Solana on the Verge of a Major Breakthrough: Can It Outperform Its 2021 Rally?
Solana is currently displaying a price trend that mirrors its breakout in 2021, according to analyst Ali Martinez. Martinez recently highlighted this similarity in a post, pointing out that Solana’s three-day price chart is following a trajectory similar to its performance in 2021. Furthermore, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at a comparable level to that time.
Could Solana Repeat Its 2021 Breakthrough?
Martinez’s technical analysis charts indicate that Solana is exhibiting a pattern reminiscent of its breakout in 2021. The charts show that SOL’s price action has formed a descending triangle, similar to the pattern it followed three years ago. The breakout from this pattern in 2021 led to a significant rally, and current indicators suggest the potential for a similar movement.
The charts also reveal a symmetrical triangle pattern, a bullish continuation indicator, hinting that Solana could be gearing up for another breakout. In 2021, after breaking out of a similar triangle pattern, Solana experienced a notable price surge. The historical context supports the current technical setup, suggesting a bullish momentum could be on the horizon.
Adding to the positive sentiment, global asset management firm Franklin Templeton Investments has expressed optimism about Solana’s future in the cryptocurrency industry. The firm highlighted Solana’s role in shaping the industry’s future, further boosting confidence in the digital asset.
Over the past week, Solana has seen an 18% increase, indicating strong market confidence and potential for further growth. With a current trading price of $181.49 on July 25, SOL USD has shown a 5.19% increase in the past 24 hours. The cryptocurrency has a robust 24-hour trading volume of $8.77 billion and a market capitalization of $80.70 billion, solidifying its position as a key player in the crypto market.
The Fear & Greed Index is currently at 69, signaling prevalent greed among investors, which is often seen as a bullish indicator. SOL has had 21 positive days out of the last 30, demonstrating consistent upward momentum. The price swing of 9.29% further highlights the potential gains and volatility in the short term.
Cryptocurrency analyst Jelle shared that Solana is still following its ‘Summer 2021 Playbook,’ predicting a continued upward trend with a final target of around $600.
The potential approval of Solana ETFs could serve as a bullish catalyst for its market performance. Exchange operator Cboe Global Markets has filed a request with the SEC to list ETFs tied to Solana, with a decision expected by March 5, 2025. President of ETF Store, Nate Geraci, anticipates the launch of an ETF combining Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, which could simplify the investment process and boost investor confidence in Solana, potentially driving up SOL prices.
