Solana price hits 17-month high above $54: What next for SOL?

  • Solana price rose to $54 on Friday, its highest level since May 2022.
  • SOL has outperformed top altcoins as positive catalysts aid bulls’ push, with price up 40% this past week and 138% over 30 days.
  • How far can Solana price rise? Data suggests further upside is possible.

Solana continued its outperformance on Friday with another huge green candle as price rose 24% to climb to highs of $54. The cryptocurrency’s value has jumped more than 40% this past week and an impressive 138% over the last 30 days.

According to data from CoinGecko, Solana price has increased by 220% in the past year – reclaiming levels it traded at before the collapse of crypto exchange FTX.

Solana price breaks above $54

Despite recent sell-off pressure, bulls have managed to push SOL price to its highest level since May 2022.

The breakout to this 17-month high comes after buyers regained control at the critical $30 level, with this allowing for further upside to $38. A retest and fresh impetus allowed for this week’s parabolic move to $50.

According to crypto data and market intelligence platform Santiment, Solana’s gains are accompanied by a major spike in crowd discussions about the coin.
While funding rates have flipped higher, they are yet to enter the danger zone. Can SOL see more gains? 

As highlighted earlier, Ethereum, Solana and other altcoins exploded today after news that BlackRock had filed for a spot Ethereum ETF.

Also playing a role in the price surge was this week’s comments by Gary Gensler, the chairman of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Gensler noted during an interview with CNBC that plans to revive FTX could work if those looking to do so adhered to the law.

Gensler’s comments came at a time when reports indicated that entities looking to reboot the bankrupt exchange had come down to a final shortlist of three companies. It includes Bullish, a digital assets platform founded by a former New York Exchange executive.
