by heightened network activity fueled by speculation regarding a more favorable regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies in the US. Related Reading: Dogecoin $10 Price Target Back In Play? Here’s What The Charts Say Despite these gains, staked SOL experienced a decrease of 5% in Q4, attributed in part to the FTX estate unlocking its tokens. However, SOL’s market cap itself grew by 27% QoQ to $91 billion, peaking at $120 billion in November. By the end of the quarter, SOL ranked sixth among all cryptocurrencies in market cap, trailing behind Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Tether’s USDT, XRP, and Binance Coin (BNB). Currently, SOL is trading at $199, down 22% over the last two weeks, amid growing macroeconomic challenges that are having a significant impact on risk assets.

Fidelity Digital Assets, a subsidiary of global financial services firm Fidelity Investments, has released a new paper titled “2025 Look Ahead: Is it ‘too late’ to enter digital assets?” The publication dedicates significant attention to the ongoing competition between Ethereum and Solana. Authored by Max Wadington, the section “Ethereum Outlook” provides a close look at fundamental metrics, upcoming network upgrades, and the broader implications for investors heading into 2025. Solana Vs. Ethereum In 2025 In a notable excerpt comparing Solana and Ethereum, Wadington explains: “We think fundamentals are most important for long-term investors. With that said, Ethereum has strong developer activity, total value locked (TVL), and stablecoin supply. Comparatively, Solana’s revenue and TVL are improving at a faster rate than Ethereum’s and seem to have captured significant community mind share this past year.” One factor complicating Solana’s growth trajectory is the provenance of its revenue, which is significantly influenced by memecoin trading. Wadington notes that while “a similar argument could be made for Ethereum’s main use case being Uniswap,” the fundamentals of Ethereum “are slightly less dependent on speculation and may be less volatile over the long term.” Thus, neither platform is risk-free, but Ether’s broader utility may afford it more resilience in bear markets. Related Reading: Solana Back Above Weekly & Monthly Support Levels – Analyst Expects New ATH Despite this, short-term narratives and technical milestones could tip market sentiment in Solana’s favor in 2025. Specifically, Solana’s upcoming Firedancer upgrade “promises a substantial increase in transactions per second (TPS), which may directly enhance Solana’s value proposition.” Ethereum’s Prague/Electra upgrade, meanwhile, “is expected to generate less community hype as it does not significantly impact ether’s value proposition.” Another key differentiator is Ethereum’s presence in US based spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs), a channel of accessibility that helps drive institutional and retail demand. However, Wadington highlights that this advantage “may disappear at some point under the Trump administration,” pending regulatory developments that “could either solidify Ether’s advantage in this area or completely remove it.” Related Reading: Solana Rally Stalls: Pullback To Key Support Signals Potential Correction Ultimately, Wadington suggests that fundamentals may reassert themselves over hype as the market progresses: “Although Solana appears to have more short-term tailwinds than Ether, its relative performance could provide significant upside for ether, similar to how Solana’s prior underperformance provided a substantial runway leading into 2024. As prices get extended throughout this bull market, investors will likely increasingly focus on fundamentals, which may sway them back into ether.” Has Ethereum Made A Misstep? Turning specifically to Ethereum, the paper delves into ongoing debates around Ethereum’s rollup-centric roadmap. In Wadington’s words: “The rollup-centric roadmap was designed to scale Ethereum while keeping the Layer 1 blockchain easy to run. However, since the Deneb-Cancun upgrade, there has been debate about this decision as Layer 1 fees have plummeted.” While lower fees might appear detrimental to direct revenue for Ether holders, Fidelity’s position is that the long-term benefits outweigh the short-term revenue drop. Wadington reiterates: “We continue to believe that revenue from the blob market is unlikely to offset the dramatic decrease in revenue created by the previous upgrade in the short term, yet it still carries long-term positive benefits through improved network effects.” In this view, Ethereum’s ecosystem stands to benefit from a mutualistic relationship with Layer 2s, which inherit Ethereum’s security and liquidity. The foundation’s priority, as Wadington writes, is ensuring “near-zero fees to keep Layer 2s within the Ethereum ecosystem.” This could foster more specialized Layer 2 projects in 2025, as developers customize entire tech stacks for niche use cases such as the Ethereum Name Service (ENS). At press time, Solana traded at $197. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com
The Solana price is currently in a massive supply zone after recent declines in the past 48 hours that cut across the entire crypto landscape. Notably, technical analysis suggests that the Solana price is on the way to a massive breakout that would see both its price and market cap surge by over 1,700% in the near future. This analysis is highlighted by a cup and handle formation that has been in play for over two years. According to Solana price analysis shared on social media platform X by crypto analyst Ali Martinez, a bullish cup and handle pattern on Solana’s chart is pointing to a rally to an unprecedented $4,000. Cup And Handle Pattern Signals Bullish Momentum The cup and handle pattern is a classic technical analysis formation often associated with a strong bullish breakout. This pattern, characterized by a rounded bottom (the cup) followed by a smaller dip (the handle), is considered one of the more reliable indicators in technical trading. Related Reading: Weekly Bull Flag Appears On XRP Price Chart, Why A Double-Digit Is Still Feasible In the case of Solana, the development of this pattern has been in action since 2022 through different market cycles. The cup phase began to take shape during the start of the 2022 bear market and extended throughout the entire persistent downtrend. This period also covers the consolidation phase in early 2023 and the rally that took place in the second half of the year. Together, these movements formed the rounded bottom of the cup, with the latter rally highlighted by a break above five successive Fib extension levels. Interestingly, Martinez’s analysis indicates that Solana is currently in the handle phase for the past eight or so months. As it stands, recent price action has seen the Solana price peeking above the neckline of the cup and handle pattern, culminating with the recent all-time high of $263 on November 23. However, the Solana price has been highlighted by a correction phase since reaching this all-time high, with a low of $205 in the past 24 hours. Implications For Solana Price According to technical analysis, the recent all-time high on November 23 coincides with the 1.00 Fibonacci extension level when drawn from the 2022 bear market low of $8, which serves as the lowest point in the cup and handle pattern. Related Reading: This Analyst Correctly Predicted The Bitcoin Flash Crash To $94,000, But There’s A New Target However, the correction that ensued since the all-time high has seen the Solana price retesting the breakout level of neckline for the cup and handle pattern. Such a retest is a common occurrence in cryptocurrency markets, especially after breaking through long-standing resistance levels. With this in mind, Martinez predicted a bounce at the neckline and a resumption of the uptrend. Martinez’s prediction envisions a break above the next four Fib extension levels up until 1.786 Fib extension. If this trajectory were to play out this way, it would drive the Solana price above multiple psychological thresholds, ultimately surpassing $4,000 at the 1.786 extension level., representing a 1,700% increase from the current price of Solana. At the time of writing, Solana is trading at $219. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com
Solana (SOL) could be one of the biggest winners from the nomination of David O. Sacks as White House Director of Artificial Intelligence and Cryptocurrency. President-elect Donald J. Trump has appointed David Sacks as “Crypto Czar” on Thursday. Trump stated that Sacks will work to develop a legal framework to provide the crypto industry with the clarity it has been seeking, allowing the industry to flourish in the United States. Sacks brings a high-profile background to the role: he was Chief Operating Officer of PayPal during its formative years and serves as an advisor to the 0x protocol. Related Reading: Solana (SOL) Could See A Correction Despite Historic Monthly Close, $400 Still On Sight? Known for his long standing support of Bitcoin as a decentralized hedge against traditional finance and a proponent of decentralized finance (DeFi) for increasing transparency in the financial system, Sacks has also invested in multiple cryptocurrency projects through his venture capital firm, Craft Ventures. Why Sacks Is Super Bullish For Solana Among his most notable exposures is his early investment in the Solana blockchain, achieved through the crypto-focused investment firm Multicoin Capital. In 2023, Sacks confirmed that he maintained his Solana (SOL) position despite the FTX-related market turbulence and remained “up big.” Craft Ventures’ early involvement with Solana, via Multicoin Capital, reportedly generated substantial returns. According to Sacks’ own account on a podcast (when SOL stood at $169), this investment soared to a valuation around $1 billion. “That fund, I mean, it’s like a 100x fund, it’s just like bonkers. And so as a result of that, we are indirect beneficiaries of this huge increase in Solana. It will end up being about, you know, a billion dollars of, I think, Solana for us in terms of returns, but the MultiCoin guys determine the trading decisions on that,” Sacks revealed during a podcast. Sacks has discussed Solana in detail on the All-In Podcast with Chamath Palihapitiya, the founder and CEO of Social Capital. Their conversations have highlighted Solana’s capability to support rapid, cost-effective transactions at scale, often comparing its architecture and throughput favorably against that of Ethereum. “There’s a lot of people, I’d say smart money in Silicon Valley, who are betting on a flippening where Solana could ultimately overtake Ethereum as the preferred platform,” Sacks remarked. Related Reading: Solana (SOL) ATH Sparks $309 Price Prediction Frenzy – Details Notably, a spot Solana ETF is just around the corner in the US with 5 applications already filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. With the appointment of Sacks, the likelihood of a spot SOL ETF following the departure of Gary Gensler as SEC Chairman on January 20 is likely to have increased further. Solana’s strong fundamentals and growing institutional recognition are being reflected in its price action. At press time, Solana is trading just below a new all-time high established two days ago at $264.39, having surpassed its previous record from October 2021 at $259.90. Should SOL breach this newly formed resistance level, technical analysts point to potential upside targets. These include the 1.272 Fibonacci extension at around $328 and the 1.618 Fibonacci extension at approximately $415. At press time, SOL traded at $234.

The Solana price could be gearing up to reach a new ATH of $4,000, according to an analyst who highlighted its recent breakout from a massive Cup and Handle pattern. This bullish signal comes on the heels of recent gains in the Solana (SOL) price, which have pushed it significantly above the $200 mark, indicating strong upward movement. Solana Price Targets $4,000 Breakout A Crypto analyst identified as ‘CryptoRus’ has shared a longstanding prediction that suggests Solana could reach $4,000 by the end of the current market cycle. The analyst has based this bullish outlook on a technical pattern called the “Cup and Handle.” Related Reading: Analyst Predicts Possible 40% Crash For XRP Price With Gravestone DOJI Candle Formation According to CryptoRus, Solana has just broken out of its Cup and Handle pattern formation on its price chart. This unique chart pattern is considered a bullish signal and, in technical analysis, signals an extending upward trend. The analyst’s chart illustrates Solana’s price action on the weekly time frame, using the aforementioned technical pattern as the basis of analysis. From 2022 to mid-2024, Solana experienced a period of consolidation and recovery, as seen in the cup part of the technical pattern. The “handle” in the chart pattern also shows slight consolidation; however, the analyst has pinpointed a breakout signal at the end. This breakout is set to occur once Solana can surpass resistance levels between $195 and $255. After the anticipated breakout, the analyst suggests a solid upward trend, with projections implying a greater upside above $4,450 to a staggering $5,000. A surge to this impressive target would require Solana to experience a 2,027% rally from its current price. Earlier this week, when Solana was on the verge of breaking out of its Cup and Handle technical pattern, the analyst revealed in a previous X post that the Cup depth of the pattern suggests a bullish price target of $400 for Solana in this market cycle. A surge to $400 would represent a 70.21% increase from present market values. Update On Price Movements Recently, the Solana price has been on a significant upward trend, recording impressive gains amidst the bull market. This bullish price movement comes as Bitcoin sees massive gains that have pushed it to a new ATH above $93,000. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Forms Bullish Symmetrical Triangle, Crypto Analyst Says Next Stop Is $100,000 As one of the world’s leading altcoins, many analysts have projected bullish targets for the Solana price, expecting it to hit new all-time highs as the bull market heats up. As of writing, the Solana price is trading at $237, recording a 14.88% increase in the last seven days and an even larger price gain of 41.7% over the past month, according to CoinMarketCap. While the cryptocurrency’s daily trading volume of $6.8 billion is down by 12.32%, Solana still shows promise of a surge if market conditions remain favorable.

In an analysis shared on X, popular crypto analyst Gum (@0xGumshoe) is projecting that Solana (SOL) could ascend to $500 by the conclusion of this bull run. This bullish forecast hinges heavily on the outcome of the US presidential election, slated for November 5th, and the potential policy changes that could follow. Solana Price Prediction For This Bull Run @0xGumshoe initiated his forecast with a bold declaration: “SOL TO $500. The upcoming US elections will affect SOL more than any other token. Here’s why I’ve changed my price target.” Delving into the potential scenarios, @0xGumshoe examined the implications of both possible election outcomes—whether Kamala Harris secures the presidency or Donald Trump returns to office. Each scenario presents distinct pathways for Solana’s trajectory. Related Reading: Solana Likely To Target $200 ‘If It Holds Current Support’ – What To Expect In the event of a Kamala Harris victory, @0xGumshoe anticipates a mixed impact on Solana. He noted, “BTC and SOL have outperformed during Biden/Harris,” pointing especially to the performance of the past year under the current administration. The approval of the spot Bitcoin and Ethereum Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) during the Biden/Harris tenure is highlighted by the analyst as a positive factor that could continue to benefit Solana. Additionally, Harris’s supposed commitment to a “less aggressive stance towards crypto” regulation suggests a more favorable environment for the growth of Solana. However, @0xGumshoe also cautioned about potential challenges under a Harris administration. He remarked, “Less regulatory clarity” and a potential new term for SEC Chair Gary Gensler could complicate things for Solana. Furthermore, the possibility of a spot Solana ETF facing rejection and an increase in Bitcoin dominance might overshadow altcoins. Conversely, @0xGumshoe presented a more bullish outlook if Donald Trump wins the election. He asserted, “A Trump win will send Solana to ATHs as the market realizes a SOL ETF will be coming.” The analyst emphasized that unlike Bitcoin and Ethereum, Grayscale is unlikely to offload significant amounts of Solana, which could help sustain its price. Additionally, the analyst points to the possibility of establishing a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve and the departure of SEC Chair Gary Gensler as bullish catalysts for SOL. Related Reading: Solana Q3 Digest: Total Value Locked Hits $5.7 Billion, Ranks Third Among Networks However, a Trump victory could also have downsides. @0xGumshoe acknowledged that “higher inflation could eventually end the cycle like in 2021.” Furthermore, he noted Trump’s inherent volatility, stating that the former president “may not do what he promised,” which introduces an element of unpredictability to the projections. In light of these scenarios, @0xGumshoe revised his selling targets for Solana. Previously advocating for a $300 sell target, he now contemplates a higher threshold of $500, contingent upon a Trump win and an increase in macro liquidity. He explained, “If we pair up a Trump win and increase macro liquidity, I will instead sell over time for as long as I believe we hit $500.” The rationale behind the $500 price target is anchored in Solana’s fully diluted valuation (FDV). @0xGumshoe articulated, “At that price, Solana would have a $291B FDV which would put it at the current ETH market cap.” He views this valuation as a significant benchmark, suggesting that Solana’s price could approach Ethereum’s market capitalization unless there is a substantial influx of investments through ETFs, which could propel the token beyond this threshold. Under the Harris administration, @0xGumshoe’s price target for Solana remains at $300. @0xGumshoe concluded his analysis by advising caution, stating, “The elections alone are not enough to predict tops for Solana so take this with a grain of salt. Whatever happens, it is quite obvious that SOL will go far higher with Trump than Harris.” At press time, SOL traded at $161. Featured image from Coinbase, chart from TradingView.com
A recent report from crypto data and research firm Messari has shed light on the performance of the Solana (SOL) ecosystem during the third quarter of 2024. The report highlights a mixture of growth and challenges faced by the blockchain amid broader volatility in the cryptocurrency market during that period. Solana Stablecoin Market Cap Rises To $3.8 Billion One of the standout metrics from the report is the growth of Solana’s Total Value Locked (TVL) in decentralized finance (DeFi), which rose by 26% quarter-over-quarter (QoQ) to reach $5.7 billion. This growth positioned Solana as the third-largest network in terms of DeFi TVL, surpassing Tron in late September. Notably, the TVL denominated in SOL also increased, growing by 20% QoQ to 37 million SOL. Related Reading: How To Trade Bitcoin During The US Election, Expert Reveals Kamino emerged as a leading player within the Solana ecosystem, experiencing a 57% growth in TVL, ending the quarter with $1.5 billion and capturing a 26% market share. This surge is attributed to the integration of new tokens, including PayPal’s USD (PYUSD) and jupSOL, which have enhanced the platform’s appeal. Despite the overall positive trends, decentralized exchange (DEX) volume experienced a slight decline, reflecting a downturn in memecoin trading. Average daily spot DEX volume fell by 10% QoQ to $1.7 billion. Per the report, the diminishing interest in memecoins was evident, as only two tokens—WIF and POPCAT—managed to make it into the top ten by trading volume for the quarter. In contrast, Solana’s stablecoin ecosystem showed resilience, with the market cap for stablecoins growing by 23% QoQ to $3.8 billion, solidifying its rank as the fifth-largest network in this category. On the non-fungible token (NFT) front, however, the performance was less favorable. Average daily NFT volume fell by 27% QoQ to $2.5 million, with Magic Eden maintaining a dominant market share despite experiencing a 44% decline in volume. Network Activity Thrives Despite the challenges, the number of funding rounds for projects within the Solana ecosystem saw a reduction of 37% QoQ, with only 29 projects announcing funding. Yet, the total amount raised soared to $173 million, a 54% increase QoQ and the highest quarterly funding since Q2 2022. Network activity remained robust, as evidenced by a 109% increase in average daily fee payers, which reached 1.9 million. Additionally, the average daily new fee payers grew by 430% QoQ to 1.3 million, signaling a growing user base.

As of October 15, Solana’s market capitalization also grew by 5% QoQ, reaching $71 billion and maintaining its position as the fifth-largest cryptocurrency, trailing only Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether, and Binance Coin. However, the Real Economic Value (REV) of Solana, which tracks transaction fees and miner extractable value (MEV) for validators, decreased by 25% QoQ to 1.3 million SOL (approximately $196 million), with 56% of this total coming from transaction fees. At the time of writing, SOL was trading at $166, down 5% for the seven day period. Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com
In a surprising take, a crypto analyst has foreseen a crash in the price of Solana despite the ongoing bull momentum. This analyst is projecting a crash in the price of Solana, offering a fresh perspective on the crypto heavyweight. According to a crypto trader who goes by the name AlanSantana on TradingView and is very active on the trading platform, Solana’s trading volume in the past two months suggests the crypto is gearing up for a crash. Analyst Predicts Massive Crash For Solana AlanSantana observed that Solana’s trading volume has dropped significantly between September and October 2024, a development that often signals a bearish outlook and may suggest an upcoming downward price impulse. Inferring from this outlook, this suggests that the volume trend is pointing towards demand tapering off. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Breaks Out Of 7-Month Descending Broadening Wedge Pattern For Continuation Above $70,000 The analyst also draws a contrast with last year’s trading activity, specifically from September to November 2023, when Solana’s volume was on the rise. This uptick in trading volume fueled a bullish rally that extended through the first quarter of 2024, with momentum carrying Solana to substantial highs by March. Based on the difference in two time periods and the current decrease in trading volume, the analyst suggested that there is a higher probability of Solana going in a main bearish direction. In light of this, he highlighted a Solana price crash below the $50 price level. Interestingly, a crash below $50 will effectively cancel out the gains in the past year and would return the cryptocurrency to its price range in November 2023. SOL Whales Continue With Activity Solana is still largely in a bullish mode despite the decline in trading volume that was pointed out by AlanSantana. According to data from on-chain tracking firm Lookonchain, crypto whales are have upped their Solana trading activity in the past week, as evidenced by on-chain data. Related Reading: Dogecoin Price Is About To Complete This Breakout To A Descending Megaphone Pattern, Is $1 Next? In a recent post on social media platform X, Lookonchain highlighted three instances of Solana whale addresses withdrawing SOL tokens from crypto exchanges and staking them. The largest withdrawal came from address “AA21…VxH9,” which moved 153,511 SOL tokens worth approximately $26.4 million from Binance to stake them. Another whale, identified by the address “EHax…gAUa,” withdrew 35,498 SOL tokens valued at $6.12 million from Binance and Kraken over the last three days, also staking the tokens. On the other hand, whale address “EGzi…mR7g” bought 13,000 SOL tokens worth $2.3 million from Binance to bring its total holdings to 95,651 SOL. Interestingly, another smart Solana whale address recently sold 26,726 SOL worth $3.86 million. This whale, known for buying low and selling high, currently holds 42,729 SOL, which are valued at $7.61 million. At the time of writing, Solana is trading at $178, up by 8% in seven days. The accumulation and momentum are bullish, and a crash towards $40 seems bleak at the moment. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com
Among the various altcoins in the market, the Solana price has been performing relatively well, experiencing slight price surges here and there. Based on a crypto analyst’s prediction, Solana could be creating up for a major bull flag that could send its price to new all-time highs above $1,000. It’s important to note that Solana is currently trading at less than one-ninth of this projected price target of $1,400. SOL Bull Flag Points To $1,400 Price Increase A crypto analyst on X (formerly Twitter) identified as ‘Titan of Crypto,’ has shared a bullish forecast for Solana, predicting its rise to astronomical highs. The analyst predicted that Solana could see its price jump to $1,400 soon. Related Reading: Over $182 Million Wiped Out As Bitcoin Price Breaks $64,000 And Sends Bears To The Gallows In a comprehensive chart analysis of Solana’s price movements from 2023 till date, the analyst identified a well-defined bull flag pattern, which he described as “massive.” According to Titan of Crypto, the formation of this bull flag signals the potential for a major rally in the coming weeks and months. In the Solana price chart, the analyst traced the unique flag pattern, which began forming before October 2024. He extended the pattern into 2025, emphasizing that the flag would likely emerge around the end of 2024 or the beginning of the next year, before continuing its development through to October 2025. If SOL can successfully complete this pattern without experiencing significant price declines, the crypto analyst expects the top altcoin to reach new all-time highs at $1,429 by 2026. However, a more conservative price projection was given by another crypto analyst, who suggested that a $1,000 price surge based on the Heads and Shoulders technical indicator was a more realistic price target for Solana. Echoing this sentiment, Titan of Crypto disclosed that Solana’s Fibonacci extensions currency suggests a potential move towards the $1,400 price mark. While maintaining his bullish outlook for SOL, the analyst acknowledged that a $1,000 price target is also possible. He adjusted his previous forecast, stating that he expects Solana to see a price increase around the $1,000 range. Titan of Crypto has also confirmed that if Solana can pull off this projected price surge, its current market capitalization of $72.7 billion could potentially double, surpassing Ethereum’s market cap, which currently stands at $315 billion.

The popular altcoin has already experienced another 1.75% price surge in the last 24 hours, underscoring investors’ positive outlook and sentiment for Solana.

Following the Solana 1,000% run-up in 2023 and its re-entry into the crypto top 10 by market cap, it has been pitched against Ethereum once again.

A crypto analyst has reignited the debate between Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL), evaluating which cryptocurrency was more superior. Considering recent market trends and performances of both altcoins, the analyst has finally identified a clear winner in the competition. Solana Wins Battle Against Ethereum In a recent X (formerly Twitter) post, legendary crypto trader and analyst, Peter Brandt drew a comparison between Solana and Ethereum, spotlighting their fundamental characteristics, strengths and weaknesses. Based on his analysis, Brandt suggests that it was inevitable that one will be recognized as the clear winner or superior blockchain and cryptocurrency. Related Reading: Ethereum Vs. Solana: Legendary Trader Peter Brandt Reveals The ‘Clear Winner’ Sharing a price chart of Solana/Ethereum, the analyst offered a critical view of Ethereum, highlighting several vulnerabilities that are plaguing the blockchain. Despite being the second largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, Brandt has described ETH as a difficult network to use, likely attributing this to its slow transaction speeds. He stated that Ethereum was expensive, cumbersome, and flawed. Moreover, the analyst has cast doubts on Ethereum’s claim to decentralization, suggesting that the blockchain was not as decentralized as it presents itself to be. On the other hand, Brandt praised Solana for its numerous strengths and noteworthy characteristics. The analyst points out that Solana’s ability to offer high speed transactions at a fraction of the cost of Ethereum was impressive. Brandt also disclosed that Solana’s network was easier to use, making it more accessible to developers and users. Additionally, the analyst highlights that Solana maintains a strong technical base, possibly referring to the blockchain’s unique Proof Of History (PoH) consensus mechanism. From the analyst’s perspective, Solana’s strong fundamentals and superior functionalities gives it a significant edge over Ethereum. He concluded his analysis with a bold prediction, stating that Solana could gain 100% in value relative to Ethereum in the months ahead. This underscores the analyst’s belief that Solana could potentially outperform Ethereum in the market. While Brandt’s comparison of Ethereum and Solana may suggest a bias against Ethereum, the analyst has clarified that he actually does not dislike ETH. ETH Forms Death Cross While SOL Surges To $160 A crypto analyst identified as ‘KickEx’ revealed in an X post that Ethereum and Bitcoin are forming a death cross on their respective price charts. The analyst notes that ETH’s recent market crash has led to the formation of a worrisome technical pattern. Related Reading: CryptoQuant CEO Says Bitcoin Price Could Reach New ATH If It Holds This Level KickEx has disclosed that if the death cross pattern plays out, Ethereum may experience a massive price decline in the liquidity range of around $2,000 per coin. At the time of writing, the cryptocurrency is trading at $2,682, reflecting a 10.84% increase, according to CoinMarketCap. While Ethereum’s price faces a potentially bleak future outlook, Solana has been performing relatively well in the market. The cryptocurrency recently hit the $160 price level, marking a rise of over 10%. Although the cryptocurrency has since retreated to $157, Solana continues to show strong bullish signals amidst market downtrends. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com
Solana (SOL) is currently one of the high-flyers in the crypto market. The crypto token recently recorded one of the most gains following the market-wide rebound. Crypto analyst Rekt Capital, however, suggested that the crypto token is just getting started, revealing key levels to watch as Solana eyes higher prices. Key Levels To Watch For Solana’s Price In an X (formerly Twitter) post, Rekt Capital highlighted $180 and $202 as key price levels to watch for Solana’s price. The analyst claimed that a successful retest of the $180 price level as new support could continue an upward trend over time for Solana. SOL could rise above $200 in the short term as it moves further to the upside. However, the crypto token would need to break the resistance at $202 as it looks to break its all-time high (ATH) of $260. Related Reading: Will Bitcoin Reach A New All-Time High? Crypto Analyst Reveals Why $90,000 Is Possible Following the recent market-wide rebound, Solana had risen above $180, a three-month high for the crypto token. Although the crypto token has dropped below this price level again, another rise above $180 will help SOL establish that price range as new support and prime it for further moves to the upside. As highlighted by Rekt Capital, the $135 and $122 price levels have already been established as solid support for the crypto token. Rekt Capital’s analysis follows crypto analyst Ali Martinez’s recent prediction that Solana could skyrocket and rise to as high as $1,000. Martinez stated that early signs of a breakout from a bull pennant suggest a potential 900% rally ahead for Solana. Crypto analyst Javon Marks also offered a bullish prediction for Solana, stating that the crypto token will rise to $233 and then $450. He made this prediction based on SOL’s bullish structure, which he noted also recently confirmed a hidden bullish divergence. Marks explained that this divergence could send Solana’s price back above $204 and lead to a price rally of over 40% to $233.8 as prices “hold broken out of a much larger resisting structure.” The analyst also suggested that this bullish divergence will cause Solana’s price to rise to $450. Enough Reasons To Be Bullish On Solana There are enough reasons to be bullish on Solana, especially considering how the crypto token has earned the status of being among the ‘big 3’ alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum in this bull run. Solana’s dominance in this market cycle is one reason market participants anticipate that a Spot Solana ETF will likely be approved next. Solana’s price appears to be reacting to such expectations, with fund issuers VanEck and 21Shares filing to offer Spot Solana ETFs. If they eventually launch, these funds could contribute to more parabolic price gains for SOL, considering the Spot Bitcoin ETFs’ impact on BTC’s price. Related Reading: Dogecoin Falling Wedge Pattern: Crypto Analyst Predicts Breakout To $0.22 The steady rise in Solana’s total value locked (TVL) also paints a bullish picture for the crypto token. Data from DeFiLlama shows that Solana’s TVL has been rising significantly since the start of the year and has continued to hit new highs. The network’s TVL currently stands at $5.21 billion, the third highest among all chains. At the time of writing, Solana is trading at around $173, down over 1% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com
A crypto analyst has predicted that Solana (SOL) is set to rally by 1,000% this bullish cycle. According to his analysis, SOL is preparing for a mega surge to new all time highs of $1,800. Solana Sets Sight On $1,800 Price Increase In a recent X (formerly Twitter) post, Ali Martinez, a prominent cryptocurrency analyst, expressed bullish sentiment regarding Solana’s future price outlook. According to Martinez, Solana is poised for a significant price surge, potentially reaching an impressive $1,000, marking new all-time highs. Related Reading: Here’s Why The Bitcoin Price Crashed Below $66,000, Taking Shiba Inu And Dogecoin With It The crypto analyst’s optimistic forecast for Solana is rooted in the cryptocurrency’s recent price movements. Sharing a price chart illustrating SOL’s price action from late 2023 to the end of 2024, Martinez predicted a maximum bullish surge to $1,800 for the altcoin. The analyst also based his bullish projections on early signs of an identified technical bull pennant pattern in Solana’s price chart. A bull pennant is a continuation pattern that often signals the extension of continuation of an upward trend after a period of consolidation. For Solana, this unique pattern suggests that SOL may be gearing up for a substantial bullish breakout this year. In accordance with his analysis, Martinez foresees Solana experiencing a whopping 900% rally by the end of 2024. This price surge would signal a major milestone for the cryptocurrency, considering Solana has only been able to rise as high as $259.96 in 2021. While Martinez has maintained a bullish stance on Solana’s price outlook, the analyst also cautioned that his projected surge will not happen instantly. He disclosed that the flagpole for the bull pennant pattern took about 184 days to form, during which Solana climbed from an initial price of $11 to $192. Given this gradual price progression, Martinez revealed that there will be multiple corrections or temporary price dips for SOL along its path to its $1,000 price target. One of the said corrections is expected at the breakout point of $167, suggesting that Solana may drop to this level before it can reach new highs. After this slight correction, SOL is expected to continue on a bullish upward trajectory, potentially reaching $1,000 in due time. SOL Price Analysis Solana has been on a bullish trend over the past month, steadily approaching the $200 price mark. The cryptocurrency has witnessed substantial gains, recording an increase of approximately 14.71% in the last seven days, according to CoinMarketCap. Related Reading: Will Bitcoin Reach A New All-Time High? Crypto Analyst Reveals Why $90,000 Is Possible At the time of writing, SOL price is trading at $177.56, underscoring the cryptocurrency’s strong fundamentals amidst market volatility. In a more recent X post, Martinez disclosed that Solana’s TD sequential is now presenting a buy signal on the hourly chart. According to the indicator, this suggests that it might be a good time to purchase Solana, as the price is expected to increase soon. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com
The Solana bearish price action might be coming to a close, as many cryptocurrencies have started to show mixed price action in the past 24 hours. Dialing the price action further back shows Solana has been mostly bearish and has been on a price decline since the beginning of the month. Notably, the crypto recently reached a 30-day low of $123.96, representing a 29% decline from a monthly high of $174.65. However, some proponents remain undeterred and are still looking forward to a bullish Solana on the long run. Particularly, an interesting prediction from crypto analyst Crypto Patel puts the price of Solana rising to $1,000 in the long term. Solana To $1000? Crypto Patel, mostly known for his Bitcoin takes, recently dropped a brief analysis on social media platform X regarding Solana’s price trajectory. According to his Solana/TetherUS 1 week timeframe chart, Solana’s price formation on the long-term seems to lead up to a surge towards $1,000. Notably, the chart shows the formation of a giant cup and handle pattern, which is generally considered a bullish pattern. Related Reading: Analysts Battle Over Cardano’s Next Move: 12,000% Rally Or 50% Crash? Solana has been on a U-formation since 2022, with a recent six-month surge since October 2023 completing the other side of the U cup. However, the pattern shows a prevailing neck line resistance around SOL’s current all-time high of $259, leading to the start of the handle pattern. According to the technical analysis, this handle pattern is expected to be completed sometime around late 2025. Following its completion, Solana will have the opportunity to break through this neckline resistance at some point in 2026, which would initiate a surge to new all-time highs. The first price target is around $430, and the second is just above $1,000, representing gains of 220% and 640%, respectively, from the current price levels. As explained above, the analyst’s technical analysis is more of a long-term outlook than on a short-term price prediction. This serves more as a strategic roadmap for the next few years. Related Reading: SkyBridge Capital’s Scaramucci Says Bitcoin Will Reach $250,000 Is This US Presidential Candidate Wins It’s important to note that while Crypto Patel’s final SOL price target might be ultra-bullish, the path to attaining it looks very tough. Surprisingly, the analysis suggests that Solana could fall to as low as $46 during the formation of the handle pattern, a price that might not resonate well with Solana bulls. At the time of writing, Solana is trading at $136 and is 9% in the past 24 hours as the bulls look to undo a month long price decline. According to price history, investors can look forward to Solana kickstarting a bullish price action in July. This is because Solana has registered price increases in July for the past six years.

Certain on-chain indicators paint a bullish picture for Solana (SOL), suggesting this may be an excellent time to purchase the crypto token. This aligns with Solana’s price movement on the chart, with technical analysts predicting that an upward trend might be on the horizon. Solana Enjoying Greater Adoption Data from the market Intelligence platform IntoTheBlock shows that the number of daily addresses on the Solana network has been growing at an impressive rate. On June 11, over 1 million new addresses transacted on the Solana network. This development is significant as SOL could enjoy future price surges as more new users continue to trade on the network. Related Reading: Famous Analyst Dave The Wave Says Bitcoin Still Has Wiggle Room, Sets $300,000 Target The massive growth enjoyed by the Solana network has also translated to greater trading volume on the network, which is also bullish for the crypto token. Data from DappRadar shows that there has been a 62% increase in transaction volume on the Solana chain in the last 24 hours, with over 8.83 million transactions processed during this period. Interstingly, Solana stands tall in this metric, as no other chain has processed this many transactions during this period. Solana has also processed more transactions than every other chain in the last seven days, with over 59.55 million transactions processed within this timeframe. The growing interest in SOL has been partly thanks to the meme coin ecosystem on the network. Solana has become the go-to platform for traders looking to make massive profits from meme coins, which have so far been the best-performing crypto assets in this bull run. Solana’s reputation as the home for meme coins has even attracted celebrities like Australian rapper Iggy Azalea, Caitlyn Jenner, and Andrew Tate to the network. Bearing this in mind, it only seems like a matter of time before Solana’s price reacts positively to its network growth and ever-increasing network activity. Time To Buy SOL? Crypto analyst Altcoin Sherpa suggested that now might be a good time to buy Solana ahead of the meteoric price rally, which it could enjoy soon enough. The analyst said he expects “bigger things” for SOL later this year. For now, he expects Solana to keep chopping between $185 and $120 and just continue to witness a “prolonged period of consolidation.” Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Prediction: Major Analysts Say BTC Is Headed For 6-Digit ATH This period of consolidation is usually a good time for investors to accumulate the crypto token, considering that coins typically enjoy a parabolic uptrend after consolidating for a while. Meanwhile, Altcoin Sherpa claimed that this period of consolidation is healthy for Solana, given the huge run it has already had, rising to a yearly high of $209 on March 18. As to how Solana can rise, Altcoin Sherpa previously predicted that the crypto token will rise above $500 this year.

Despite the relative tepid movement in the crypto market since Bitcoin hit a new all-time high (ATH) in March, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana have continued to top traditional assets, including Gold. This was highlighted in a recent report that showed how crypto assets have provided the best returns for a while now. Bitcoin, Ethereum, And Solana Outperform Traditional Assets Raoul Pal, Co-Founder of Exponential Age Asset Management (EXPAAM), shared the crypto investment firm’s latest monthly update, showing annualized returns on all major assets. Related Reading: Dogecoin Social Sentiment Turns Bearish And Drops To March Levels, What This Means For Price Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana have topped traditional assets with annualized returns of 141%, 152%, and 224%, respectively. For context, NDX, the best major traditional asset, boasts an annualized return of 17%. Thanks to this, these crypto assets have been the best-performing assets in 11 of the last 14 years. These digital assets also look on course to outperform traditional assets again this year, as they boast higher year-to-date (YTD) gains. Data from CoinMarketCap shows that Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana currently have YTD gains of over 67%, 66% and 70%, respectively. On the other hand, Gold, the best-performing non-crypto asset this year, has a YTD gain of 13%. The NDX boasts a YTD gain of 10%, while the SPY has recorded a YTD gain of 11%. Interestingly, while the volatility of crypto assets has been criticized at times, this has largely contributed to why they have continued outperforming traditional assets. The Director of Global Macro at Fidelity Investments, Jurrien Timmer, previously highlighted how Bitcoin has continued to record the best risk-reward since 2020. He also alluded to Bitcoin’s high volatility, stating that Bitcoin’s huge drawdowns have also come with large gains. The same can also said about crypto tokens, especially considering that a token like Solana, which dropped to as low as $10 in late 2022, is now trading above $170. More Gains Ahead For BTC, ETH, SOL Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana are expected to record more YTD gains as the year progresses, given that the crypto market is currently in a bull run. Recent developments in the crypto market also paint a bullish outlook for these crypto tokens. One is the increased demand for the Spot Bitcoin ETFs. Data from Farside Investors showed that these funds recorded net inflows of $886.6 million on June 4, their best day since March. Related Reading: Crypto Pundit Shares “Inevitable” Prices For Bitcoin And 5 Altcoins Meanwhile, the Spot Ethereum ETFs are expected to begin trading by July. Crypto analysts like Michael van de Poppe predict these funds could spark a significant rally for Ethereum and other altcoins. ‘Solana Summer’ also looks to be on the horizon, with the crypto token showing signs of imminent parabolic upward trend. At the time of writing, Bitcoin has broken above the $70,000 resistance level and is trading at around $71,000, up almost 3% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Crypto analyst Crypto Jack has suggested that Solana-based meme coin Dogwifhat (WIF) could soon witness a catastrophic crash. He noted what needs to happen for the meme coin to avoid this significant price decline. How Dogwifhat’s Price Could Crash Significantly Crypto Jack mentioned in an X (formerly Twitter) post that Dogwifhat’s price needs to stay above $3.5 as failure to hold above that level could be “catastrophic” for the meme coin. He also advised crypto traders to exercise caution while trading the meme coin so they do not get caught unaware and shaken out from their positions. Interestingly, data from CoinMarketCap shows that Dogwifhat has experienced a price drop below $3.5 from its weekly high of $4. Crypto Jack’s analysis suggests that the meme coin’s catastrophic crash may have already begun, as it could well hit new lows on its way down. It is worth mentioning that Dogwifhat is still up over 24% in the last seven days, which suggests that this recent price decline might just be a brief correction as part of an upward trend that the meme coin is currently enjoying. However, thanks to this recent price decline, over $1.2 million in long positions have been liquidated in the last 24 hours, according to data from Coinglass. Not Yet Time To Be Bearish On Dogwifhat Crypto analyst CrediBULL Crypto had previously revealed his bearish expectations for Dogwifhat, claiming that the crypto token could drop to as low as $1.6. He added that he would look to short the meme coin at $3.90, as he expected it to enjoy one last push to the upside before it declined significantly. However, despite Dogwifhat already attaining this height as predicted, CrediBULL Crypto suggested in a recent X post that it wasn’t yet the right time to be bearish on Dogwifhat. He claimed that the “Hat stays on a bit longer” because he believes Solana is approaching a bounce zone, which could cause it to climb to new local highs. If that is the case, he expects WIF to continue its upward trend, making it shorting it now a wrong move. Crypto analyst and trader Ponzi Trader also suggested that Dogwifhat still has enough bullish momentum to make another run following its recent price decline. He revealed that he is betting on WIF, bouncing from its current price range. Regarding how high Dogwifhat could rally on its next leg up, crypto analyst Alex Clay predicts the bullish sentiment towards the meme coin could send its price to $6.7. Crypto analyst and trader Unipcs (Bonk Guy) is bullish on Dogwifhat and predicts that the meme coin will reach $10 while claiming it will never drop to $1 again.
