As the broader crypto market rebounds following Donald Trump’s election on 5 November, Solana (SOL), currently the sixth largest token by market capitalization, has resumed its bullish trajectory, recently reclaiming the $230 price level.
On Wednesday, the Solana price surged nearly 7%, reaching $232 after a two-week correction period that followed its current all-time high achievement of $263 on November 23.
Could The Solana Price Soar To $4,000?
The recent price action suggests that Solana may be on track to not only retest its previous peak but potentially exceed it significantly.
Crypto analyst Ali Martinez highlighted a bullish “cup and handle” pattern forming on Solana’s one-month chart, indicating the potential for a remarkable uptrend.
Martinez forecasts that if this pattern plays out, Solana could see gains exceeding 1,650%, resulting in a new record price of $4,000 per token.
However, perspectives among analysts vary regarding the future trajectory of Solana. While some, like Cryptorangutan, emphasize the current momentum indicators and established buying pressure, predicting a surge toward the $300 mark, others urge caution.
Analyst MoreCryptoonl on the other hand, points out a completed pullback structure, indicating a clear five-wave move downward. This analysis suggests that while the recovery rally is underway, it remains uncertain whether it will develop into a bullish pattern or an ABC corrective structure.
Total Value Locked Hits $9.198 Billion
Despite the mixed technical signals, key financial metrics paint a largely positive picture for Solana. According to CoinMarketCap, the market capitalization stands at approximately $112.73 billion, positioning Solana as the sixth-largest cryptocurrency.
Additionally, its Total Value Locked (TVL) has reached $9.198 billion, reflecting continued interest in its decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem. However, decentralized exchange (DEX) volumes have fallen by 25% to $28 billion, indicating some volatility in trading activity.
The narrative surrounding Solana has been further fueled by recent developments in the market. Grayscale’s filing for a spot Solana ETF in the US has generated buzz, as the cryptocurrency community anticipates the potential for increased institutional investment.
Additionally, the project Jupiter has revised its $1.6 billion airdrop after a failed vote, while the platform Pump.fun reported record revenue of $93 million for November, despite experiencing a 66% weekly drop.
In the DeFi landscape, Solana has slipped to third place as Tron’s TVL surged 78% to $13 billion, yet it maintains a strong lead with 5.56 million active addresses.
However, the recent decline in DEX revenue and volume, particularly with Raydium experiencing an 8.22% drop, indicates a need for stability in trading activities within the ecosystem.
