While the broader crypto market consolidates, Solana SOL $157.4 24h volatility: 4.5% Market cap: $82.97 B Vol. 24h: $4.75 B price has shown a strong upside of 7.83% in the last 24 hours, with daily trading volumes soaring by a massive 100% to more than $4.53 billion. This massive boost in trading volume comes amid optimism surrounding the Solana ETF, along with crypto exchange Bybit launching a Solana-based decentralized exchange Byreal.
For a long period of time, the SOL price has oscillated between the key support and resistance levels of $140-$185. Today’s upside comes with a 100% surge in trading volumes, suggesting that bulls are preparing for a bigger move this time.
As per the CoinGlass data, the SOL futures open interest has also surged 10.27% to nearly $7 billion. Furthermore, the daily liquidations for SOL have also shot past $14 million, of which $11 million is in short liquidations.
Prominent crypto analyst Old Hawk has outlined a bullish trajectory for Solana (SOL). According to the analyst, SOL price must first break above the $187 mark to set the stage for further upward momentum. Crossing this will open the gates for the bulls to take it further to its all-time high of $263.
“If $263 is breached, we could easily enter price discovery,” Old Hawk noted, suggesting a period of uncharted price growth for the cryptocurrency.
