Solana Leads Crypto Rally As Expectations For A Break Above $200 Grow
Solana has recently captured the attention of market participants with a remarkable surge to $175, stunning investors and analysts alike. Solana is currently up 40% from its lowest point of $123 this month. The cryptocurrencys strong upward momentum has reignited optimism among traders and investors, who are now eagerly anticipating a potential breakthrough above the $200 mark in the coming week.
Traders have also noted the formation of a bullish pennant formation on the SOL price chart, which reaffirms the expectations for a $200 SOL price. This pattern is typically seen as a continuation signal, suggesting that the current uptrend may persist into the coming week.
Growing Speculation Of SOL Breaking Above $200
According to data from Santiment, Solana has experienced an impressive breakout, surging by 33% since the 4th of July. Interestingly, the on-chain tracker observed that despite this significant price increase, there was still a notable amount of negativity surrounding Solana among some traders. This persistent skepticism created a Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) among the majority of investors, which in turn fueled the upward momentum of Solanas price. The price surge means that Solana faithful, which have held on despite the extended drop last month, have been largely rewarded for their patience.

Analysts at Santiment are optimistic about Solanas future, predicting that the current price surge will continue and potentially push SOL past the $200 mark again. At the time of writing, Solana is trading at $171, which means it would need to experience an additional 17% increase to reach the anticipated $200 level.
Until FOMO replaces the FUD, $200 SOL is very much reachable soon, Santiment said.
This projection of continued growth is grounded in recent market trends and the overall bullish sentiment that has been building around Solana. Investors and traders are watching closely to see if Solana can maintain its momentum and reach the $200 target.
SOL Technical Analysis
Technical analysis on SOL price also suggests a bullish breakout above $200. According to crypto analyst CryptoBusy, Solana is now forming a pennant formation on the daily candlestick chart. The chart reveals that since March 2024, Solana has exhibited a pattern of lower highs and higher lows, drawing out a tightening range and a squeeze in price corrections.
This consolidation phase typically sets the stage for a breakout, with CryptoBusy suggesting a price target of around $210 if Solana breaks to the upside.

On the other hand, crypto analyst Ali Marinez believes the pennant flag is setting Solana up for a potential 900% rally up to $1,800. Such a massive surge, while speculative, underscores the bullish sentiment and the current FOMO surrounding Solana within the crypto community.
