Solana is making headlines with an 8% price surge in the last 24 hours, signaling growing bullish momentum. At press time, SOL trades at $143.3, still below its 20-day EMA but showing strong institutional interest.
Traders Bet Big on SOL
On Binance Futures, 78.82% of traders are holding long positions in SOL, according to analyst Ali Martinez. CoinGlass data also highlights a 106% surge in derivatives volume and an 1,117% spike in options trading.
📈 What does this mean?
- Increased derivatives activity often signals rising bullish sentiment.
- SOL is currently the sixth-largest crypto, drawing more investor attention.
Institutional Inflows Reach $6.4M
According to CoinShares, Solana investment products saw $6.4 million in inflows, while Ethereum recorded $86 million in outflows.
This shift suggests institutional investors are favoring Solana over Ethereum, possibly seeing it as a stronger long-term alternative. Additional capital has also flowed into Polygon and Chainlink, reinforcing broader altcoin market interest.
Will a Solana ETF Be Approved?
The hype around a potential spot Solana ETF is adding to investor excitement. Polymarket predictions suggest an 87% chance of approval in 2025.
Even Donald Trump recently mentioned SOL as a candidate for inclusion in the U.S. crypto reserve. With a pro-crypto SEC in place, the chances of an ETF approval are improving. If successful, Solana could see massive institutional adoption, similar to Bitcoin ETFs.
SOL Price Analysis: Key Resistance Ahead
Indicators to Watch:
✅ RSI at 52.14 → Indicates room for upward movement.
✅ Bollinger Bands show SOL testing $146.28 → A breakout could push SOL to $175–$200.
Solana’s ecosystem is also expanding, with meme tokens and stablecoins gaining traction. Trump even launched his own Official Trump Token, currently trading at $11.89 with a $2.37 billion market cap.
What’s Next for Solana?
If SOL breaks $146, it could target $175 or even $200 in the coming weeks. However, a rejection at resistance could lead to a short-term pullback.
