Solana (SOL) has experienced a notable downturn, reflecting the broader bearish sentiments in the cryptocurrency sector. Over the past week, SOL’s value has dropped by nearly 9%, while over the last 30 days, it has plummeted by 25%.
Despite the overall market taking a breather and gradually shifting towards positive price gains, SOL has struggled to maintain its footing. Bitcoin’s recent rebound from its $64.5k support level has injected some positivity into the market, offering hope for a recovery.
Moreover, a significant development that could help counter the bearish momentum for altcoins is the announcement from ConsenSys, an Ethereum developer. In a June 19 post on X (formerly Twitter), they revealed, “The Enforcement Division of the SEC has notified us that it is closing its investigation into Ethereum 2.0.” This news has been seen as a positive indicator, potentially mitigating further downward pressure on altcoins like SOL.
At the time of writing, SOL’s price stands at $134.17, with a 24-hour trading volume of $5.19 billion and a market cap of $60.30 billion. The SOL price has decreased by 1.80% in the last 24 hours, continuing its recent trend of decline.
Analyst Forecasts Solana (SOL) to Surge $450+
Renowned crypto analyst Javon Marks has shared an optimistic forecast for the price trajectory of Solana (SOL). Marks envisions a significant upward movement, projecting Solana to reach an impressive $450 and beyond.
Since Marks’ initial analysis, Solana’s price has soared more than 1,200%, climbing from $16.12 to approach the $233.8 target, with prices reaching nearly $210 before experiencing a pullback to their current levels.
This substantial rise followed a notable breakout, suggesting that Solana’s bullish run is far from over. Marks believes that Solana can still hit the $233.8 target, representing an additional potential upside of around 66% from current levels.
Furthermore, the recent pullback just shy of this target might be a sign of consolidating strength, setting the stage for a breakthrough above $233.8. Should this occur, Marks anticipates that Solana could soar to $457.97, offering a potential upside of nearly 100%.
