Prominent altcoin Solana was one of the major headliners recently, notching an 8.22% gain in the last seven days, according to data from CoinMarketCap. This positive performance saw Solana climb as high as $150, a price mark last seen in late August. The sentiments around the fifth-largest cryptocurrency are largely bullish, however crypto analyst Ali Martinez has released certain cautionary notes for investors.

Solanas Price Breakout Crucial To Avoid Slip To $85 In an X post on Sunday, Ali Martinez noted that Solana is currently headed for major price resistance at the $154 price zone. The analyst warns the altcoin must not suffer a rejection at this price level to avoid a major price crash. In the crypto market, price rejections at certain price marks occur for various reasons including historical evidence of resistance at said price level. According to Solanas daily chart, the $154 price zone presents a strong resistance level stretching as far back as May. If a rejection occurs at this level, Solana could likely fall to around $128 in a best-case scenario. However, the presence of massive selling pressure could drive the altcoins price as low as $85, indicating a potential 44.1% decline from Solanas current price. Alternatively, If Solana breaks past $154, it could attain a market price of $190, at which lies its next major resistance. Such price gain would represent a 23.37% increase in the assets present market valuation. At the time of writing, Solana continues to trade at $147.37 with a 1.24% gain on the last day, amid a 58.13% decline in trading volume activity. Also, the altcoin remains one of the market’s most resilient assets with 7.65% and 2.27% in the past seven and thirty days respectively despite long periods of market downturn. As the final quarter of 2024 approaches, Solana remains one of the favorite coins for profitability based on historical price data. This bullish stance is further strengthened by a robust meme market valued at $6.56 billion and continuous network development. Solana To Soon Host cbBTC – Coinbase In other news, American crypto exchange Coinbase has unveiled a plan to integrate its newly launched wrapped Bitcoin asset- cbBTC – with the Solana network. This development was revealed by Coinbase executive Hassan Ahmed while speaking at the Breakpoint conference who cited interest in the Solana network from the exchange customers. Coinbase launched cbBTC on September 12 as a new digital product pegged 1:1 ratio with Bitcoin held in the exchange reserves. The wrapped Bitcoin asset was initially launched on the Ethereum and Base network with availability to customers in the United Kingdom, Australia, Singapore, and the United States barring New York.

Aave, the decentralized lending platform, is among the largest DeFi protocols by total value locked (TVL). Over the years, despite the crypto price boom and bust cycle, the platform has operated flawlessly without any technical hitches. Aave User Address Grew By 675% In One Week Since the beginning of the year, Aave has dominated headlines, mostly around its price performance and rising TVL. However, looking at other metrics, the lending platform is performing solidly. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price To $95,000? Heres What Needs To Happen First According to Santiment, Aave on Optimism is the fastest-growing protocol on their watch among platforms, commanding at least $500 million in TVL. The number of Aave addresses on Optimism grew by 675%, roughly twice that of KuCoin tokens (KCS). At this pace, Aave outperformed Maker–another lending and borrowing protocol on Ethereum, Chainlink on Optimism, and Raydium–a top decentralized exchange (DEX) on Solana. Of note, Chainlink on Optimism and Raydium grew over the last week by 100%. The fact that Aave on Optimism grew faster than Raydium, the top DEX on Solana, is a milestone. By default, any meme coin launching on Pumpfun that achieves at least 69 SOL automatically lists on Raydium. Although only a small percentage graduate and are listed on Raydium, tens of thousands of meme coins launch on the meme coin launchpad on Solana. Santiment now thinks AAVE prices may likely benefit from this growth. Pointing to historical performance, the sentiment analytics platform said there is usually a strong correlation between rising utility and consistent growth with long-term gains. According to Dune, there are over 49,800 unique daily users of Aave v3 on Ethereum. Over the last two days, there were 70 new users. While there is growth in the number of cumulative users, as expected, the number of new users remains steady. Will Prices Rise To Fresh 2024 Highs? AAVE is trading above $150, trending at around 2024 highs. Although the token is in an uptrend, prices have moved sideways over the past four weeks. Technically, a close above $180 could drive demand, lifting prices to new 2024 highs in the coming days. Possible drivers include the recovery of DeFi and other project-related factors. As of October 17, 56% of all cbBTC–the Bitcoin stablecoin by Coinbase–was locked in Aave.
