The chart suggests that Solana will likely cross the $350 mark before 2026. The prediction is made in connection with the asset’s last three local highs, including the January all-time high of $294.
To achieve that, Solana would need to have a market cap of nearly $200 billion.
Grok Is Also Bullish on SOL
Grok, billionaire Elon Musk’s AI chatbot, shared its bullish stance on SOL, Ethereum ETH $3 455 24h volatility: 6.3% Market cap: $416.62 B Vol. 24h: $58.56 B , Avalanche AVAX $16.78 24h volatility: 7.3% Market cap: $7.17 B Vol. 24h: $707.61 M , Uniswap UNI $5.44 24h volatility: 9.7% Market cap: $3.43 B Vol. 24h: $326.52 M , and Aave AAVE $203.5 24h volatility: 9.3% Market cap: $3.11 B Vol. 24h: $529.46 M in an X post responding to Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan’s speech on “Project Crypto.”

“These areas are seen as key investment opportunities under potential regulatory reforms,” Grok said. The bullish expectations come while the crypto market consolidates in the bearish zone.
The global cryptocurrency market cap is hovering at $3.73 trillion, and the 24-hour liquidations increased by 15% to $322 million, according to CoinGlass.
Solana saw $17 million in liquidations over the past day — $13.3 million longs and $3.7 million shorts. The dominance of long liquidations puts pressure on assets, leading to corrections and volatility.
CoinGlass data shows that Solana’s funding rate fell below zero for the fourth time over the past six days. If short liquidations start to rise, SOL will likely gain upward momentum.
However, the market uncertainty could still put pressure on the buyers due to the random sell-offs from different whales and retail investors.
