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.

Crypto analyst Javon Marks has provided insights into the future trajectory of Solana (SOL) after it hit a 1,100% return. The analyst is known to have called the crypto token’s previous high correctly, which is one reason his latest prediction is worth keeping an eye on. Solana Could Rise To As High As $453 Marks mentioned in an X (formerly Twitter) post that despite its recent pullback, Solana’s price may be getting ready for another price rally. He noted that a move of over 54% may already be in the pipeline and that such a price move could open up room for another run of over 93%, which would send Solana to $453. Related Reading: Cardano Ready For 15x Move, Crypto Analyst Reveals The Major Drivers Source: X Marks predicted last year that Solana would climb above $200, which it eventually did this year, peaking at a year-to-date (YTD) high of $202. Although the crypto token has dropped significantly from that price level, Marks’ recent prediction confirms that Solana’s run isn’t done yet and will still surpass its current all-time high (ATH) of $260. Solana rising to $453 looks more feasible considering that crypto analysts like Altcoin Sherpa have predicted that the crypto token could rise above $500 by year-end. Crypto analyst Hansolar also predicted that Solana could climb to $600 in this market cycle. Meanwhile, Crypto YouTuber Jake Gagain predicted that Solana will rise to $750, although he mentioned that it will likely happen in 2025. SOL Could Become The Third-Largest Crypto Token Solana’s rise to as high as $500 could lead to the crypto token becoming the third largest crypto asset by market cap, only behind Bitcoin and Ethereum. This is possible, as a rise to $500 is almost double Solana’s current ATH. Crypto analyst Chris O also previously predicted that this would likely happen as he predicted Solana and ADA would battle for the position. Meanwhile, asset manager Franklin Templeton also sounded confident in Solana’s potential to become the third-largest cryptocurrency. In a recent analysis, the asset manager highlighted the factors that could lead to this development. One is Solana’s technology, which they think will be perfect for the sectors that will drive the next wave of crypto adoption. Related Reading: US Mega Banks JP Morgan And Wells Fargo Unveil Bitcoin Exposure As BTC Drops To $60,000 Franklin Templeton also alluded to the upcoming airdrops on the Solana network, which could bring more liquidity into the ecosystem and possibly cause a surge in Solana’s price, just like when the Jito and Pyth airdrops occurred. The asset manager also noted that meme coin activity on the network isn’t slowing, which could contribute to Solana’s rise to becoming the third-largest cryptocurrency. Solana has become the foremost network for trading meme coins, which has led to an influx of new investors into the ecosystem. Therefore, a sustained network expansion will likely reflect positively on Solana’s price sooner or later. At the time of writing, Solana is trading at around $144, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Amid the issues that continue to plague the network, the Solana open interest has seen a drop in the last week. This drop coincides with a decline in the cryptocurrency’s price, suggesting that investors may be getting wary of waiting for a fix to come through. Solana Open Interest Drops By $370 Million Solana saw its open interest rise steadily since the start of 2024, hitting an all-time high after an all-time high in the process. Between January and April, the Solana open interest went from around $1.22 billion to hit a new all-time high of $2.86 billion on April 1. This translates to an over 100% increase over this three-month period. Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Predicts Shiba Inu Price To Rise 5000% To $0.001 – Here’s When However, since hitting this new milestone, the cryptocurrency has encountered issues which have presented in the form of a network halt. Around a week ago, Solana users noticed that the blockchain had stopped processing transactions as usual, leading to a standstill in network activities. Expectations at the time were that the network would be back up and running in a matter of hours like it usually does. However, this has proven not to be the case, as the network is going on a week of downtime, one of the longest in its history. Since the network issues began, the SOL open interest has been falling as traders take a more cautionary approach. Coinglass data shows that the open interest is currently sitting at $2.39 billion on April 19, down $370 million from its all-time high, which is a 12.9% decline in around a week. Source: Coinglass Open interest measures the total number of outstanding futures and options contracts, so it means that traders have been closing their positions during this time. SOL Network Ready To Bounce Back? Developers are still working on getting the Solana network back on track but it has not been an easy road. Even now, the network continues to battle the blackout, with developers giving a week as an estimated delivery time for the network to be back on track. CEO of Helius Labs, Bert Mumtaz, revealed in an X (formerly Twitter) post that the current issues were being caused by an implementation bug. This bug has been the reason there have been more failed transactions on the network. Mumtaz also clarified that this bug does not equal a design flaw in the fact that it is relatively easier to fix. Related Reading: Crypto Expert Reveals What To Expect For Bitcoin, Dogecoin, And XRP In 12-16 Months The CEO explained that a patch for this implementation bug would still take a while and that developers are shooting for a fix by April 15, which was a week from the post. However, he added that this date was subject to change in the case where other bugs are discovered in testing. Following Mumtaz’s post, the Solana community is waiting with bated breaths for the network to return to fill operation. In the meantime, the price of Solana and other coins in the ecosystem has taken a hit. Bears have pushed down the SOL price as low as $175. However, the expectation is that SOL will come back with a vengeance once the network is operational again. Crypto analyst Ash Crypto has said that they expect that the price of SOL will eventually rise above $400. If this is correct, then the present predicament will be a short-lived roadblock in Solana’s rise.

Solana (SOL) has experienced a notable resurgence in its bullish momentum, with a rebound of over 9% in the past 24 hours. This notable performance has outpaced the top 10 largest cryptocurrencies in terms of market capitalization. The latest surge in SOL’s price has allowed it to surpass its resistance level on the daily chart at $184. The remaining hurdle of $201 now stands as the final barrier to prevent further gains for the cryptocurrency. However, industry experts and crypto analysts suggest that SOL’s price action indicates a potential continuation towards its previous all-time high of $259, achieved during the market’s bullish run in November 2021. SOL Price Expected To Breakout And Target All-Time Highs One analyst, “Jelle,” highlights SOL’s successful transformation of the last significant resistance level into support, suggesting a positive outlook for the token’s future. The analyst predicts that the SOL price will continue to rise and potentially exceed $250 by the summer. Related Reading: Bitcoin is “Overheating” For The First Time Ever Before Halving Similarly, another analyst using the pseudonym Mikybull points out that SOL is currently consolidating within a symmetrical triangle pattern on a daily timeframe. According to the analyst, a breakout from this pattern is expected to trigger an “explosive” price movement, aiming to reach its previous all-time high levels at around $255. Supporting SOL’s renewed bullish momentum, CoinGecko data reveals a significant increase in trading volume, with $4,514,426,127 traded in the last 24 hours. This represents a 74.20% surge compared to the previous day, indicating a notable surge in market activity. Solana Metrics Demonstrate Growing Investor Interest According to data from Token Terminal, Solana’s key metrics further highlight the use and adoption of its blockchain among investors. Starting with market capitalization, the fully diluted market capitalization is $99.32 billion. This figure represents the total market value if all tokens were in circulation. The fully diluted market capitalization over the past 30 days has increased by 70.0%. On the other hand, the circulating market cap, which only considers the tokens currently in circulation, is valued at $77.05 billion. It has witnessed a 30-day growth of 71.3%. Examining fees generated through transactions on the Solana network, the 30-day fees amount to $51.46 million. This represents a notable surge of 220.7% within 30 days, highlighting increased network usage and demand. When annualized, the fees reach $626.15 million.

When annualized, the revenue amounts to $313.08 million, showing the sustainable income generation within the Solana network. It remains to be seen if these metrics and bullish momentum will sustain SOL’s path to its current all-time highs. Featured image from Shutterstock, chart from TradingView.com

The dominance war is on. CoinMarketCap data shows that Solana and BNB Chain, two popular smart contracts platforms after Ethereum, are emerging as strong contenders. In a post on X, one crypto analyst notes that SOL and BNB, the native currencies of Solana and BNB Chain, respectively, have been growing, subsequently expanding the market caps of their respective platforms. However, even with this price uptick, it has yet to attain the 5% level, a target for proponents of the two platforms. Will Solana Flip BNB To Fourth? When the analyst shared the screenshot on March 14, BNB Chain, powered by Binance Coin (BNB), held a slight lead with a 3.34% dominance, while Solana trailed behind at 2.72%. Related Reading: Solana Smashes Major Resistance Levels, New All-Time High Imminent? However, Solana has been on a tear. Not only is the coin outperforming Bitcoin and Ethereum, but it has been expanding rapidly, faster than BNB in the past few trading weeks. When writing, CoinMarketCap data shows that SOL is trading above $170, a multi-month high. Moreover, it is up 11% on the last trading day and 20% in the previous trading week. At this valuation, SOL’s market cap is up 12% to over $75 billion, cementing its position at fifth, trailing BNB. On the other hand, BNB remains at fourth, behind USDT–the most liquid stablecoin whose market cap stands at over $103 billion. BNB is up 2% the previous day but double digits in the past week of trading. Overall, the lack of inactivity, especially on the last trading day, means its total market cap, at over $90 billion, is stable, only adding 2% on the last day. When comparing the performances of Solana and BNB, the former has the upper hand. For example, from September 2023, SOL gained over 200% versus BNB. BNB pared losses from January, but the revival in Solana, considering the success of meme coins, means SOL might extend gains in the future. Solana Rally On FTX’s Bankruptcy Case Proceedings, BNB Shakes Off Regulatory Woes As the competition intensifies, the future remains uncertain. It’s unclear whether SOL will overtake BNB to claim the second most dominant smart contract spot after Ethereum. However, at the time of writing, what’s certain is that the spike in on-chain activity on Solana and the unfolding events around the FTX bankruptcy case could bolster SOL prices. Therefore, it’s highly probable that Solana’s dominance might catch up with BNB as the race to the 5% level intensifies.
