The latest increase in activity confirms Solana’s growing popularity as the blockchain attracts more users, decentralized applications, and developers.
Solana will likely witness more adoption as the network expands, with new updates and features (like ZK Compression) keeping the crypto on investors’ radar.
Meanwhile, the altcoin has seen notable growth in user activity since mid-last year as the blockchain positioned itself as among the most scalable networks in the NFT and DeFi industries.
Moreover, the growth reflects Solana’s capability to handle massive transactions efficiently – a crucial factor in cryptocurrency adoption.
Enthusiasts can expect these trends to continue as Solana solidifies its presence as a top project in the blockchain sector.
SOL price outlook
Solana exhibits a bullish stance at press time, changing hands at $138 following a more than 4% uptick in the previous 24 hours. The upsurge comes after the Fed confirmed a 50 basis point rate cut, elevating broad market sentiments.

Fed’s move fueled optimism in the financial space, catalyzing notable jumps in crypto prices. SOL’s 60% jump in daily trading volume reflects magnified investor optimism, suggesting continued upswings.
Solana printed a bull-flag setup amid the prevailing sideways movements. Strengthened bullishness could propel SOL towards the flag pattern’s resistance, translating to a 40% uptick.
A possible breakout will amplify the upside momentum, pushing Solana to $275 before jumping to explore $300. That would translate to an approximately 118% increase from SOL’s current price.
However, sudden bearishness could see the alt slumping below the support barrier of $132.48. further weakness might plummet SOL to $120, invalidating the anticipated near-term rallies.
