Solana experienced a dip below $90, but it managed to recover early this week, surging back into the $100 range on January 11. As of the current writing, SOL has seen a 7% increase in the daily index, trading at $104. The recent approval of the Bitcoin spot ETF has infused positive market sentiment, fueling hopes for a potential Solana price rally in the coming weeks.
However, Changelly’s forecast suggests a 5.08% decrease in SOL’s price, projecting a low point around January 12, 2024. Analyzing technical indicators, the token exhibits an 86% bullish market sentiment, while the Fear & Greed Index registers a score of 73, indicating a greedy market.
A look into the past 30-day trend shows that Solana has observed 15 green days out of 30 [50% success rate] with a price volatility of 16.68%. In the last 7 days, SOL has displayed a positive upward trend, posting a 3.42% increase. The strong potential shown by the leading altcoin recently presents an enticing investment opportunity.
Over the preceding month, SOL’s price has surged by an impressive 38%, adding an average of $35.8 to its current value. This rapid growth positions the coin as a robust asset, provided the upward trajectory continues.
Capitalizing on Solana’s blockchain, the meme coin Bonk [BONK] has experienced a notable 30% surge, trading at approximately $0.00001315 at the time of reporting. Bonk’s market cap reached $800 million, accompanied by a substantial 160% increase in daily trade volume over the past 24 hours.

This surge comes after Bonk underwent substantial sell-offs, plummeting by over 70% from its all-time high on December 15, 2023. Notably, Bonk has since outperformed other meme coins like Dogecoin [DOGE], Shiba Inu [SHIB], and Pepe Coin [PEPE], which recorded gains ranging from 5% to 11%.
Meme coins have become integral to Solana’s transaction volume, influencing trading activities for over a month. The token’s recent rise in value coincided with another update. More than 14,000 Solana Saga phones have been activated, as reported in the latest tweet from SolanaFloor on January 11, 2024. The Solana Saga, developed in collaboration with smartphone manufacturer Osom, is described as a premium hardware experience and a flagship-quality Android device designed specifically for crypto purposes.
